With the changing market a lot of real estate agents may find themselves wondering what else can they do with their real estate license besides buying & selling houses. Well here are just a few things a real estate agent can do with a license.
1.
Apartment leasing agents: Many landlords and agencies need someone who can show property to prospective tenants, write lease agreements, and take care of other details. Rather than hiring an outside broker to perform this work they will manage this process in-house and hire their own leasing agent as an employee.
2. Licensed Assistant: This can have its perks as you will probably have set hours, steady paychecks, and not get the complaint calls from clients. Become friends with the top producers in your area or watch for ads to see if any are needing extra help with their workload. You can also consider becoming a virtual assistant.
3. Writer: The internet is an open market for writers, especially those who can offer a viewpoint in a specialized field such as real estate. You can start your own website or publish articles on sites such as AssociatedContent.com. You can also search for paying writing jobs on sites such as sologig.com.
4.
Real Estate Scout: Many companies often need someone to scout out properties for new locations or developments. There are also many investors who can benefit from having a full time employee on hand who can help find houses that have excellent future profitability.
5. Marketing Assistant: After having my daughter I just couldn’t see myself going back into real estate full time. I partnered with a few high profile agents and became their marketing assistant by helping them with mailing campaigns, brochure designs, newsletters, and other marketing related activities.
6. Home Stager: While you may need additional professional designations this can be a profitable business by meeting with potential sellers and helping them choose what changes are necessary to sell their home as quickly as possible and for the highest price. Bonus: You might even be able to earn some referral dollars by referring your clients to agents to sell their home.
7. Title and Closing: There are many title and closing companies that can offer jobs in gathering and coordinating the necessary documents and procedures for closings. As more and more banks depend on larger companies to do this for them, many job opportunities are available.
