This course will provide the learner with a guide to what it takes to run a successful real estate firm. Opening a real estate business is not a decision that should be taken lightly. A real estate salesperson understands the real estate market, how to list and sell, and how to take care of customers and clients. These skills will be invaluable in running ones own company. There will be many problems that will arise that require knowledge of the workings of the real estate market. This knowledge of the real estate market alone will not be enough to be successful in running a real estate company. Additional skills are required for and in preparation of opening day. This course will show the learner how to prepare for that day.
