Real estate agents work on behalf of property owners and earn a commission, or percentage, of the sale
or rental of property. Agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property as well as manage,
appraise, or develop real estate. Some agencies combine their real estate business with an insurance agency or
law practice. Most real estate agents sell private homes. Some specialize in commercial property such as
factories, apartment buildings, stores and office buildings. Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for
commercial or residential use or go into agricultural real estate.
Real estate agents work from a file of listings of property that is for sale or rent. A listing is an
agreement, usually in the form of a contract, between the owners of the property and the agent. The owners
agree to pay the agent a percentage of the selling price. Real estate agents obtain new listings for their agency
by locating property owners interested in selling. For example, they may call home owners who are trying to
visit newly listed properties so that they can familiarize themselves with the features of the property before
bringing prospective buyers to see it.
In any sale, the agents have to negotiate with both the seller and the buyers. Many sellers begin by
asking more for their property than buyers are willing to pay for it. Agents must be able to convince sellers to
set a realistic price. Most of the agents’ efforts focus on the buyers, however. Agents try to learn what will
motivate the buyer to make a purchase. Agents must be able to convince them that the property suits their
needs and is a good buy. Buyers generally offer less for a property than the seller asks. Agents help to
negotiate the final price. They usually help buyers arrange bank loans and are generally present at closings,
