Step one:

If you do not currently have a position in a real estate office you need to find one, go to our careers page to look at current vacancies. Once you are employed or engaged by a licensed real estate company, you can earn while you learn on the job.

Step two:

Talk to REAL ITO or your manager about on job training if you are currently in the industry you may be looking at up-skilling. If you are new you need to complete your salesperson’s national certificate for licensing. You must hold a salespersons licence to negotiate or complete a sale and purchase agreement for real estate or to perform any work that leads to a transaction or could be considered agency work.

Step three:

Now you need to decide what qualifications you would like to study. Talk to your branch manager or agent about supporting you through this training and what is best for you to up-skill yourself or to get started in real estate.

Step four:

Step five:

Once you have been assessed competent in your qualification, the next step is to gain your licence. Click here to take a look at what you need to do to get your licence

Step six:

You are almost there, if you are new to the industry you must now wait for six months before you can negotiate or complete a sale and purchase agreement. You can work in a real estate office and carry out all other work such as appraisals, open homes listing, etc, but the six month period must pass before you can negotiate or complete the sale and purchase agreement. Different offices manage this step down period in various ways, however it is an important legal requirement that no negotiation or drafting of the sale and purchase is carried out by a person with less than six months experience.

If you need some help deciding which workplace training programme is best for you or would like to talk to us you can ring REAL ITO on 09 353 2257 and we will be happy to give you some advice.
