    Hi every one,

    My name is Johann I am from Melbourne turning 24 in a couple of weeks. I am currently employed as a Sales and marketing Coordinator in the freight forwarding industry.

    I have always had a tendency of getting into the real estate industry as a profession but before I consider getting into the industry, I would like to talk to people who are presently or used to work in the real estate industry.

    Hopefully I will be able to get an opinion or two,

    Best Regards
    Johann Psaila

    As you already have a background in sales & marketing, do the introductory real estate sales course (to enable you to work in the industry as a sales person). Speak to a few agents (both principals and sales people) – do it on a quiet day in their offices ie not Frid/Sat at an open house.

    There are numerous openings due to the variety of property ie residential, commercial, retail & sales vs leasing. With a sales/marketing background you may be able to make a move into one of the major shopping centre owners as a leasing exec (great money but will burn you out after a few years).

    Hi Thanks for the Tip!!!

    Your right i have been told becasue i allready work in this feild i allready get some good exposure, The only different thing is the product or service you are selling and off course if i do the real estate course it will give me a good insight. Over the last few weeks i have been spending alot of time with a mate who owns a real estate agency, but i think its good to get advice or people you dont know.

    thanks for the advice oh quick question how well do the people who work at major shopping centers owners earn!!! lol
