Real Estate as a career

Are there any Ontario real estate agents on the pets.ca forum? I am registering for my first course and would ideally like to find a forum for RE agents, but so far have found one for the US but not one for Canada. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. Also, if anyone is an agent and doesnt mind answering a few questiosn that would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks,

In another life.....a long time ago....I took the 3 parts (I think) at a community college evening school for something to do to get out of the house. I never did do anything with it, but the test wasn't that bad if I remember correctly. You did have to be hired by a broker before the real estate board for your province would issue an agent's license, in effect, you could nothing unless you were covered by a broker.
I would suggest looking into some of the offices in your area and speaking with brokers who may be interested in taking you on after completion of your required courses. He/she would very likely be able to recommend some sites where you could find additional information for the novice.

Good luck to you.

Thank you! I have registered for the first course and will start on Monday. I am from Toronto so we have a lot of brokerages here, so I will get in touch with them.

I am not an agent, but will put in a few cents worth. My friend is an agent and we let her sell my mother's house, since she was put in a home. I thought I would give a friend the listing. She disappointed us, as she did not fight for a better price. I thought that since it was our first listing with her, she would work in our favor (?) She was only after a quick buck. I will not recommend her to anyone, she loses out!! It is apparently a "dog eat dog" industry, so be aware!
