Being a real estate agent comes with many perks, such as independence and time flexibility. The downside is that they should expect to work on weekends, holidays, and outside normal office working hours. Property agents will also travel a lot to meet their clients.

Mastering trivial things such as taking nice pictures of properties would be helpful to stand out. The process can be complicated by clients' personal issues and disagreements with their family members. Good communication and active listening skills to resolve such issues are highly valuable in this role.

Freelance real estate agents have the potential to earn a substantial income, which is largely contingent on their skills, commitment, and the prevailing real estate market conditions. Freelancers typically receive commissions from property transactions. Successful freelance agents often dedicate lots of time and effort to cultivate a robust client network, staying on top of market trends, and delivering exceptional service to their clients.

Applicants must be at least 21 years old and hold a minimum of four GCE 'O' Level passes or an equivalent qualification. Additionally, they should have successfully passed an industry examination, such as the Real Estate Salesperson or an equivalent exam.

This would depend solely on how real estate agents want to work. Freelancers typically offer a personalised service. While some clients appreciate this setup, others prefer to engage with an agency that can offer access to multiple skilled professionals through a single point of contact.
