Estate Agent Employment: How to Become an Estate Agent
Most UK estate agencies are relatively small; indeed, some are a one-person business. Some large property firms have several hundred estate agents operating out of many branch offices.
Many estate agencies have franchise agreements with national or regional organisations. Under this type of arrangement, the estate agency pays a fee in exchange for the privilege of using the more widely known name and business practices of the parent organisation. This syste
Although franchised agents and brokers often receive help training property sales people and running their offices, self employment means they bear the ultimate responsibility for the success or failure of their estate agency.
UK Estate agents are older, on average, than most other workers. Historically, many homemakers and retired persons were attracted to jobs in estate agency and property sales by the flexible and part time work schedules characteristic of this field. They could enter a job, leave, and later reenter the occupation, depending on the strength of the UK property market, family responsibilities, or other personal circumstances.
Recently, however, the attractiveness of part time jobs has declined, as internet marketing and simplified technological requirements reduce startup costs associated with becoming an estate agent.
