Embarking on a career as a real estate agent means opening the door to a dynamic, fascinating path full of opportunities. It’s not a conventional profession: it’s a role that combines technical expertise, interpersonal skills, and a strong aptitude for problem-solving. The first experiences, while often challenging, are the foundation upon which a future career is built. This is the stage where you learn the ins and outs of the market, navigate your first negotiations, and gain insight into the dynamics of a sector that is both highly competitive and deeply rewarding. In this article, we take a closer look at the challenges, tasks, and essential skills for new agents, and how Engel & Völkers supports consultants in their journey.

Becoming a real estate agent means entering a dynamic, stimulating profession full of opportunities. Those who choose this career are drawn to working closely with people, building trust-based relationships, and guiding clients through one of the most important moments of their lives: choosing a home.

In the real estate sector, it’s not enough to simply “sell houses”: what truly makes the difference is the ability to be recognized as a reliable, knowledgeable, and consistent professional. In a competitive market, clients choose the person first and the service second. This is why personal branding is not optional, but a strategic component of the profession.

In a real estate negotiation, objections are not unexpected obstacles but a natural part of the process. When a client expresses doubts or hesitations, they are actually showing interest: they are evaluating the property, the service, and the information provided.


In real estate, there are several professional roles, each with specific skills and responsibilities. Among them, brokers and real estate agents are often confused: two closely collaborating roles, but not the same.

From 18 to 29 May, Engel & Völkers Italia launches a nationwide initiative: the Talent Roadshow. Far more than a traditional professional meeting, this format is an immersive experience dedicated to consultants and industry experts who want to anticipate new market paradigms. Each stop is built on strategic pillars designed to generate shared value, authentic connections, and elite expertise.
