Osoba koja će u budućnosti postati ozbiljan agent mora biti ponajprije komunikativna i susretljiva / The person that<br />
plans on becoming a serious agent must, first of all, be a communicative and sociables<br />
ated from high school at least, and who have passed<br />
<strong>the</strong> professional exam that is given by <strong>the</strong> Chamber of<br />
Economics; also, one agent won’t be allowed to work for<br />
two agencies at <strong>the</strong> same time without an agreement<br />
between <strong>the</strong>ir owners. That implies that education will<br />
become a necessity, and being a <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong> agency will<br />
become a true profession.<br />
An Agent’s Profile<br />
An agent that negotiates <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong> deals must possess<br />
certain tendencies and characteristics to begin with in<br />
order to even start working in this business. Negotiating<br />
<strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong> deals is a very complex and demanding job<br />
that, regardless of <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> training programme,<br />
can’t be done by just about anybody, at least successfully<br />
and professionally. The person that plans on becoming<br />
a serious agent must, first of all, be a communicative<br />
and sociable person, with good knowledge of foreign<br />
languages, team work and cooperation, and must be<br />
very familiar with at least <strong>the</strong> local area. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore,<br />
<strong>the</strong> agent must be a serious and responsible person that<br />
will easily communicate with buyers and sellers, but at<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time be unassuming, reliable and, very importantly,<br />
convincing. This is not an easy job because <strong>the</strong><br />
agents always have to be in a good mood and have<br />
smiles on <strong>the</strong>ir faces, while <strong>the</strong> wishes of <strong>the</strong> <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong>’s<br />
sellers and buyers must always come first. Business deals<br />
should be performed with agility and responsibility, and<br />
42<br />
<strong>the</strong> agreed-upon details should be fulfilled in <strong>the</strong> shortest<br />
amount of time possible. Naturally, a large part of <strong>the</strong><br />
work is preformed by lawyers, but <strong>the</strong> agent is that person<br />
who makes sure that everything goes according to plan<br />
within an agreed period of time. A person that performs<br />
<strong>the</strong>se <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong> jobs must be curious and always willing<br />
to take on new challenges and education, because you<br />
must strive for perfection throughout your entire career.<br />
An agent also must always tell his clients <strong>the</strong> truth and<br />
warn <strong>the</strong>m about all existing problems. Although most of<br />
<strong>the</strong> agents negotiate purchases of residential houses and<br />
apartments, <strong>the</strong>re aren’t many of those who specialize<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves in selling certain types of <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong>, such as<br />
business premises or parcels. Every area requires specific<br />
expertise, and it is <strong>the</strong>refore necessary for <strong>the</strong> agent to<br />
be very familiar with his turf and to have knowledge of<br />
every tiny thing attached to a certain location – from <strong>the</strong><br />
proximity of various establishments to organizing public<br />
transport and <strong>the</strong> proximity of medical centres. Naturally,<br />
computer literacy and knowing your way around a computer<br />
are certainly important conditions to fulfil, considering<br />
that numerous contacts and <strong>real</strong> <strong>estate</strong>’s short presentations<br />
are often preformed over computers.<br />
Educating Yourself – How and Where?<br />
Those who have been in this business for years will tell you<br />
that no school degree or completed course can replace<br />
ten years of experience and working on <strong>the</strong> turf, which is
