What are the biggest misconceptions about real
estate agents?

•  
• There are plenty of misconceptions existing
  today regarding real estate agents. Many people
  believe that the job of a real estate agent is
  easy. This is however a great misconception. In
  order to do the job of a real estate agent, a
  person has to possess strong interpersonal
  skills. They have to travel a lot to meet the
  various needs of the clients. The agents will
  also have to take care of all the paper works
  related to the transfer of ownership in case of a
  property sale and the lease agreement in case of
  a rental property. All the jobs require great
  skills because the minutest details regarding the
  properties are also of immense importance.

• Quite a lot of people believe that real
  estate agents mislead their clients. This is not
  true at all. The agents will provide details
  regarding properties only after considering all
  the possible parameters. In todays world
  information related to anything and everything is
  easily available with the help of few keyboard
  strokes and mouse clicks if you have a computer.
  There is a good amount of competition too in
  field of real estate agents. Hence, in order to
  do well at work, the information provided to the
  clients will be verified to be true by every
  agent. Hence, the agents will never mislead the
  clients.

• Some of the clients think that the agents
  just blabber about things that they are not fully
  aware of. In reality, agents become eligible for
  the job only after going through a series of
  training sessions and exams. A real estate agent
  will get the license only upon completion of the
  real estate sales training. The training is
  conducted by a CEA approved RES course provider.
  This course will make sure that the rules and
  regulations related to the industry are
  understood by the candidates. After this process
  an exam for RES in Singapore is conducted by the
  CEA and only upon passing this will the candidate
  acquires a license. All this will definitely make
  an agent knowledgeable about his or her job. All
  the things that the real estate agents talk
  regarding the properties to a client are hence
  not just a blabber. The licensed agents working
  for reputed real estate agencies will provide you
  only with factual information.
