You need to have a license for this though, but don’t worry because the time and money you invest to get your license will all be worth it.

A real estate agent is a licensed individual that can sell real estate but needs to be employed or connected to a real estate broker. The agent usually receives 2-3% commission while the broker receives 3-6%. This might be a small percentage at first glance but you need to keep in mind that houses and other real estates are sold by the millions. The best part of this is that Cebu currently has a booming real estate industry and there are thousands of properties waiting to be sold and thousands of buyers looking for them. It’s the job of the real estate agents to help the two meet each other.
