I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Real Estate Homeward (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Hiring interview is usually with the Manager/Broker, who co-owns the Brokerage with his wife, the Broker of Record. Hirees can be either newly-qualified real estate agents (or even ones still qualifying) or - more often - experienced agents thinking to transfer from another Brokerage. This Brokerage's reputation is now so well established that usually it is prospective real estate agents who seek to work there, rather than being sought out by the Brokerage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To new agents: Can you survive with virtually no earnings for the first 3 to 6 months ? Are you willing to work 60+ hour weeks, often after normal office hours and at week-ends?
