问题 1 Real estate agents are employed by real estate agencies that sell or rent property or manage, appraise, or develop real estate. Most real estate agents sell private homes. Some specialize in commercial property, such as apartment buildings, stores, and office buildings. Others specialize in undeveloped land sites for commercial or residential use. Real estate agents spend a great deal of time on the telephone, locating property for sale and negotiating with clients and property owners. They spend time in the field, where they look for and investigate new properties and show real estate to prospective buyers.
2 In any sale, an agent must negotiate with both the seller and the buyer. Many sellers begin by asking more for their property than buyers are willing to pay for it. The agent must persuade the seller to set a realistic price. However, most of the agent’s effort focuses on the buyer. The agent tries to learn what will motivate the buyer to make a purchase. The agent has to convince the buyer that the property suits his needs and is a good buy. Buyers generally offer less for a property than the seller asks. The agent helps negotiate the final price and may help the buyer arrange a bank loan. The agent is generally present at the closing, when the final contract of a sale is signed.
