Lately, we have witnessed more and more people diverting their career choices towards the real estate sector. In fact, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, it has been estimated that the rate of employment in real estate is forecasted to grow about 7 percent during the period of 2018 to 2018. Hence, this further solidifies the fact that real estate has become an attractive choice amongst job-hunting individuals.

But what is it exactly about this industry that has significantly grabbed their attention? Property expert, sales specialist, TV presenter and real estate agent Charles David Haward knows exactly what it is- but before he further discusses the topic, it is important to have a better insight into his back story to truly appreciate the benefits that he received throughout his career within the real estate industry.

Haward was originally from Folkestone Kent and was the youngest out of his four siblings. He felt as a child that his life was significantly different from the people around him. He was brought up all across the country because of his parents' pub business that would shift locations several times- and there wasn't a place where he believed he could call his permanent home.

Moreover, the feeling of having no home, further amplified in 2013 when he was homeless for almost a year and struggled to find a house to seek shelter in. These strong feelings were then channeled into his fiery determination and he was committed to rising to the top and turning his life around.

After several successes, he now stands as an accomplished real estate agent who owns a company and works as a TV host for the BBC Three documentary series 'Rent Like a Boss.' After setting his eyes on real estate, he has never looked back. And why would he? After all, the secrets he will be sharing now were definitely worth all the efforts he had placed in his career to come this far.

You Can Balance Your Career and Personal Life

Working in the real estate industry allows you to have more control over your schedule. You can set job hours according to what you see fit- working as much or even as little as you need in order to get your work done.

Thus, this can help you in maintaining balance within your personal life. You can meet up with friends for lunch between your house showings or even attend social events after you are done with an open house.

High Earning Potential

The best thing about real estate is that there is a limitless amount of profit you can make in this industry- further improving it's high earning potential.

Essentially, a real estate career is similar to owning your own business and that means you are the sole factor that determines where your earning limit ends or continues to prosper.

Choosing Career is a Quick Process

Compared to other career choices such as doctors or engineers, you need to study through several years in specific institutions, and only then can you reach your career goal.

Real estate is comparatively less complicated. You don't need to excel at specific types of studies to pursue a real estate employment opportunity. However, despite it being the fastest way to get a lucrative job, the industry is very demanding, so you need to keep yourself sharp at all times to reap maximum benefits throughout your real estate employment years.
