heres a link on the site prospects :)

"Estate agency sales negotiators work both with clients who want to sell land or property and with those who want to buy

it. Many are also involved in auctioneering, leasing and managing properties on behalf of clients.

A degree is not essential but, due to increasing competition from graduates, a relevant degree is an advantage. Entry on

to property-related graduate schemes often requires a relevant degree.

Training takes place on the job and in-house. The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) (www.naea.co.uk)

offers relevant professional training, including the Certificate of Practice in Estate Agency, plus a range of short courses

in residential sales, letting, auctioneering, commercial and essential business skills

Range of typical salaries at senior level/with experience (eg after 10-15 years in the role): £25,000 - £55,000 plus,"
