Updated September 2026. Registration and practice requirements can change; verify them with CEA and the appointed estate agent.
Five foundations for a new salesperson
- Complete the applicable course, examination and registration requirements.
- Learn agency procedures, documentation and compliance before prospecting.
- Build market knowledge from primary data and actual client cases.
- Create a consistent service and follow-up system, not only a social-media presence.
- Track expenses, pipeline, conversion and continuing education.
Review CEA's current entry and registration guidance. Earnings are variable and depend on transactions, costs, splits, competence and time; no income outcome is guaranteed.
