About a Career as a Real Estate Agent

Real estate agents help people with buying, selling, or leasing homes, buildings, and land. Residential real estate agents specialize in working with homeowners, while commercial real estate agents deal with office space and buildings.

Real estate agents make sure their clients have all the information they need to set selling prices, make offers, and negotiate a great deal. Real estate agents are paid a commission which is a percentage of the sale price of each transaction, so your earning potential is unlimited.
