The estate agent assists buyers to source for properties and markets properties for owners and earn a professional fee for each successful transaction he completes be it property sales or rental.

The Diploma in Estate Agency which is awarded by the Board upon successful completion of the Part 2 exams is a pre-requisite for the person to be registered as a Probationary Estate Agent (PEA) and a Task of Professional Competence (TPC) candidate.

Besides that, upon completion of the course and even while learning you’ll gain so much knowledge that will help you in your real estate career and even property investment journey.

Lastly, the knowledge gained is also helpful for you to complete the test of professional competence and Board interview which will enable you to be a real estate license holder in future.

In order to become a Registered Estate Agent (REA) ie Real Estate License Holder, the person needs to complete a 2 year probation period and complete the Test of Professional Competence (TPC). The test of professional competence contains the 2 year work diary which logs down the real estate work experience of the probationary estate agent during the 2 years. Besides that, there are also 2 tasks, a record of experience and also the Board interview to complete before being registered as a Registered Estate Agent (REA) ie obtaining your real estate license.

The 2 years work experience is relatively easier as compared to completing the Diploma in Estate Agency (Part 1 + Part 2 exams) as most of the content required for you to complete your TPC (test of professional competence) is covered during your Part 2 lessons. However, Good Institute also has a short online course for the TPC which you can sign up for which will give you a head start in preparing for it.

Upon passing the Board interview, the TPC (test of professional competence) candidate shall be deemed to have passed the test of professional competence and is eligible to be registered as a Registered Estate Agent (REA) ie real estate license holder. The person can then submit the registration form together with the necessary documentation and fee payment and become a Registered Estate Agent ie real estate license holder.

The Registered Estate Agent ie real estate license holder can then enjoy all the benefits such as being able to open your own agency, recruit negotiators (REN) to work and earn money for the agency or alternatively enjoy a monthly stable income as a Registered Estate Agent license holder.

Both Real Estate Negotiator (REN) and Registered Estate Agent (REA) are professionals that provide real estate agency services to clients to list and market properties for sale or to let.

Some people are confused between the terms REN and REA and may even think that they are the same. The terms REN, REA or even negotiator, property agent and estate agent are also often use interchangeably making it more confusing.

However, there is a difference between the terms REN and REA. Although both are involved in the real estate industry and may have some overlapping roles, they are actually different roles between the two.

REA stands for registered estate agent and REN on the other hand stands for real estate negotiator. Both are registered under the Board and both can assist clients to transact real estate deals. Here are a few key differences between the REA and the REN.

1. All negotiators need to work under a registered estate agent

   Only registered estate agents can set up an estate agency and recruit negotiators to work under them. Negotiators on the other hand must work for a registered estate agency and under the supervision of a registered estate agent ie a license holder. Upon closing a real estate / property transaction, negotiators only get a portion of the commission paid whereas the rest will go to the registered estate agent and company. The registered estate agent can choose to close their own property transactions and can get up to 100% of the total commission.



2. Quick start vs Specialized Knowledge

   Negotiators (REN) can enter the lucrative business of real estate with just the minimum of 2 days training whereas Estate agents (REA) are required to undergo a more specialized training ie the diploma course. This diploma covers 12 subjects ranging from estate agency laws and practice, property law, valuation, building technology and more trains the estate agent in all key areas of real estate. The specialized knowledge and experience gained is invaluable and is a great asset to a real estate agent in his dealings with his clients.



3. Starting Your Own Business

   One of the key differences between agents and negotiators is the fact that agents can start their own business. Negotiators (REN) will always be working under an agent/agency, whereas agents (REA) can set up their own estate agency which gives the estate agent the ability to earn much more than the RENs. Estate agency owners also have much more flexibility to set his own schedule and do not need to be bound by any targets set by the estate agency.



4. Earning Passive Income

   Another advantage that comes with being an registered estate agent is that REAs can gain a passive income from each successful transaction completed by negotiators working under them. This way, agents (REA) can focus on building up the business.

   The real estate license is invaluable giving the registered estate agent (REA) access to earning a more stable and lucrative real estate business which can leverage on the strength and ability of others versus an unstable real estate business which depend solely self-work like the real estate negotiator who also needs to always be working full time under the supervision of a REA.

There are many reasons to be a registered estate agent. Some of the reasons include:

It is not necessary to earn a costly degree in order to become a real estate agent. Real estate education is cost effective and can be studied part time from the convenience of your own home.

Real estate agents have flexible hours and they have the freedom to decide for themselves how to manage their time and priorities. You can work from home, set your own goals, and reap the rewards of your successes. With this level of autonomy, you have greater flexibility and a better work-life balance.

You are not restricted to how much you earn per hour. You can earn as much as you want depending on your dedication and hard work. Since it's your own trade, your main limitations are how well you begin and grow your business.

As you learn from the subjects taught in our course, you will develop both general and specific know-how of real estate and will become knowledgeable. Clients will turn to you for market advice and you will be able to steer them in the right direction. Real estate agents take great pride in their expertise and ability to impart the knowledge.

Networking is a key factor in being successful and making more money. A profession in real estate allows you to be sociable, make new connections, and learn about individuals from various walks of life.

The exciting element is the potential to continue learning and growing as your career progresses. The real estate industry is constantly changing. You can adapt to the industry, adopt new technology, and acquire new skills to succeed and stand out from the crowd.

As a real estate agent you get to set up your own estate agency which enables you to earn much more than a mere negotiator and also the ability to be much more flexible and not be bound by targets set by the estate agency which negotiators are normally bound by.

Another advantage that comes with being an registered estate agent is that REAs can gain a passive income from each successful transaction completed by negotiators working under them. This way, agents (REA) can focus on building up the business. The real estate license is invaluable giving the registered estate agent (REA) access to earning a more stable and lucrative real estate business which can leverage on the strength and ability of others versus an unstable real estate business which depend solely self-work like the real estate negotiator who also needs to always be working full time under the supervision of a REA.
