Job Description

A Real Estate Outside Sales Professional is a real estate agent who manages all aspects of a home purchase and sale. Buying or selling a home can be a daunting process for clients, so they depend on sales professionals to give them expert advice on how to market and sell their home and how to find a new home that is of good value and meets their needs. In this position, you will come up with creative ideas to make your clients' home stand out amongst other homes so they can sell it quickly and for a favorable deal.

Compensation for Real Estate Agents is commission-based. This means that the more property you help buy and sell, the more income you will earn. Real estate is booming right now, so this is a great time to get involved in this industry. Many agents make over $100,000 after spending a few years building a client base.

Regulatory Notice: While a real estate license is not required to apply, you must obtain a real estate license before officially being hired.
