recently I met up with a friend, he is a young graduate who decided to become a real estate agent, he told me that his agency has a lot of retirees.

gives me an idea.

I've been having a lot of thought about it, as I am in my early 50s and as a salaried worker, I am kind of tired of the politics in my office as well as being looked over for promotion. I am thinking about taking up a commission based job, in case I kena retrenched.

My questions are these:

1) Do I need to be part of a real estate agency?
Yes

2) Would they hire me in my 50s or when I have retired?
Yes

3) What is the requirement to become one? Must take exam?

4) What kind of jobs can I take up? Do I have the freedom to choose my territory or the market area?
Real Estate Negotiator (REN) selling and rental of properties. Yes

5) Is the sky the limit? I can earn = to the number of clients I close ?
Yes

6) What is the future of this business? Would it be replaced by AI one day?
Good for hardworking person. No comment

7) What about property valuation, what does it take to get this qualification?
Pass the valuation exam, do internship and pass the interview assessment by the Board
