Albeniz Turbocharged June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 Not joking. I am thinking of taking the RES course and exam for the fun of it, and also for the sake of general knowledge. Not intending to be affiliated to any housing agencies. Is there any expiry to to the certification obtained? Thinking of keeping the RES certificate as a standby just like having taxi licence as a backup, in case I am forced to go through a career change a few years later.

CEA reply: Please note that the RES course attendance certificate is valid for 2 years from date of attendance and the RES exam certificate is valid for 2 years from date of exam. You will need to apply within 2 years of the validity of the exam certificate to be a salesperson. Thank you. Regards, Yasmeen Bibi (Ms), CEA To put it simply, you are supposed to register as a salesperson within 2 yrs after obtaining ur cert. If not, your cert will be deem as void and you will have to retake if you do want to be a salesperson again after the 2yrs period. But if you do register as a salesperson after obtaining your cert, there's also requirements to met yearly to qualify for annual renewal of license. Requirements such as minimum 3 deals per yr and accumulating minimum CPD hrs. Overall, I would still say its a lucrative business of your own if you follow the right leader.

charminglad 1st Gear January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 To be a property agent, you need to set aside $5000. $1.1k for RES and examination. $900 for registering into your estate agent and taking a compulsory QPPC course and RC course. Your 1st $1000 spent on marketing and $2000 to survive before you collect your first commission as commission are usually given out within 3 months from closing or for overseas project it might take up to 6 months. Good luck to you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you! actually, more prudent to set aside 12 - 18 months of expenses it is a risk to take, but rewards quite good make 300k to 500k if you are hardworking & willing to learn and can also have control over your own timing PM me if you wish to know a good team to join that can help you really succeed (not just making an average $10k a mth type) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring 2 clients to seminar and collect $21k comm after that 3-500k? average 10k? wu ya boh? maybe i'm just a frog in the well. but most prop agents i know of, not doing so well leh. or maybe just hiding their wealth to not make me feel so bad. lol. there are around 30k agents in SG most are either clueless, no strategy or part timers my figures are based on those that i know - many are intelligent and willing to work hard would u stand at the bus interchange and give out flyers if you are a former scholar? If so, $10k is prob what u will make in the worst month Good months can be 6 figures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
