vertaaloefening
Ik heb ervoor gekozen om vastgoed te studeren omdat ik altijd geïnteresseerd was in huizen. Met
deze studie hoop ik mijn kennis over de vastgoedsector uit te breiden.
Ik wil graag zelfstandig makelaar worden omdat ik van het sociale contact hou en een grote interesse
heb om zelf in vastgoed te investeren. Hoewel je met deze studie meerdere beroepsmogelijkheden
hebt, kijk ik er nu al naar uit om later zaakvoerder te zijn van mijn eigen vastgoedkantoor.
I decided to study real estate because I have always been interested in houses. With this study I hope
to expand my knowledge about the property sector.
I would like to become an independent estate agent because I love social contact and have a great
interest in investing in properties myself. Although there are several job options with this study, I am
already looking forward to being the owner / manager of my own real estate office one day.
