10 Cities for making a real estate career in 2019

10 Cities for making a real estate career in 2019

Real estate business differs from one city to another. Every market has its own hot time, and if in one city, it can be easier to build your career in this industry, another city or town can be a real hell for new and even experienced real estate agents.

 How to choose a city to work as a realtor in?

When you decide to begin a real estate career and want to achieve success in it, it is very important to choose the right city for a start. Every city has its own market but it is preferable to choose the area you are knowledgeable about. Otherwise, you will have to spend weeks trying to understand the local area. For example, if you live in Las Vegas, and have done for several years and fully understand it’s layout, nightlife, good neighbourhoods, and whatnot, you will find it much easier to help Las Vegas home buyers with their purchases, rather than choosing a place you know nothing about and having limited knowledge.

Moreover, there are cities which are more advantageous for building a career in real estate and ones where it is impossible even to earn your living since the percentage of sales and rent is incredibly low. SmartAsset’s platform has conducted a study to understand which cities are the best ones for building a career in real estate.

American cities according to four factors including:

Home turnover rate (the percentage of homes sold for one year);

Annual changes in the median sale price;

Competition (number of homes sold per every agent);
 

Median compensation received by a real estate agent. Experts also advise considering several more factors when you select a city to work in. Bigger metropolises which attract employees are great if you specialize in rent. The consideration of the moving statistics will help to understand the trends where people relocate most often – these cities will also have more property sales and rents. However, it is important to remember that legislation also impacts estate sales too since more business-friendly cities attract a bigger percentage of investment too. Rating of the best cities The results of the study mentioned above are quite predictable. These are cities with a quite extensive job market as well as major tech centers. Some of the leaders are places where the cost of living is more affordable, while the others are ranked the highest in net migration. Having conducted a study with the analysis of four different factors mentioned above, the researchers suggested the following rating.
