Real estate agents are professionals who help people buy, sell, or rent properties. They have knowledge of the local housing market and assist clients in finding suitable homes or investment properties. Agents often provide valuable advice on pricing, marketing, and negotiating deals. To become a real estate agent, individuals typically need to complete specific training and obtain a license. They may work independently or as part of a real estate agency. Agents often use various tools and platforms, including multiple listing services (MLS), to showcase properties and connect with potential buyers or sellers.
