Changes in Real Estate Jobs
In Business Week’s blog today, Chris Palmeri discusses the boom in real estate jobs, and also the changing nature of the real estate job market. Naturally, as the industries business models and participants change, their is likely to be a similar change in what kinds of jobs will be available. So what kind of jobs will there be more of in the future?
This is a difficult question to answer, since it still remains to be seen what business models will stand the test of time, but it certainly seems to me that discount real estate agencies are on the rise. Also, since working with home seller’s is traditionally the more profitable side of the real estate transaction, I wouldn’t be surprised if the biggest losers are the agents who have been listing houses for sale with excessively large commissions.

I have been hearing so much about this housing boom bubble and how it will burst. I will tell you one thing that I have sure noticed. A lot of people are getting thier real estate licenses. Our website The Real Estate License Professor helps future realtors realize thier career goals and I tell you we have helped a lot of these people lately. I am not sure if this will affect supply or demand having so many “middle men” selling but it sure is a sign that real estate is hot. I hope it stays that way.

Some people in the real estate industry are experiencing the housing bubble. Some feel a normal and steady stability. Thus, some believe that
career opportunities in the real estate is slowing while others believe that it’s still hot to be in the housing business. In california, it seems that everyone wishes to be granted a license to be a realtor despite of the real estate bubble.
