There
are many
different
areas of
the commercial
real estate
world that
you can
look into.
Some of
the options
include:
Leasing
Specialist
- Specializes
in representing
landlords
and/or tenants
in the transactions
of commercial
real estate
properties
for lease.
Sales Specialist
- Specializes
in representing
buyers and/or
sellers
in the sale
of commercial
real estate
properties.
Often, brokers
might specialize
in both
lease and
sale transactions.
Land Sales
Specialist
- Specializes
in vacant
land transactions.
Investor
Specialist
- Specializes
in investment
property
transactions.
There
are also
many career
possibilities
available
as a commercial
service
provider.
These individuals
might not
be involved
in commercial
real estate
transactions
directly,
but they
provide
important
services
that are
part of
the process:
Appraiser
- Is used
to determine
the value
of a commercial
property
based on
a variety
of factors.
Tenant Representative
- A broker
that specializes
in representing
the tenant
in a leasing
or subleasing
situation.
Commercial
Mortgage
Broker
- Finds suitable
mortgage
lenders
for your
commercial
endeavor
and handles
all of the
details
of the lending
situation.
Even
after you
are licensed,
you will
probably
want to
continue
on with
your education
on a part-time
basis. The
reason for
this is
twofold:
first, you
may want
to add other
certifications
to your
title or
join real
estate institutions
that require
additional
licensing.
These extra
credentials
will only
help you
in your
career.
The second
reason is
that you
will most
likely need
to renew
your license
from time
to time,
and generally
the best
way to do
this is
to take
a few additional
courses.
Again, the
terms of
renewal
will vary
widely depending
on your
state of
practice
as well
as your
specific
certification.
