What this job is
A real estate agent acts as the go-between for property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Core work includes appraising properties, listing them for sale or rent, conducting inspections, negotiating offers, and managing the paperwork that moves a deal to settlement. Agents may specialise in residential sales, commercial leasing, property management, or rural and rural-lifestyle properties. The role sits inside a licensed agency, and agents must hold their own state-issued licence or registration to operate legally.
