I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Coldwell Banker (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2012
Interview
The manager I interviewed with was great. Very enthusiastic. The meeting lasted about an hour and consisted of a Video, Presentation, and one-on-one interview. I was also given a tour of the office. As a Realtor, you are an independent contractor, so I would say its more of a 25-75% interview, meaning, you are deciding which agency to be apart of so you are the ultimate decision maker. The manager is checking to see if you have the right social skills and enthusiasm, but they rarely turn you down as training will be provided and confidence comes with training and time - the more transactions and contact you have with clients, title companies, mortgage brokers, inspectors, etc., the more confident you become. You are both evaluating whether you will be a good fit for each other.
I interviewed at Coldwell Banker (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Simple, had some questions but I was looking to join a team so the onboarding went very smoothly. The entire process probably took a month to get fully onboarded, but I appreciated the support staff being there to help with all my questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Coldwell Banker (Warner Robins, GA)
Interview
Interview process is easy. Asked if I was interested in working full or part time. Explained what to expect, explained their %cut%, and who I would shadow. I was a fairly new agent at the time, and unfortunately, it didn't hold true to the shadowing part. I was thrown in the water, which hind site was probably the best way to learn....quickly.
