SYDNEY, Australia -- With generous government financial assistance being offered to students, there has never been a better time for potential real estate professionals to educate themselves, a spokesman from the company claims.

‘With government subsidies coming into effect now, you can get your license relatively cheaply, and it only takes a few days,’ he says, ‘It’s something to consider if you’re out of work or looking for a career change.’

REET offers a range of courses to prepare and educate aspiring real estate agents about what to expect when working in the industry. Students can choose to enrol in short three or four day courses (http://www.reet.net.au/our-courses/license-in-4-days) or longer ten day courses to gain their license and go on to look for work from there .

‘Our courses are designed to get people ready for everything that comes with being a real estate agent, including conducting auctions, going through the paperwork and working with the client.’

All signs suggest that property sales are going to increase over the next 12 months, and there will be a greater demand for real estate professionals going forward.

In the past, the success of the real estate market has had a great deal to do with consumer confidence. With Australia recovering from a slight recession (which came about due to poor conditions overseas), people are becoming more confident about buying up property.

According to a recent RP Data poll, lower interest rates have led to 8 in 10 people believing that now is a good time to buy property. According to the study, only 9% of people believe property prices will go down over the next year and economists are forecasting increased activity in the real estate market as a result.

REET’s courses are offered in Sydney, Parramatta and on the Central Coast and start at just $190. For more information about the services offered by the company or to enrol, visit www.reet.net.au or call (02) 8324 1407.
