Fitting Clients Needs
Real estate brokers and sales agents have a thorough knowledge of the real estate market in their community. They know which neighborhoods will best fit clients needs and budgets. They are familiar with local zoning and tax laws and know where to obtain financing.


Real estate agents usually are independent sales workers who provide their services to  licensed real estate brokers on a contract basis. In return, the broker pays the agent a portion of the commission earned from the agent's sale of the property.


There is more to an agent or broker's job than making sales. They must have properties to sell. Consequently, they spend a significant amount of time obtaining and listing owner agreements to place properties for sale with the firm. When listing a property for sale, agents and brokers compare the listed property with similar properties that have recently sold to determine its competitive market price.


Most real estate brokers and sales agents sell residential property. A small number, usually employed in large or specialized firms sell commercial, industrial, agricultural, or other types of real estate. Every specialty requires knowledge of that particular type of property and clientele. Selling or leasing business property requires an understanding of leasing practices, business trends, and location needs. Agents who sell or lease industrial properties must know about the region's transportation, utilities, and labor supply.

Agents may meet several times with prospective buyers to discuss and visit available properties. Agents identify and emphasize the most pertinent selling points. To a young family looking for a house, they may emphasize the convenient floor plan, the area's low crime rate, and the proximity to shopping centers. To a potential investor, they may point out the tax advantages of owning a rental property and the ease of finding a renter.
