Answer 1

research generally means YOU do the work-NOT ask others to do it for you

Answer 2

1. If they wait until the last minute their annual salary on the average is $-2,908.00. That's negative income. That's a really bad year.
2. R.E. agents are licensed in the state in which they practice.
3. Most agents take classes to attain a transcript followed by a state mandated exam to become agents.
4. After becoming licensed, they are independent contractors, self employed and make money usually only when hired by a client to sell a home or assist in the purchase of a home.
5. R.E. agents make money by listing homes for sale and selling those homes to ready, willing and able buyers.
6. The sky is the limit on how much an agent can make, however 1% of all R.E. agents make 90% of the money to be made in Real Estate. Income depends on self determination, the current market, living in a hot market, professionalism, completing assignments without procrastination and the all important referrals. (Popularity and reputation are EVERYTHING to Real Estate agents)
7. R.E. agents have a dirty job some days but also a very luxurious beautiful job on other days.
8. You can find out lots more at the National Association of REALTORS website. (www.realtor.org)

Real estate agents help clients buy and sell property. They advertise a client's property for them and solicit buyers. They also show buyers homes and help them choose a place to live. They help them fill out offers and sales contracts and help to ensure that a sale closes, or sells, on time.There are many real estate companies including, Windermere, Remax, Prudential, Century 21, Coldwell Banker just to name a few. Most real estate agents belong to a National membership of "Realtors." Only agents that belong to the group can call themselves Realtors. Real estate agents do not need to go tro college but they must take a self-study program and pass a state and national certification exam along with taking continuing education classes to keep their license current. The overhead for a real estate agent can cost anywhere from $2,000 or more a year.The overhead includes desk fees, advertising, membership and insurance fees as well as fees to belong to their local regional multiple listing service. That is where realtors get their lock boxes and keys to get into homes that they show. They also use the multiple listing service to advertise the homes they are selling for people along with magazines, television and the newspaper. Real estate agents do not have a salary and are soley based on commissions. The standard commission is 6% of the purchase price of a home which the seller pays. 3.3% usually goes to the listing agent and 2.7% usually goes to the buyers agent because they usually don't have as much work to do although that depends and the rate is variable. I don't know what else to add to this so I hope I didn't bore you with too many details. Good luck with your assignment.
