What would you like to do when you grow up? Many children want to be a spaceman, or a milkman but every now and again a child will want to become work in Real Estate.
And why not. Everyone has to live somewhere and many people choose to buy a house rather than rent a house.
In some places like Canada being a realtor can be one of the best careers to focus on while at school.
Theresa Thomson a Squamish Realtor explains a few ways to get to being number one in real estate:
Step 1 - Language skills
The Real Estate Council of BC determined that English is the language used for real estate documents, education and communication in BC. Therefore, it’s important that you are able to demonstrate an understanding of written and spoken English.
Step 2 - Education
There are two courses you need to take to become licensed.
The first one is the Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course, a correspondence course offered through the University of British Columbia. This course is taken by everyone who wants to become licensed regardless of whether they want to specialize in residential or commercial real estate. It introduces all aspects of how the real estate profession works.
The second one is the Residential or Commercial Trading Services Applied Practice Course. This applied course provides you with practical training in either commercial or residential real estate and involves 30 hours of in-class instruction. It must be completed within six months of finishing the first course.
You will need to provide proof of registration of this course when you apply to the RECBC for your licence (in step 3).
Step 3 - Licensing
Have the brokerage you plan to work with sign your application for licensing. This brokerage must be a member of the real estate board in your area.
Send your signed application to the Real Estate Council of BC for licensing. Once the Council has approved your application you are a real estate agent, but not yet a REALTOR®.
Step 4 - Join a real estate board
The last step to becoming a REALTOR® is to join the real estate board in your area. For example, if you work in Pitt Meadows, you would join our board, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.
As a member of a real estate board, you also become a member of the BC Real Estate Association and the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Only members of CREA are entitled to call themselves REALTORS®.
