Q:What is a reasonable fee for Real Estate agents to charge for selling a home? I’m located in California.

The normal rate around the country is 6% of sale, but since the market is turning you should be able to negotiate. You have to remember that unless he is the broker of record for the company, they will have to split there fee's. Plus if they are not the listing selling agent then fee's will have to be split. So in most cases the person you are working with does not get thee whole fee. So in some case's your are getting alot for very little money, remember you get what you pay for.

Q:Hi,I am looking at real estate development as a possible career but need to know how to start out i have 2 years left at high school so are there any subjects i should elect to study ? Also when i graduate high school and go to university/college what should i study ? Thirdly is it a good paying job ? And any other tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.Thanks heaps in advance :)

Hi Trish, It's really good to know that you are thinking about a career even before getting out of high school. This shows your maturity. I have made Real Estate my career choice for 17 years (and still love it) I would interview with a lot of different brokers first of all- most times will offer schooling free or part of their in house training. The catch is they will want you to work for and with them (you will be able to see how the real estate industry works first hand). In real estate you learn something new everyday, so being around top producers will be a benefit in your learning. Every area has a real estate association, just google real estate association for your city. Once you find out where it is at either go there or call them. They can provide you with a list of both online schools or physical real estate schools that are close to you. Like any job or career, the outcome of success is what you put into it. The potential to make very good money in real estate is there (without a doubt) but it does consist of hard work and consistency. Results may not be seen for 3-6 months so make sure you have reserves when you first get started. Tips: I would always think outside the box and don't always think the normal traditional way works best. Start a new trend, be different but always be true to who you are and the potential clients you may be working with. As a whole the public already has a negative image of real estate agents, so we need to work extra hard to let them know we are different and we do Truly care. Like I said I have been doing real estate for almost 17 years (I have both my Georgia and California license) I still have the passion like it was yesterday. If I can be of anymore help, please let me know i would love to answer anymore questions you may have.

Q:I did some research on the work of a real estate agent and I feel like I would really like the job. I know it all depends on me but I'd like to hear some opinions from real estate agents, brokers or anyone who has an opinion about the job.

I'm starting next week on my studies. The comission is great. Lets say you sell a multimillion dollar house, you'll easily walk away with atleast half a million in comission. Typically, one sale equals several thousand. I'd say that and if your into looking at different homes, having your own hours, and being out in the streets while on the job; it can be very ideal. The major con, is the recession. The economy seems like it's shot even though they say the recession ended, what, about a year ago? The housing market is in a bad state. It would be tough to make a sale, especially for a new agent. But if you already have a part time job like me, I think you could do it without struggling financially any worse than you already are..

Q:im curious as to how to make money in real estate w/o long term investments, im talking like doing it as a profession. Can you make 6 figures from buying and selling real estate, what are the best methods? wholesaling, flipping, renting. Im only 17"will be 18 in a few months" how can i get started at a young age? any advice would be great

I consider the one situation worse to spend money on truly property than the USA correct now might be U.K. Why now not spend money on india? Buy up as so much seashore estate as you'll be able to and spot in which it take you in 10 or 15 years while india is a superpower and americans are flocking there for jobs considering the fact that our economic procedure collapes.

Q:I live in Kansas and have been very interested in becoming a real estate agent. Could anyone please explain the process I would have to go through in order to achieve this goal. I understand there are courses that must be taken before an exam, but so far I have only found online classes available. Are there any courses that are in a classroom? Any information on this subject would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Kemperk has answered you well as far as specifics. I would also encourage you to visit the local board of REALTORS and ask a lot of questions. Being a real estate agent requires personal resources to get your business up and going. Your earnings are 100% commission based and you have to pay your own way for local board membership. NAR membership, Kansas Association of REALTORS, MLS fees, broker split with any transactions, your own gas, computer, computer connection, cell phone service, additional advertising and the list goes on. All of this is paid out of pocket before your first transaction closes and you collect your first check. The State mandated basic course is usually paid by the student, the fee the State charges to take the test and fee for the license once you have passed the test. It may take you two to six months to close your first transaction if you really get out there and generate leads. I haven't covered but the tip of the iceberg but it can be a great business and a lot of money can be made but the truth of the matter is the average agent may only close a few transactions in a year and if lucky make $20 to $30k. Most will make far less but if you like people, sales, are willing to be taught and know how to manage money you will do well.

I feel mortgages in these days are strolling round three.7%. I in no way heard of what you are speakme approximately. Only the ones rapid speakme men and women who write truly property books and exhibit you ways rapid men and women made cash their manner are those who manage not anything down or say they do. No financial institution in these days (for the reason that the 2008 loan fiasco) will lend with out being brilliant certain they'll get their a reimbursement, and a individual with not anything down manner they don't seem to be liable ample to save lots of the 20% wanted for a downpayment.
