Property Matters

A career in commercial real estate

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE brokerage is an exciting and challenging career. It offers a good work-life balance, with weekday business hours rather than the weekend work common in the residential sector. The role also provides autonomy and independence, along with plenty of opportunities to socialise and collaborate. Repeat business is based on building ongoing relationships with clients.

While a qualification is not necessary, an understanding of property will provide a good head start, whether from investing in commercial property or knowing others who work in the industry. A core set of skills will allow anyone to thrive in this career: good organisational skills, initiative and discipline, and a competitive streak, which is vital for a commission-driven role. Mental toughness is also crucial. Positivity, resilience and persistence all go a long way. You’ll need to really enjoy working with people and have good communication skills to become a trusted expert to your clients.

Commercial real estate includes sales and leasing commercial property, although Colliers also has a residential project marketing team that specialises in residential projects of high-density developments or greenfield sites. Commercial property encompasses office, industrial, retail, land, hotels/ motels, childcare, and retirement homes.

You will, of course, need to sit your real estate salesperson’s licence. Colliers promotes diversity and inclusion in the industry with mentoring, training and support available to assist all new brokers.

A commercial property career provides a high level of flexibility and remote work options, so if you think you have what it takes, whether you are already a leader in the industry or keen to see what opportunities could be at Colliers, please contact Janet on 021 684 775 for a coffee and confidential chat.
