How is real estate affecting the local economy? How does commercial property differ from residential property? Why are foreigners so eager to take up a property in Malta? How does one become a real estate agent?

These questions and many more will be answered in Frank Salt Real Estate’s first ever Master Class in real estate – a four-week course the company recently launched as part of this year’s initiatives marking its 50th anniversary. 

The course, open to the public, is aimed at individuals who would like to learn more about the real estate market in Malta and its dynamics. Spread over eight sessions, it will be held in the evening between 6 and 8 at PWC’s Academy The Hub in Qormi, starting on April 2.

The Master Class is also ideal for those who have always been intrigued by the prospects of working as a property consultant but have held back for one reason or other. Not only will they gain insights into the industry but they will also be provided with a good understanding of the skills required and what it takes to be successful at selling or renting property.

Starting out as a real estate agent does not require a lot of money or specific qualifications. All one needs is the right infrastructure to support them, as well as a strong passion for property, honesty and integrity, great communications skills, own transport and commitment.

Real estate is also a highly secure job, given that the industry is one of the most resilient in Malta. If one had to look at the last couple of decades, no matter the state of the economy, there are always people looking for property to buy or rent and looking to work for a real estate company.

The two-hour lectures will be delivered by some of Frank Salt Real Estate’s most experienced consultants, guided by more than 50 years of experience in the field.
