Can a real estate agent of broker please help me answer these questions?
I am a college student and need to interview a real estate agent for a class. If anyone could please answer these questions in detail I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks
How long have you been involved in the real estate field?
What types of property do you sell?
How many properties do you sell a year?
What is the most awarding part of the job?
What is the most difficult part of the job?
What was one of your most difficult closings and why?
Have you encountered any unethical real estate agent, buyer, or seller? What was the situation? What was the final outcome?
What advise would you give someone who may be contemplating entering the field?

Residential property.
as many as I can.
Spending time with people helping solve their problems
watching people ignore my advice
I have a ton of stories. I have had two closings fall thru after everyone signed at the closing table! But I think the worst is when people think they know better than me and then get mad that someone didn’t honor what they said.
Yes- that happens a lot. It seems to often come back a bite them. Buyers and sellers that are that way seem to be suckers for cone men them selves- the con men make the buyer/seller think they are taking advantage of someone then- whoops they get taken themselves instead.
Agents that are that way also often end up going broke or jail. At least that is what I have seen.
Have your head on straight. Get a few great mentors. Always be honest even when (especially when) you are sure you will never get caught. glenn
