The real estate market is starting to take a dive. What would be a good profession for myself to go into?

May 31st, 2009
No Rules, Evan asked:


I have been in the real estate market for about 7 years. I started as the coordinator of the loan, then credit officer / assoc. Subscriber responsible for call center, director of product. The market is slowly disappearing, I 'm standing now. I think I should try another field, maybe financial planning. I don 't know if the market is already saturated with other fellow real estate. The market will only get worse, what should I do?

I am reletting and have found out that my realty company is trying to steal away my applicants, is it illegal?

May 27th, 2009
I’ve been advertising my apartment to try to re-let it for a new 12 month lease in preparation for a relocation due to work. It has been going moderately well in that a lot of people have been interested and come by. But i found out the other day that when one couple i gave applications to went to turn them in to the realty company, they took them back to the building to show them other units and even offered them deals to cut the price. Now, clearly this is immoral, but does anyone who knows something about this type of thing know if it is illegal, and could i use it to negotiate breaking my lease?

EDIT:
In response to some of the answers, the couple told me *specifically* that the realty company tried to convince them to move into a different unit.
Also, how am I supposed to do the vetting when they require SS Card, copies of your DL, 2 pay stubs, etc.
This is for a *new* 12 month lease which will cancel my existing lease. I can’t act as a middle man between them and the owners.

What is the difference between a real estate broker and real estate agent?

May 21st, 2009
I was wondering what the difference was between a real estate broker and a real estate agent? How long would you have to go to school to be either one?
I pretty much got my answer to this question. Can a real estate broker act as both a broker as well as the agent? I plan on starting my own realty but want to do both jobs.
