Academic literature on the topic 'Real estate brokerage students'

Studien behandlar vad sex studenter och tre arbetsgivare har för uppfattning och syn på praktiken en fastighetsmäklarstudent måste genomföra för att registreras som fastighetsmäklare. Studien behandlar också hur kunskapsöverföringen upplevs av såväl studenter som arbetsgivare. Syftet är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer utreda studenters och arbetsgivares uppfattning och syn inom centrala områden vad gäller en mäklarstuderandes praktik. Områden som behandlas är bland annat kunskapsöverföring och anställning. Vårt resultat visar att praktiken generellt uppfattas som positiv och givande ur både studenters och arbetsgivares perspektiv. Resultatet visar också att det kunskapsgap som finns vad gäller teoretiska kunskaper som studenten får genom skolan och den kunskap studenten får genom praktiken, inte täcks fullt ut. De tio obligatoriska veckorna är för korta för att en fullständig kunskapsöverföring ska ske.<br>This essay deals with the perception of the mandatory practice of the real estate students in Sweden that must be accomplished to become a certified real estate agent. The goal is to investigate the matter through qualitative interviews with six students of Malmö högskola and three major employers in the Malmö area. Key areas that are scrutinized are the transfer of knowledge, employment and engagement. Our findings demonstrate that the general view of the practice within the real estate brokerage business is good and rewarding for both students and employers. The findings also show that there is a gap of knowledge between the theoretical education and the practice based education which is not fully covered. The obligatory ten weeks of practice may be considerd too short for a complete knowledge transfer to occur.

The first essay investigates how individual characteristics influence sales outcomes for houses they help transact. It develops hedonic housing models to assess the impacts of agent characteristics such as the level of recent and concurrent agent activity on sales outcomes (price and time on market). This is done in a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) setting using seven years of data obtained from a large Midwestern city. I find evidence that more active listing agents sell homes more quickly, though they do so to the detriment of final sales price. I also find that more listings concurrently held by agents have a statistically significant, negative effect on price. Selling agents appear to be quite neutral in the process and have little effect on either sales price or time on market. The second essay defines market concentrations of residential real estate brokerage services across one hundred diverse U.S. markets. Since real estate is immobile, each geographical location constitutes a local market and thus national measures of market concentration, of the type espoused by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), are of little value. The only way to get a meaningful picture of the market in general is to collectively examine observations at the city/town level. Once indices of concentration are obtained, it may be possible to get a sense of minimum and maximum scale efficiencies as well as what market specific characteristics give rise to high or low concentrations. The third essay examines the “just-below” pricing strategy in the context of home sales. Many retailers price their goods/services directly below some round amount (i.e. pricing at $2.99 instead of $3.00) and a number of studies document the effectiveness of this strategy on the demand for relatively inexpensive items (clothing, groceries, small appliances, etc). A lesser developed strand of literature examines the prevalence and effectiveness of just-below pricing in the context of larger purchases, namely real estate. This essay affirms the prevalence of just-below pricing in home transactions and finds evidence that just-below pricing can yield a higher final transaction price compared to homes initially priced on an even price point.

The ability to attract and retain customers through providing excellent service quality is a necessity for any business in every field. However, before a firm can expect to consistently provide high quality service, it must first know how to measure and identify areas of needed improvement. While service quality research has been conducted in most of the major sectors of the economy, the residential real estate brokerage industry is only beginning to incorporate existing knowledge of service quality management. This is especially disconcerting given that real estate is such a large part of local and national economies around the world. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the best instrument that can be used to measure service quality in the residential real estate brokerage industry. The findings reveal that the reliability, responsiveness and empathy dimensions significantly lead to increases in the overall evaluation of service the firm provides. The empathy dimension also significantly causes homebuyers to recommend the firm to others. Additionally, empathy significantly causes the client to use the firm again. Finally, as hypothesized, overall satisfaction leads to both repeat uses of the firm and recommending the firm to a friend.<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Impact of ECommerce on Commercial Real Estate Brokerage", is to evaluate the impact of e-commerce on the functional areas of commercial real estate (CRE) brokerage. Our selected functional areas include: database, search engine (sort/match), tour guide, analysis, negotiation, and documentation & closing. The Introduction and Chapter 1 provide an overview of the CRE brokerage industry and current e-commerce business models, Chapter 2 through Chapter 7 examine each functional area from current state and future outlook perspectives, and, lastly, the Conclusion presents our vision for the future of e-commerce and CRE brokerage industry. In the process of evaluating the six functional areas, we will analyze the current business models of the major CRE brokerage-related e-commerce companies and attempt to identify the business models' potential success factors in relation to the functional areas. We will also discuss how commercial real estate brokers can leverage technology to remain competitive in their evolving marketplace and how e-commerce is likely to impact the brokerage industry's future compensation structure.<br>by Lin Li-Williams and Derek Olsen.<br>S.M.

Fastighetsbranschen har länge varit en konservativ bransch med låg benägenhet till förändring. Grunden till detta är branschens stabila affärskoncept, att hyra ut kvadratmeter. Fastighetsbolag har levererat goda resultat under många år då marknaden länge präglats av en stabil ekonomisk uppgång. Detta har föranlett till att branschen inte varit pressade till att följa samhällets digitala transformation. Under de senaste två till tre åren har man däremot kunnat identifiera en ny trend som lett till att många bolags förändringsvilja ökat. Denna rapport syftar följaktligen till att undersöka hur digitala verktyg och hjälpmedel kan effektivisera avyttrings-, förvärvs-, förvaltnings- och förmedlingsprocessen av kommersiella fastigheter. Branschfenomenet proptech och fastighetsdigitalisering har på senare tid förändrat branschen syn på digitalisering och värdet av digitala arbetsprocesser har blivit allt mer påtagligt. Detta har i sin tur resulterat i att branschen just nu genomgår en digital transformation där många bolag gör aktiva val att använda en bred skara digitala hjälpmedel för att effektivisera, spara kostnader eller stimulera intäkter. I och med denna transformation uppstår många frågor och oklarheter kring vilka för- respektive nackdelar som finns med att digitalisera. Genom flertalet intervjuer med representanter från en bred skara bolag så har branschens numera optimistiska inställning till vad som komma skall varit påtaglig. Samtliga intervjuade respondenter uttrycker att framtiden inom fastighetsbranschen kommer att vara digital. Rapporten kartlägger även varför vissa bolag är mer digitalt mogna än andra och hur framtiden kommer att se ut för branschen som helhet.<br>The real estate sector has long been a conservative industry with low activity for change. The reason for this is the industry's stable business concept, to rent out square meters. Real estate companies have delivered good results for many years as the market has long been characterized by a stable economic growth. This has led to real estate companies not being forced to follow society's digital transformation. Though, in the last two to three years a new trend has been seen which transformed many companies' willingness to change. This report aims to analyze how digital solutions and tools can streamline divestments-, acquisitions-, management- and brokerage process of commercial real estate. The industry phenomenon proptech and real estate digitization has recently changed the industry's view of digitization and the value of digital work processes has become more evident. This has resulted in the industry currently undergoing a digital transformation where many companies make active choices to use a wide range of digital tools to streamline the management process, save costs or stimulate revenue. With this transformation many questions and uncertainties arise regarding the advantages and disadvantages of digitalization. Through interviews with representatives from a wide range of companies, the industry's now optimistic approach to what is to come has been evident. All interviewed respondents express that the future within the real estate sector will be digital. The report also maps out why some companies are more digitally mature than others and what the future will look like for the industry.
