I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Coldwell Banker (Longwood, FL) in Apr 2011
Interview
It was very much like a casual conversation. Real estate brokerages hire on an independent contractor basis. Therefore, you are paid only after a closing, i.e. no salary. New sales associates are at a lower split meaning the company receives a larger share of the commission. Thus, new associates are in high demand.
You interview the broker/office manager, versus them interviewing you. It’s an easy, fairly informal process that can take place in the office or offsite at a location of your choosing. This is where you learn about the company and ask any questions you have.
Fluid process. Very transparent about commission splits, front desk office time requirements, charity work for the community and administative process in the office relative to paperwork, invoice submission and marketing material provided.
