Asked by Ms. Melissa Chan
Hi, I'm a NUS Real Estate undergraduate looking at becoming an agent upon graduation. I have not yet graduated, but am interested in kickstarting my career before graduation. I have looked around online at the various agencies, and even spoke to DTZ, but I find Huttons to be most suitable so far.
I understand that in order to join Huttons, I must pay 1)entry fees for their compulsory training programmes of about $400, and 2) license fee to CEA (same as other agencies). I also understand that if I were to start off with projects I may not get commission for the first six months.
So this is what I would like to know:
Firstly, what are the things I can do now to kickstart my career while studying my final year in university, and
Secondly, how much would I need to save up in order to survive (transportation, food, and basic grooming such as work clothes) the first few months without income? How much is the average expenses for a Real Estate agent on a monthly basis?
