Real Estate Profession in Malaysia
The real estate profession has moved beyond the old concept of “brokering” between house owners and buyers.
Today, the profession covers every
conceivable transaction and renting of properties; be it apartments,
houses, commercial buildings, office space, industrial buildings and
land of every category.
The profession had gained enough respect
that certain developers are willing to engage real estate agents to
market their projects. Managing properties for owners is a further proof
how much the profession had expanded.
In Malaysia, all practicing estate
agents must be approved and registered with the Board of Valuers,
Appraisers and Estate Agents. Currently there are approximately 2,000
estate agents registered with the board. Each estate agent is usually
assisted by a number of real estate negotiators in the marketing of the
properties.
Fringe and Benefits of a Career in Real Estate
Not many other careers can give you more time flexibility and better potential income than Real Estate.
With proper knowledge, guidance and
intelligently applied effort, the sky is the limit. Helping people find
solution to their need for properties, turning properties into cash for
owners and getting a hefty reward for your effort is the greatest
satisfaction one can experience in this profession.
Real Estate Profession
Getting into the real estate business can be one of the most rewarding, yet tiresome occupations out there. Whether the rewards outweigh the downfalls of the position really does depend on the person looking into the career.
If you are a family-oriented person or
someone who likes to spend a lot of time to themselves or enjoying the
more leisurely things in life and you are really not looking to give
these things up (at least for a while), real estate may not be the right
gig for you.
Generally, getting settled into the real
estate business can take up to six months, or even a year! Of course, a
year does sound like an extremely long time to get into an occupation,
but if you think about it and take into consideration all of the steps
that are involved, that time frame is fairly reasonable.
