We work in a tight-knit and highly motivated team environment and our consultants draw upon an impressive range of business, customer and online resources to better serve our clients.

Part 1: Research project
Task 1: Business structures
1.
Research and discuss the benefits and risks of different Ownership models for a real estate business. Include the following areas in your response:
I.
Three forms of business ownership
Table 2 Business ownership
Form of Real Estate Business ownership
Explain the Benefits and Risks
Sole Trader
Being a sole trader is beneficial for a company that wants to only operate in one location. For a company that wants to deliver above and beyond service, this is made easier by decisions not being required to agree on, the owner can make an instant call. A risk starting a partnership up is the large start up costs, that are typically leveraged off personal assets. There is also many long hours that cannot be missed by sick days. Partnerships A Partnership can be beneficial as it can lower start up costs by having more equity from others and having different views can help a business run smoother. A downside to a partnership is there can be arguments over who is putting more effort or recourses into a company. Company’s Company’s are stronger typically having larger investors which allows the owner to invest in better systems, marketing and fund a larger team. A downside to most company’s is the passion for the product is lost down the hierarchy. A lot of workers on the low end are working a job just to make ends meet and don’t have the same level of passion which in result can affect the customer service. II.
Three organisational structures
Table 3 Organisational models Organisational models for
Explanation and example
Real Estate Agencies
Independent Agencies
An independent agency is completely owned and run by the owner. This means that the business operates completely by itself under its own name, not another company. Some examples of independent agencies are Salt Property (Elite Agent, 2022), Centaury 21 and PPD real estate. Franchises Franchises are businesses that operate under another companies name and brand. In exchange they pay a fee. This gives the agency a well know brand, they gain training and proven business systems. Franchises that operate today are: Colliers, Raine & Horn and Ray white (Ray White, 2024). Members of Marketing Groups. For agents that want to operate themselves but, have a significant cooperate image, becoming a member of marketing groups is beneficial. Marketing groups are similar to a franchise in their presence though don’t require as much
cost or commitment to start up. Marketing Groups that operate today are First National and The Professionals.

2.
Discuss the importance of maintaining and developing industry qualifications, licences, competency and currency.
Continuing Professional Development plays an important part in maintaining and developing those with in the Real Estate industry. With real estate being such a competitive and fast paced industry, it is constantly changing, in result the qualifications, licenses, competency and currency are changing as well. CPD has created a way for Fair Trading NSW gives the chance to everyone within the industry to keep up with the standard and remain competitive. For Fair Trading to maintain control of the industry they ensure that licenses are abided by and they have the correct qualifications. These measures are put in place to protect the consumer and ensure everything is completed ethically. The different license classes are to stop undereducated agents either selling real estate or stock. The markets are two completely different areas of work, the license creates the barrier from unexperienced agents in the real estate industry from buying and selling stock. This ensures the client selling cattle, don’t have them undervalued or when buying, paying too much at sales. Yearly CPD training builds agents’ confidence and lifts their industry’s currency. Studying a profession increases knowledge and understanding. Gained knowledge and understanding builds salesmen’s confidence by increasing their certainty when answering and communicating with clients, giving the agent a better appearance and in result gaining further trust. The learning also builds currency industry
currency my updating skills and knowledge to later information to ensure they are complying in all areas and finding the new areas to make money.
