Brookfield, Wisconsin – A real estate agent is noted as being one of the best jobs in 2012, according to a recent U.S. News and World Report <http://money.usnews.com/money/careers/articles/2012/02/27/best-jobs-2012-real-estate-agent> article. That’s because this profession will see significant growth during the next 10 years.

“The real estate market is heating up in Wisconsin,” says Joseph A. Horning, president of Shorewest, REALTORS®. “Since the start of the year, we’ve seen a significant increase of people coming to shorewest.com on a daily basis compared with last year. Plus our open house attendance is up nearly 40%. We actually need more listings to satisfy our buyer interest.”

Horning says as the market improves, more professional sales associates are needed to provide the best personal attention to our customers.

People interested in becoming a real estate specialist need to take a real estate pre-licensing course and then an exam to get their license. To help people, Shorewest’s licensing school — Shorewest Real Estate Institute — is offering a one-time discount on class fees. From now until March 30, 20112, you can register for classes and receive a 50% discount and pay only $195. Classes are available through a live instructor, on-line, by audio cds or video.
