Sunny is correct in telling you that you need only get your RE license to start selling.  However, what Sunny failed to mention is that these companies (at least the successful ones) will want you to have at least bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Accounting or Economics.  Most of them will want you to have your real estate brokers’ license as well.\nAlso, please don’t be fooled by Sunny’s flippant comments about just taking the classes and getting started.  I’m not saying you can’t do well at it, I’m saying it takes a lot of VERY HARD WORK to make your self successful at it.  I know several commercial brokers, and a few successful ones, and the ones that are successful don’t half ass it, they work 60-70 hrs a week.  The payoff for these few is Huge, I’m talking high six and sometimes seven figure incomes but you have to want it, and you have to work for it!\nI hope I have given you a little bit better insight into the world of commercial real estate.  \nI truly wish you the best!

Monica V, will you please stop copy and pasting that, it's really annoying!\n\nSorry, right now to answer your question, I think the best thing for you to do would be to write to the London construction companies, I'm not sure, but I think a lot of the offices are located on Canary Wharf. Contact companies that you think you would like to work for, tell them what experience you have and try to sell yourself to them. Good luck with that. :)

Well, A lot of people I know is in real estate. To get into it you have a take a few courses and apply for you rliscence, which I assumed you did. The best thing is to first apply to a larger company, like Re/Max or Century 21, or even Coldwell Banker. From there, you can llok for clients through friends and family and will make a client base. But an easier way is to get the name of developers in your area, ones that may open a whole subdivision of homes, and contact them and try to make them offer they couldn't refuse. Although it may seem like your not getting enough, this will lead to large exposure!!! From exposure you get....more clients. Also, try to go into a smaller area. Starting off in Toronto or a big city like that could be hard to compete with exisiting. If you are close to a smaller city or town, that would be the best place to start! Good luck on all you do and with hard work you will succeed.:)

Your license needs to be held by a brokerage in order to list properties. You need to get hired by a real estate agency.

You could go to a traditional school for your real estate school needs, or you could try what I did and do it all online.  Online is a great way to go, you can get through the required material much faster than you would sitting in a class room.  I took classes thru United Educational Services and Allied Schools (both are licensed by the state of CA).  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Allied.  Their materials are much better and they have great customer service if you run into any problems.\nGood luck with your real estate stuff.

Any sales position has pretty high turnover.  Go on monster.com or any other job service, Craigslist, or just open the newspaper.  There are plenty of people advertising.  Stick to those with ads, because there are plenty of them, and also because these firms tend to recruit fresh people to train.  You're not going to make much at first. Also, it's helpful to have decent knowledge of the real estate and loan markets, and since you'll be working with a lot of realtors anyway, get to know a few. Realtors and loan officers work together very closely and share a lot of marketing efforts

ask the property manager of the commercial place.  they will usually accomodate you, and are eager to do it since some of the people will be spending money.

I don't know how old you are or how long you were in Real Estate which would make a difference. Are you the type of person that jumps from one job to another because you get bored easily?\n\nRead your last sentence again. I don't think you know what your passion is yet. You say "encourage me". If being a police officer was your true passion no one could discourage you. OR encourage you to go in to a "business opportunity". \n\nWhat is your personal life? Are you alone, married, kids? These are considerations too. I thing you should think this out further. If you don't have any other responsibilities apply for the police academy and see what happens.\n\nBelieve me, you are in a career a long time and a large portion of your life, so it had better be your passion. Or you will will be miserable. It's a shame when you get out of bed in the morning and you dread going to work............Think this over and good luck to you on your decision.......

You need to obtain a state real estate license.

A passion for business is exactly what's necessary to succeed in sales! Seriously, have you ever thought of selling home improvement products? You do handyman work so you already have a good concept of the principles.\n\nThere's a range of possibilities you might get excited to present: windows & doors, gutters, landscaping, pools, etc. And nearly every one of these companies will want a guy who is "mature" but willing to learn and is driven. \n\nAre you driven? Are you okay with doing follow up, working all kinds of hours, and beating out the competition? \n\nSounds like you'd be a good fit. Really, try sales. Get yourself a small base salary plus commission job. Men can be in sales til they're 70. People see you as experienced and knowledgeble.\nBe glad you're a man.:)\n\nTake care!

I think training outside of college is a GREAT idea. if you have an entreprenurial spirit/brain, you can go far in industries that do not require college degrees.\n\nIt takes about 4 months (minimum) to get your real estate license. It takes some money to get the training and take the licensing test. And then, plan for at least 6 months of NO SALES, while you get a feel for the market and find clientele. It is important to find a real estate company that will support you, train you and show you the ropes. This may be difficult depending on your location.\n\nReno, NV has a great real estate company that does FANTASTIC training: Remcor Real Estate (remcor.com).\n\nIf you want to go into a field that doesn't require college, and will bring in money a bit faster than real estate, with a lot less work--look into lending and selling investment vehicles. World Financial Group is a national company that probably has an office near you (wfg-online.com). It takes some money to get started here, too, as the financial industry requires background checks and licensing/testing. You can get into lending very quickly, and with minimal expense. Let your mortgages cover the cost of getting licensed in other areas.\n\nIf you're in the lending/financial industry, you will be able to invest in real estate for yourself!\n\nBest of luck! Stay strong! And only take advice from people who are doing what you want to be doing/have what you want to have!

Do a Yahoo/Google search for "commercial real estate terms" and you will get lots of sites.\n\nIf you want to check out commercial property listing go to www.loopnet.com. You can become a basic member for free and preview properties. My wife is a commercial realtor and this is the site they use to list their properties.\n\nGood Luck
