Hello all. The question says it all. I never had an interview in a real estate agency before. Could anyone give me advice on how to go about in interviews conducted by real estate agencies?

I worked as a receptionist for a real estate agency once and it sucked. It’s basically the same as any other receptionist depending on what they want you to do. Real Estate companies are always trying to kiss ass so you will probably be doing a lot of that. Just dress to impress for the interview. Real Estate is pretty cut throat throat so good luck.

I worked temporarily for 2 weeks as a receptionist at a real estate company. They expected me to already know all the basics of being a receptionist (answering phones, greeting people, mail, copies, etc.) They also coached me and expected me to be more upbeat, super friendly, courteous, quick learner, and very professional and very attentive to the clients who came in. The clients are basically the customers and must be treated like royalty. I didn’t know anything about real estate but they said they didn’t mind since I was only going to be there for 2 weeks. But they do expect you to know something about real estate transactions. Plus they also wanted extremely professional dress and above all, be super friendly and very very confident. Navajo Spirit

i used to work as a receptionist but i’ve moved up to customer service. basically they need someone with good phone manners, a pleasing personality (you’re the first person clients talk to when they visit your office), and a solid knowledge of MS Office and basic correspondence (sometimes you send out info to the rest of the company and respond to emails from other agencies). good grooming is important.
the job is kind of monotonous, depending on how big the company is. fax, email, phone - that’s basically what you’ll be doing most of the time. but the good thing is, real estate is a fast-paced industry and there are lots of opportunities once you’ve got the experience. you can go into sales, business development, client services, maybe even manage a team of salepeople one day. xtra0

If your are a customer oriented that you got it. If you are really good at how to handles the phone and being very polite you got it. Talking to customer in real Estate mean a lot of money for them and you should be very nice to them and keep everything confidential and provide their msg. on time and so on. Jaime Rose
