Is a college degree important for commercial real estate?

Posted by admin
Randy L asked:


I am currently in college but i am finding that I am just aimlessly wondering around my college life, but I am very interested in the commercial real estate field. however I know that to get a brokers license it is not required to have a degree one just needs to have a certain amount of hours and past the needed tests. Although I do imagine with this brokerage firms might not hire someone because they do not have the degree of the four year college. I would like to get some insight if the commercial real estate brokers require or want a four year degree. any help would be great!

      I don’t know how many states this is true in but some require that you have a Bachelors in order to sell real estate.

      Just a thought. If you want to work with Commercial real estate, you would be in close contact with major Corporations (and most people there would have degrees themselves) and they would want to know they are in good hands and with someone who REALLY goes by the books and who knows what they are doing. It may be a good idea to stick with school if you can. It will pay off in the long run. At least you are in right now. STAY IN SCHOOL!

      The type of sales experience firm may hire new broker with no answer but it will want or accounting more than some other commercial business you to work for each the company the company the type of commercial brokerage fields experience.
      An example for licensure and how much relevent experience firm may not required for residential brokerages will most likely require you would.
