Real Estate Academy Australia

A career in real estate offers you the opportunity to meet a wide variety of people and the prospect to be very successful provided you are prepared to work hard and commit yourself. Opportunities are available right now for those who are committed to succeed. The results of recently conducted research into industry recruitment requirements has indicated that there would be in the vicinity of 4000 jobs waiting to be filled by the right candidates in NSW alone.

In the past, many people would tolerate unprofessional and even unethical behaviour from a real estate salesperson simply because they believed that this was the nature of the business. Today though, people are looking for professional business people who know their product, will listen to and care about their needs, have a plan, deliver on their promises and will help them during the most important financial decision-making periods of their lives.

Real estate is not only a satisfying, service-oriented profession, it can also be one of the highest paid in the world.

In their first year, salespeople today earn on average between $70,000 and $100,000 per annum. As they build up the number of contacts they have in their area, this figure has the potential to double or more in a salesperson’s second year and beyond.

From school leavers and people seeking a career change to mothers re-entering the workforce, the real estate industry welcomes people from many different backgrounds. Our industry has seen many success stories from people who have made the move from
industries such as hospitality, banking and finance and medicine. Great career path opportunities exist also. When people talk about real estate, they immediately conjure up an image of a residential salesperson. In fact there are jobs to suit many different skills as
the real estate industry includes property management, commercial sales and leasing, auctioneering, administration and general management.

Get qualified, get hired
There are basically two types of training in real estate. There is certified training and there is, what is known as ‘street’ training. Many organisations offer certified training, which will give you the qualification you need to enter the industry. But the fact of the matter is this - in recruiting new staff, real estate employers will show preference to those people who not only have the necessary qualification to enter the industry, but who have also been trained
in the ‘how to’ of selling real estate (which is the aim of ‘street’ training).

Let’s take a look at what today’s real estate employers are looking for.

“We want people who can show or demonstrate an ability to sell.”

“We need people who can basically come in and just hit the ground running.”

“I’m looking for people with drive and commitment, people who want a career, not just a job.”

There is one product on the market that delivers what real estate industry employers are looking for and that product is called THRIVE.

Getting qualified

Getting hired
At Real Estate Academy, we are here to help you through the entire process, from obtaining your qualification to work in the industry to connecting you with real estate principals seeking new recruits.
Here’s what real estate employers are saying about THRIVE.
“The Thrive program basically finds the right people for us.”
“Like everyone in real estate, we’re very busy. We need people to be pretty switched on even before they enter our induction program. The Thrive program saves us a huge amount of time and effort.”
“We want people who can show or demonstrate an ability to sell. And the Thrive program does exactly that. We need to see people who can show a commitment to a program because that shows us
that they are most keen for those jobs.”
We have established a partnership program with leading real estate agencies that allows us to connect THRIVE graduates to them via our unique Employment Email Alert System.

Here’s how it works…
Upon graduating from THRIVE, you will be asked to nominate (by postcode) the area in which you would like to work. Your details are then sent to real estate principals who have nominated Real Estate Academy as their employment partners in the area of your
choice. In this way, your chances of gaining employment are fully maximised.

What you should know about a career in real estate

YOU determine your own success.
That’s right … it’s up to you. Success comes from dedication to the job, and a commitment to continuous improvement through further training. By having a great attitude, you are
guaranteeing great results!
Your job is secure during an economic downturn
The ‘Great Australian Dream’ ensures that people are always buying and selling property, regardless of the state of the economy. As an agent, you will always be in demand to help
people achieve their desired outcomes.

Your professional honesty is a key to your success
Despite a reputation for dishonesty that real estate agents have developed, success in today’s industry will only come through a commitment to honest, transparent service.

You have excellent income prospects
The industry average income in the first 12 months of employment exceeds 70,000 p.a. High Flyers can earn between $250,000 and $350,000 p.a. for homes priced between $450,000 and $600,000, and agents who sell homes in more prestigious areas can earn in excess of $600,000 p.a.!

Your success requires a passionate commitment beyond ‘9 till 5’
In the first six months, most successful agents commit to a six-day week of approximately 50 – 60 hours. By the third quarter, your time management skills and achievement of
your sales targets will dictate your working hours.
