YOUR CAREER IN REAL ESTATE
Whether you're leaving school, changing careers or re-entering the work force, you'll find exciting and diverse career opportunities in real estate!
   
To work as a real estate agent you must be over 16 years of age and you’ll need to obtain a Certificate of Registration from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).

A requirement of the Certificate of Registration is the completion of the
Course in Property Practice with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) such as the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW). Once this is completed you can apply for a Certificate of Registration from the OFT which, when issued, allows you to work in the real estate industry. 
    
  If you are after a more formalised apprenticeship program in real estate then you should check out traineeships.

Future directions


There’s so much more to real estate than just buying and selling houses. So where do you want your career to take you?

These are just some of the options available:
  • Property sales
  • Property management
  • Auctioneering
  • Strata management
  • Commercial/ Industrial (sales, property management)
  • Business agency
  • Buyers agency
  • Valuation
  • Agency management
  • Corporate support
  • Rural specialists
  • The next step

    After you’ve gained some experience in real estate, you may want to take your career to the next level by obtaining a licence.

    As a licensed real estate agent you can manage your own agency and take greater responsibility in the marketing, management and sale of property.

    To get your licence you need to undertake a Licensing Course. REINSW Education & Training Unit runs licensing courses throughout the year and through eLearning.
