Real Estate Jobs in Australia

Real estate agents arrange the conduct of real estate transactions such as sales and leasing, as well as assisting buyers to find suitable properties, on behalf of a licensed real estate agent. They typically provide property owners with an estimate of the market value of their property and then once a price has been agreed on, they organise to market the property, planning open homes and viewings with interested parties. They need to be prepared to answer questions from potential buyers on the property and its key features, the surrounding area and any issues with the property.
Real estate agents are mostly employed in rental, hiring and real estate services, safety and construction and public administration. The most common level of education for Australian real estate sales agents is a Certificate III or IV and the average amount of hours worked per week is 43.7.
