Just wondering what does Real Estate Salesperson do? How do they find a client? does company organize for them? or they have to find by themselves? If they have to find by themselves, how? we don't do cold call in this market, right?
They get listings, sell property and charge the seller a percentage of the sale price for doing so.
Most of them operate independently – getting listings on their own, under the banner of the franchise that they work for.
Cheers

Thank you, Jamie:
How do they operate independently?
Do they wait in office, publish information online, waiting ppl to call/email to sell or buy property?
Nothing comes to those who just wait. It is a lot of hard work getting the listing – you need to be a known quantity in the market (being a part of a franchise helps), known locally ie have been working in an area for a while, links with local community groups to raise your profile, cold calling, door knocks, promotion (adverts), promotion (letterbox), (shameless self-) promotion.
An agent can only operate independently if they hold a licence through fair trading/v cat etc. Most salespeople property managers only hold a certificate of registration (2-3 day course) which provides the basics on the laws, and how to prospect for sales.
sounds like a tough job, why do they do cold call and door to door? ask a stranger if they want to sell or buy a property?
Does the company pay the advertising fee? such as ads online, newspaper, letterbox etc?
It.comes out of the agent’s pocket but paid by the agency initially.

You can't expect to create something from nothing – you need to do something in order to see results.
