Real Estate Management Clerk: Your entry into the world of real estate

Training as a real estate management clerk is a demanding specialization for professionals with a technical, manual or commercial basic education. Real estate management includes the areas of accounting and controlling, management and letting of properties and parking spaces, administration of building insurance, etc. Real estate management clerks work in a team. They carry out the tasks assigned to them independently and on their own responsibility.

Depending on the provider, the Real Estate Management Clerk course concludes with the school's own diploma, Edupool diploma or SVIT diploma. These diplomas lay the foundation for a career in real estate and open the door to higher qualifications such as the Federal Diploma of Higher Education in Real Estate Management.

Investing in real estate is considered a safe investment, which is further boosting the real estate boom. The demand for specialists in the management of existing and new properties who are also familiar with tenancy and condominium law, debt collection and bankruptcy law, commercial accounting and bookkeeping as well as communication is correspondingly high.

Real estate clerks work for real estate companies, banks, pension funds, insurance companies, public administrations, fiduciary, auditing and property management companies or for communities of heirs and foundations. Their day-to-day work is characterized by external appointments, contacts and office work.

They are the first point of contact for tenants, tradespeople and authorities. For example, if a tenant reports a faulty fridge, they place the repair order and check the bill later. They also help with the drafting of apartment advertisements, rent changes and terminations, accounting and apartment viewings, inspections and handovers.

The training is ideal for professionals who are interested in houses, people and real estate. The optimal management of properties in the interests of their owners requires specialist knowledge and empathy, but sometimes also perseverance and assertiveness. If you have these qualities, continuing education, further training as a real estate management clerk is a good way to go.

Questions and answers

Taking on administrative tasks in the real estate management team is the core task of the real estate management clerk. Other tasks include

  • Maintaining contact with tenants, tradespeople and authorities
  • Organize and assist with handovers and inspections
  • Placing repair orders
  • Accounting, checking accounts payable invoices
  • Create invoices

Not all training providers offer or require you to take a final examination to become a real estate management specialist. A separate (external) examination must be taken for further training courses that conclude with a certificate from a label or association, such as edupool.ch.

The content of further training courses to become a real estate management clerk can vary greatly depending on the training provider, degree and duration. In terms of content, the course can look something like this:

  • Real estate accounting (bookkeeping; real estate accounting; real estate valuation approaches; mortgages; value maintenance; rental income; provisions; postings; yield calculation; budgets)
  • Property management (change of tenants; caretaking; ancillary and heating cost billing; condominium owners' meetings; billing of operating costs; reporting; advertisements; self-management)
  • Building documentation; tenant damage accounts; insurance; handover protocol)
  • Law (legal bases; rental agreement, defects, contract theory).

Topics such as construction cost plan, family law, commercial register, condominium ownership, energy efficiency, re-letting measures, building damage, bankruptcy proceedings, rent structuring and other topics are also part of this further training. For exact content, please contact the individual training providers directly for further training as a real estate administrator.

Further training in real estate management provides graduates with the following skills:

  • Basic knowledge of real estate management
  • Knowledge of employer services and customer needs in the areas of property management, condominium management and property accounting
  • Routine solution of job-specific tasks
  • Practice-oriented knowledge transfer
  • Practical application of methods and instruments
  • Customer and market-oriented mindset

You can achieve the following with training as a real estate management clerk:

  • Entry into the real estate industry through solid basic training for all important real estate management skills
  • all the necessary knowledge to establish yourself as a specialist in the Swiss real estate landscape
  • Solid basic knowledge and skills in the areas of construction, real estate management, real estate accounting and law

  • Further development possible after the Real Estate Management Clerk training to become a Federal Diploma of Higher Education in Real Estate Management

For people without professional experience in the real estate industry who would like to work as a real estate manager in the course of their career, we recommend entering the real estate industry by attending a certificate course, for example as a real estate management clerk, which is also suitable for career changers.

The SVIT School is the training center for real estate professions. Thanks to its proximity to the market, the SVIT School is able to respond to the latest challenges in practice with state-of-the-art knowledge. The Swiss Association of the Real Estate Industry (SVIT) has been the professional organization for professional real estate service providers since 1933.

Good German language skills, at least at level C1, are generally required for admission to further training as a real estate management assistant.

The following learning content is taught in a further training course for real estate management clerks:

  • Commercial arithmetic
  • Management of rental properties incl. tenancy law
  • Management of condominiums incl. condominium law
  • Real estate management
  • Structural knowledge
  • Debt enforcement and bankruptcy law
  • Insurances
  • Real estate accounting/financial accounting
  • Law
  • Communication technology/methodological competence

The word "management" is derived from the word "wirtschaften", which means the planned and efficient use of scarce resources in order to satisfy needs in the best possible way. In real estate management, the focus is on the use determined by the operator or user. Real estate management can be a function within a company or a service for third parties (real estate management).

No special prior knowledge of the real estate sector is required for a course in real estate management. Ideally, participants should meet the personal requirements in terms of enjoyment of learning, intensive commitment to further training, regular class attendance (at least 80%) and initiative for self-study.

Furthermore:

  • Good written and spoken German (level C1)
  • Basic accounting knowledge according to the edupool self-assessment test
  • At least two years of general professional experience (note: the apprenticeship period is taken into account here)
  • Recommendation: edupool commercial school diploma, basic commercial vocational training or equivalent training

Training to become a real estate management assistant is a course that ends with a certificate and provides you with the basic knowledge of real estate management. Further training to become a real estate manager, on the other hand, is a preparatory course for a federal professional examination (BP) which, if passed, leads to a federal specialist certificate.

Depending on the training provider, the certificate course in real estate management can take different lengths of time. Depending on the intensity of the course, continuing education, further training can take between two and twelve months.
