Real Estate Jobs

A “For Sale” sign in your neighbor's front yard means that you'll soon be seeing a real estate agent coming and going, showing the home to potential buyers. While being an agent is one of the familiar jobs in real estate, many other real estate jobs come into play when a home or commercial property is for sale.

It takes a large team of professionals from diverse backgrounds to help individuals and businesses buy, sell, and live or operate in real estate. The National Association of Realtors says that most real estate jobs have several things in common—the freedom and flexibility to work at your own pace and set your hours and a direct correlation between the amount of time and effort you put in and your income.

Besides being a real estate agent, you might look at being a broker or a leasing agent if you're a people person. If your interest is in finance, you can be a real estate investor, developer, attorney, appraiser, or loan officer. If you're looking for a management job, a residential or commercial property manager might be a good fit. Many other jobs support the real estate industry, so whatever you're looking for, find it right here on Monster.
