The path to becoming a property sales advisor is varied. There are no set qualifications for admittance, although you may take a college course, sign up for an apprenticeship, receive on-the-job training, or submit an application to an employer.

To determine which path is best for you, investigate these options. Even though a few of these possibilities have educational prerequisites, many companies are more interested in applicants who are passionate, open to learning, and obedient.

To work on a construction site, you might need a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card.

As a property sales advisor, you could progress to become a sales manager and sales director. Alternatively, you could transfer your skills into a marketing or public relations role.

The type of job role can differ depending on the employer and the activities involved. Some roles such as trade roles have the opportunity to be self-employed. Often employers offer a variety of employment status and flexibility. The jobs outlined in this website are common across the home building industry, but the job titles may differ from one organisation to another.
