As an online real estate agent, your job is to help each client through the real estate sales process. In this role, you may provide a virtual tour of a residential or commercial property, manage the listing via the internet, and otherwise work from home to meet the client's needs. Online real estate agents usually work with clients who have no ability or no need to visit the property in person before buying it. For example, many people can buy an empty lot with nothing more than a location on a map and some pictures of the area, and families that are moving cross-country may need to buy a house without visiting. This job title refers exclusively to real estate agents who only work online, not agents who just have an online presence or post listings on the internet.
