Green My Job

With all the talk about green jobs and just the plain lack of jobs in the job market I thought I would do a few posts on how we can start creating our own futures.

Green Real Estate Jobs

Look into becoming a Real Estate agent. I know what you’re going to say. The real Estate market is the worst place to be right now. Well look at it this way, the Real Estate market will rebound and there has been a lot of agents that have gotten out of the game in the last few years. So why not be one of the agents that strikes it big when the market turns around. First you need to do some research of getting you Real Estate license in your state. You can find some great information at http://www.realestateswing.com/usa/real-estate-school .

1. Get your license there are a ton of schooling options available. You can even do it online. And it’s inexpensive as well as quick.

2. Start doing some research in your home town. Call around to some of the Real Estate companies and ask what it takes to work out of their office. Some charge desk fee’s while others require monthly goals to be meet.

3. Start your own blog as soon as possible taking about your local Real Estate. Wright posts about what you lean in school. This will eventually help you gain leads in the long term as well as show brokers your value when your finding a office to work out of. You can find free word press Real Estate Themes at: http://www.realestateswing.com/wordpress/ .

4. Start networking with friends and family. This can bring you a lot of work due to all the questions you’ll be getting about Real Estate.

Becoming a Real Estate Agent is truly a green job. Most your work is done on the computer and the resources required is minimal. Not to mention Eco friendly homes are selling like hot cakes right now.
