Frequently Asked Questions

Is a real estate career right for me?

Are you motivated, passionate, and highly organised? Do you love to hustle and meet new people? Could you sell dust to a sawmill? Then yes! The real estate industry always needs new, enthusiastic people that are hungry to build a successful business.

As with everything, there’s always a risk. Real estate provides a great opportunity for a flexible, successful career, but you need to be a self-starter, and willing to put in the effort (especially when you’re establishing yourself in the industry). Basically, if you work hard and push yourself outside of your comfort zone, you’ll reap the rewards.

Most commonly, you’ll encounter residential real estate (family homes, apartments, and townhouses), commercial (office buildings and shopping centres), industrial (factories, plants, and warehouses), and land (property without a building). There’s also property management, which can be a great option for people who want to work in property, but don’t necessarily want to be selling. At Ray White Austar, our main business is residential, commercial, and property management.

There are lots of pros! Along with the freedom and flexibility to run your own business and manage your own schedule, you get the support of an established, well-known brand behind you. You dictate how hard your work and therefore your earning potential, and many people forge extremely successful real estate careers.

However, there will be agents with many more years of experience, and it can take a while for your target market to get to know and trust you. If you don’t put in the effort and hard work, you might struggle to establish yourself in the industry. It’s important you have the backing of a supportive, well-known brand behind you, and access to great systems and technology that will help you to hit the ground running.
