Although their major responsibility involves creating links between individuals who want to sell or rent and individuals who are looking for properties, they are also required to stay updated with the local real estate market.
Real estate agents in Pakistan are extremely skilled individuals who can multi-task and perform their duties with the same zeal every day. They are passionate about connecting people and helping them find the best deals in the market. Although their work is not definitive, their role and responsibilities can be categorised into three groups including administrative work, research, and marketing.

Quite frankly, we have been asked this question more than a few times. In this section of our blog, we will attempt to answer the query, along with some insightful information on how to build your own agency.
Get Registered with JagahOnline
Real estate agents in Pakistan are not legally bound to register themselves and get licensed since there are no authorities issuing the certification at the moment. Most agents in Pakistan are registered with property portals such as JagahOnline to enjoy the perks and to make trustworthy contacts.

Work with Reputed Institutions
In order to enter the industry, a property dealer should have enough on-hands experience and skills to deal with the challenges of the market. These skills are usually gained after someone has spent due time in the market, dealt with a variety of cases, and made successful deals.
For real estate entrants and newbies, the process of registration can be as simple as working with a well-reputed and established agency. They can either choose to work as an employee or as a partner.
It is always better to settle terms and conditions before you actually start working with the partners or employers. This will also help you eradicate unpleasant experiences in the industry.
Talk about the share of the commission on successful deals, working limitations, methods, and schedule. Once you have learnt the tactics and whereabouts of the market, you can start your own business and function as an autonomous agent.
Get a Degree in Real Estate
Acquiring a degree in real estate is the best way to get a real estate licence in Pakistan. However, getting a degree or certification in real estate wasn’t possible a few years ago. Until recently the National Institute of Real Estate Management (NIREM) announced their diploma and degree programmes and made it possible for individuals to get knowledge about property management.
You can easily enroll yourself in any of their various programmes and uplift your name in the real estate community. Not only the degree will provide you an insight into the property market, but it will also help you to build something of your own.
