Suggested sequence
- Review 20–30 Realtor vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
- Define the bridge from Facility Manager: knowledge of the sector, terminology and typical work situations. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
- Learn digital property valuation and virtual viewings to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
- Analyze a real or learning property case: positioning, comparative valuation, documents, risks and negotiation plan.
- Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
- Rewrite your résumé for Realtor, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
