The job of a letting agent is like that of an estate agent but involves the renting of a property rather than its sale. Like a sales agent, the letting agent requires certain skills such as good communication, and certain qualities such as a smart appearance, and a knowledge of the property market in general, and more particularly of properties in the local area of operation.

There has never been a better time for letting agents many would say, as the recent economic difficulties in many countries have made it more difficult to get a mortgage to buy a house, so many more people are renting instead.

The letting agent is primarily responsible to the owner of a property, or landlord, who engages him or her to find a suitable tenant at a mutually agreeable rent. The agent will also help with drawing up a tenancy agreement and managing a deposit, an inventory of contents, contingency sums, and so on. Letting agents are often keen to provide a full managed service for which they charge the landlord up to 12% of the gross rent per year. Whether this is a goods deal for the landlord is open to question, but it certainly boosts the revenue for the agent for seemingly not too much work. The degree of management is often a rather grey area, but should include dealing with tenants' day to day problems in respect of broken appliances or other repairs that might become necessary, and such like.

There are a fortunate few who love every working hour of every working day, but there are many more people who just barely get through the day, longing for the time when they can get out the door and go home. Often this is because they see no real value in what they do, or it's too repetitive and boring. It is easy to fall into the trap of accepting a job because it's on offer and you get paid for doing it, rather than taking the time and trouble to seek out an area of employment that will hold your interest and provide some challenges through your working life. Without the odd challenge life becomes rather boring, and a well paid but boring job is less than you need to settle for.

Why, for example, become a dentist stuck between the same four walls for years, with only teeth and your nurse to look at when you could be a news reporter, with every day different, offering new places to see and new people to talk to?
