There are many opportunities for those interested in pursuing a
career in the real estate industry. A career in real estate can be very
rewarding but, as with any career choice, your decision to pursue real
estate requires careful consideration.
The majority of realtors
in BC are selling real estate, managing properties, or providing trading
services. That being said, real estate offers a wide variety of
specialties from residential and/or commercial sales to property and
strata management, investment real estate to land development,
counselling and research to mortgage financing and appraisals.
