Thinking about a future in real estate? Whether you’re drawn to property, enjoy working with people, or thrive in fast-paced environments, PRD Wagga’s recent Real Estate Careers Night offered valuable insights into where a career in the industry can take you.
For those who couldn’t make it, here’s a recap of what you missed — and how you can still take the next step.
Exploring the World of Real Estate
Attendees gained a behind-the-scenes look at the diverse fields within real estate, spanning residential, commercial, industrial, strata management, rural, and auctioneering. Each area offers unique pathways, skills, and day-to-day experiences, giving participants a broad understanding of the many directions their career could take.
Career Pathways and Growth Opportunities
The night highlighted the wide range of roles available across the industry, including:
-
Property Management: Starting in admin or leasing and progressing through roles like Property Officer, Business Development Manager, and Department Head.
-
Sales: From administration and assistant roles to becoming a Sales Associate, Buyers’ Agent, or Auctioneer.
-
Administration & Support: Covering vital behind-the-scenes roles in reception, marketing, accounts, and office coordination.
Attendees discovered that regardless of where you start, there’s always room to grow, develop, and specialise within the industry.
What It Takes to Succeed
Guest speakers shared the key traits of successful real estate professionals, emphasising qualities such as passion, communication, adaptability, punctuality, resilience, empathy, and a people-first mindset.
