Real Estate Educators

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

Experience as a teacher or in a particular real estate specialty (such as sales or financing) is required to become a successful real estate educator.

As a teacher, you should be able to interact with students at different skill levels, including some who might not have learned proper study habits or who have a different first language. This requires patience, as well as the ability to track the progress of each individual student. Good communication skills are essential, as you’ll need to explain things clearly and to answer questions completely. Other important traits include good organizational and leadership skills.
