* A sound financial backing too can help his business thrive in this fierce competition. At the negotiating table, while bargaining, do not hang on to the upward price. Unlike in stock and shares investment arena, you don’t have enough instruments in real estate to spread your risks and investment.6. An agent and a broker have different roles in real estate business. Thus, character traits are equally as important as one’s academic background. Another common problem both for brokers as well as sellers is delayed or non-receipt of payments. This often is the case with freshers than with seasoned investors. The services of the agent would help in the analysis of market and listing the property. Every one of you, like I, must have thought real estate is where quick money is. Slight reduction will see the deal through. They should also know perfectly their local neighborhoods. Agents should have a pleasant personality, present a neat appearance, should have the details on his finger tips and a good memory for names, faces and business particulars. Misfired wrong judgments. The loss incurred by under pricing would have helped in paying off the agent’s commission. A slight mistake in prediction or a change in the legislation concerning real estate property or tourism or industry sector has the potential to turn over the whole real estate economy on its head resulting in wiping out of your capital too. A week’s or a month’s prevailing price may not hold true for the coming days. They will have to meet prospective buyers very often
