Top reasons to consider a profession in real estate
Category News
"I love my job" is not something many people can say, at least not with sincerity. Work for most is just that - work. However, that's something that seems to be changing as employees across the globe resign from their unfulfilling jobs in search of something new, bold and exciting.
The question is: Could a career in real estate offer all that and more?
Berry Everitt, CEO of the Chas Everitt International property group, acknowledges that finding your calling is easier said than done, and that switching careers later in life is daunting to put it lightly. But Chas Everitt star employees, Ryan Kourie, Shane Shaw and Sam Van Tonder, are real-world examples showcasing the benefits of working in real estate and at Chas Everitt.
What is most valuable about working at Chas Everitt?
FLEXIBILITY
Whether it's about being home in time to tuck your kids in or having the wiggle room to fit in a mid-morning gym class, an increasing number of people are looking for more flexibility and a better work-life balance. That is, in fact, one of the main things that attracted strategic account and team integration specialist, Ryan Kourie, to the world of real estate as, "having a young family and kids, it's always been one of those things that has stood out, is that you've got that flexibility."
What's more is that the pandemic and onset of remote work has added to this flexibility, as many clients are now able to attend viewings and showings during the workday, in between meetings and tasks. This has changed the status quo of agents working late nights and weekends to accommodate clients' busy schedules.
TOGETHERNESS
Company culture is often cited as one of the most important things that job seekers look for in a new position. Despite its professional image, Chas Everitt fosters a culture deeply rooted in family values. For qualified property practitioner, Shane Shaw, that's one of the biggest perks of working in real estate as, "everyone's like a family. That's a very cool feeling to be around all day in the office environment."
Furthermore, having a reputable company behind you as an agent helps improve your reputation, increasing client trust and making your job easier.
GROWTH
A career in real estate is a perfect fit for ambitious workers who are constantly seeking new growth opportunities. Chas Everitt seamlessly demonstrates how companies can foster growth for employees. Sam Van Tonder, a qualified property practitioner, says it's thanks to Chas Everitt's training portals that she's been able to acquire the skills and confidence that have helped land her in the position she occupies today.
In addition, agents are also equipped with innovative tools and apps, which set them apart from the competition. With the required resources and know-how, agents have every opportunity to be successful in the industry.
It's clear that a career in real estate offers many benefits. In fact, we'd argue that it would be difficult to not find the above-mentioned points appealing. So, if you're in the market for a new opportunity why not consider it? Who knows it might be the perfect fit for you!
