Is a career in real estate right for you? Murchie Real Estate, LLC is looking for qualified, motivated, and professional individuals to join our team. Whether you are an experienced real estate professional or starting a career in real estate, we would love to meet you.
COmmissions
Real estate is a commission based industry. This means you are paid when you sell a home. Depending on your experience, it may take time before you build a sustainable real estate portfolio; however, we are here to help you at every step of the way.
Independent Contractor
One of the greatest advantages of working in the real estate industry is the flexibility it provides. You set your own schedule. As for compensation, the amount of money you earn is related to the amount of time you devote to building your business. So, it is important to dedicate the proper amount of time to building your real estate business.
Licensing Requirements
A licensed salesperson must meet the following requirements:
- Be 18 years or older;
- Never have been convicted of a felony, or a sex offense or sexual violent offense;
- Be authorized to legally work in the United States;
- Successfully complete a 75-hour course that has been approved by the NYS Department of State;
- Pass the NYS licensing examination;
- Pay the required license fee; and
- Have a broker sponsor your license.
Education Requirements
To renew your license, you must complete 22.5 hours of continuing education every two years. Furthermore, the 22.5 hours must contain at least 3 hours on fair housing, discrimination, or both in the sale or rental of real property. Continuing education can be accomplished by attending courses in a classroom or online.
getting started
Your first financial investment will be when you enroll in a licensing course. Depending on which course you choose, the cost can be anywhere between $300 and $500. You will then be responsible for paying the state exam and license fees. Finally, there are costs to join the local real estate association and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). These initial costs may cause some concern, but one or two home sales each year will likely cover your membership and licensing fees.
At Murchie Real Estate, LLC, we are ready to partner with you to make your real estate dreams a reality. So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call and let's talk about you joining our team.
