Property Consultation

Property Consultants advise clients about real estate decisions. Sometimes, customers are individuals or couples looking to buy a residence to live in or a property in which to invest in for profit. REALTOR® consultants provide advice and information that helps residential and investment clients make smart buying or selling decisions. A real estate consultant must have extensive knowledge about the local market and investment opportunities, experience as a REALTOR®, and excellent communication skills.

Real estate consultants unbundle the items in the typical real estate package and charge hourly rates for their work. Each is billed separately at the real estate consultant’s negotiated rate.
