Product Description
Thinking big is part of the real estate industry and grandiose speculation has created some of America’s greatest fortunes. John Jacob Astor traded in his empire of beaver pelts for a gamble on uptown Manhattan real estate and in the process became the richest man in America. More recently, moguls like Sam "the grave dancer" Zell and the perennially overreaching Donald Trump have made fantastic fortunes on real estate gambles. Even for non-billionaires in the industry, the thrill of deal making, the potential for financial reward, and the sociability make real estate a rewarding profession. Does this industry appeal to you? If so, check out our brand new guide and read about:
  • What the latest trends in the real estate industry are
  • Who ranks in the top ten and why
  • What it's like to be a real estate broker or director of asset management
  • What jobs are out there—from loan officer and site acquisition specialist to REIT manager and commercial broker
  • What the typical career paths are
  • What the hiring process is like
  • More!

5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed   April 11, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This guide provided just what I needed. I've already got my Realter's license and just wanted a simple, accesible source to guide me through my job search. The WetFeet guide provided a simple industry break down along with loads of resources for researching and contacting the larger national firms. I especially liked the Real People Profiles that described actual jobs that people had. It made it very easy to picture myself doing the same job.


5 out of 5 stars The Guide for Career-Minded Realters   February 20, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this guide really helpful because it highlighted a whole world beyond that of just a Real Estate Agent, which is what I've always had in mind. This is a great resource for people interested in the large scale real estate industry, especially in commercial and corporate. If working for a large, national, diversified real estate company is what you aim for, this is the guide for you. I have now narrowed down my search to focus on the companies that most appeal to me, and this is based on solid information, not just opinions. The "On The Job" section was also helpful in showing me the differences, pros, and cons, among the various career paths. This is a great guide for those who aspire to have a full-time career in real estate.


5 out of 5 stars Getting my real estate license   February 20, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

this was helpful for me in terms of giving me some good ideas and leads for what to do once i get my real estate license. i especially liked the background information on the industry landscape, from REITs to brokerage to property management. I'm excited at the prospect at starting small and then continuing to try new things in this potentially lucrative industry. and i'm definitely ready for a change from sales to real estate.
