Before we tell you why getting an REA license is a good career option, here’s a brief description of what an REA is to those who are unfamiliar.

In order to become a Real Estate Agent (REA), one must first complete their Diploma in Estate Agency – gaining certification from the BOVAEP. The BOVAEP is a government arm that oversees regulation and so much more pertaining to property management.

Why should I get an REA license?

• Being an REA allows you to have flexible timing for work and it doesn’t tie you down to a 9am - 5pm schedule. Since you are in charge of your work hours, you can even choose to work during the evenings or weekends.

• An REA can also have up to 50 RENs working underneath them, getting a commission from each sale that is made from an REN that is attached to their agency. This makes for a very handsome return in profit and is a great form of passive income.

• REAs have the privilege of being their own boss while making large amounts of money in the process.

The market is in need of more REAs

• The current property market is growing steadily, and it needs more REAs and negotiators to keep pace with it. It is a market that is highly-active because of how in-demand property is on a daily basis, but a market that requires more REAs – making it the best time for you to consider this as a career option.

• There is no retirement age either, making this a very attractive option for those who want to have a strong income while working with freedom and time flexibility. Fresh graduates who have just gotten their SPM results often view this as the perfect career option, as a Diploma in Estate Agency can jumpstart their new career very quickly, and very profitably.
