Is this how all real estate brokerages operate? Hey guys, I was recently hired by Prudential Real Estate but I was curious about the actual process. What Prudential has hired me to be is a Real Estate Agent. The position is commission based only. Is this how it is for all real estate agencies? Are there any position which offer stable salary with commission as a bonus? They also want me to front money for classes, business cards, and etc. which seemed some what awkward and if I wanted to call and talk to a manager, there were only two ladies which I am permitted to speak with. I am asking this question because this seems skeptical and may be a M.L.M. of some sort. Could anyone who is in real estate tell me about how most agent position operate and which company would be best to start with? I currently do not have my DRE but I do plan on taking the crash course Prudential offers or doing it through another brokerage. Prudential has selected me as one of the 20 candidates they were hiring due to a quick exam I took and they believe I scored as high as agents whom make $125,000+ annually. Any information is appreciated! Warm Regards, Jason Xiao I was actually taking classes to become an real estate agent anyways. I am already doing classes but I may do the crash course just to get it over with quickly. Not really suckered in to me, more like a door opened so I didn't have to really spend a lot of effort applying. I actually own a couple personal businesses also in retail sales and I have worked as a sales agent at target and Best Buy when I was younger. I have a "charm" according to all my previous employers. Hopefully my interest in cars and real estate would land me a higher paying job, thanks for all the replies.

Real Estate Law/Mortgage Attorney Bad Home Loans!!!? I was given a very bad loan with a reputable bank "Wells Fargo" that is. They NEVER gave me Disclosures Good Faith,TIL Borrowers Authorization etc! They sold my loan to EMC and they changed my Interest rate from a FIXED rate when i signed my loan docs to an ADJUSTABLE rate of a 10% on my FIRST and a 12% ADJUSTABLE on my second WITHOUT even telling me! I am pretty sure i have aREALLY good case! That is what EVERYONE is telling me! I was workingfor a company Prudential Real Estate when the wells fargo "Lender" that worked with me he had his own branch in my office told me i could get a home loan even though i was making COMMISSION only and probably only $1,000 a month. My Mortgage is $2,200 a month for a very small condo here in Modesto that was built in 1980 and is only worth $200k and they sold it to me for $235K. What i am upset about is what they told me and not disclosing ANYTHING to me i have ALL of my documents and no good faith etc was given to me and my Interest rate changed 3 points when they sol my loan to EMC. The Lender from Wells Fargo told me to write a letter saying i made $4,000 a month doing Notaries a month and that would get me the home loan! Well it Did and with a Hefty Price and a Mortgage I cannot afford and nobody will refinance me because i had to file bankruptcy because i could not afford the payments anymore at 27 years old on my own and only making $2k a month, and a Mortgage of $2,200 a month which is more than i make not including money i need to eat!!!!! Please call me ASAP and i will explain in detail. I am afraid i will lose my home and i am frustrated because i keep getting the wrong answers from my NEW lender and my interest rate changed without my consent! I can be reached at 209-380-1004. Thank You!!!! Sincerely, Krissy Sutton 209-380-1004

What is the best real estate company to work for in California? I am a licensed real estate agent. The small office I previously worked for has closed down and I need to put my license with a new office. I am thinking of going with a larger company this time that has a good reputation. I am looking for an office with no desk fees, a good commission split, ongoing education, and good resources. I am basically thinking of Century 21, Prudential, Keller Williams, and other big ones of that sort. What have been your experiences as an agent with these companies?

How do I cancel my real estate account without cancel my Yahoo account? I just read from "home buying for dummies" that the condition of using Yahoo real estate account is rediculous. From my understanding, you essentially just have to buy from Prudential. Obviously I did not read the term of service carefully when I signed up. But from what I read in that book, it's like Prudential buys Ad space from Yahoo, and people who use the site to look up in their Ad will have to buy from them. I am not sure their terms (wishlist) is legal. Anyway, please help cancel my account with Yahoo real estate. Dan Cai

I want to work in Real Estate Finance but how do I get started? I am a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut, completing a finance degree with a concentration in Real Estate & Urban Economics. I graduated with honors, I did an internship at Prudential Financial, and have references from previous managers, professors and personal friends. I can't find a job. I have been on a handful of interviews that are begun with the explanation that their is not an open position but they would like to meet me now in case something opens up. I am running out of time to wait. My apartment lease is up on Monday and I don't have any family in the area. My friends have offered to help me out for awhile but I would feel terrible having to live off their charity for very long. I started about a month ago to look for bill-paying jobs such as a bartender, or waiter, even a retail job but have been met with resistance. I am running out of option and am not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greg

How do real estate companies get mortages? I was wondering if I should go to a mortage lender company, and have them help me because the way I understand it they are connected to many different lenders. However, if I go through a real estate company, century 21, prudential, do they have financing with only one company, or 2..or do they have a larger network? I don't want to have to pull my credit a dozen times. I figured I should go to someone who can pull my credit once and run it but with a large group of lenders..does this make sense? Like when I went to get my car they pulled it and ran it through 30 different auto loan companies..does anyone have any idea as to what I should do? I will shop around, I just don't want to shop to every person in my town. Thanks!

Starting a career in real estate.? I am thinking about starting a career in real estate. I just left my job due to too much time being spent away from home (4 days at a time). I don't need medical benefits and I really don't have many bills (probably around $1200 or so). So I guess my question is, is this something I can realistically do full time right out of the gate. I would be working with Prudential Realty.

Real Estate License, becoming sales person? I want to become a real estate "sales person" but I have lot of questions... Should I get it through a community college, or is there a way I can go to a real estate company like century 21, Cold well Banker, Prudential, or first team, and have them train me for free, or pay but be able to automatically become an agent there, and is it HARD to get into a company?? I KNOW it is a crappy market, but it is really what I want to do, and I live in a very dense area so I don't think it would be as hard, but I don't know much about it... HELP!!!

How to start my own real estate company? I'm considering a career in real estate. I'm looking at maybe getting into flipping properties too. I'm a first year college student and next semester I'm taking the basic real estate principles class so I can get my basic license. I'm hoping to get an internship with a real estate office to learn more of the business from the inside. However, after college, I don't want to work for a company (Prudential, Remax, etc.) It seems as though these companies basically monopolize the real estate industry where I live (San Diego). With like 50 offices in the city, and 100+ agents/brokers at each office. It seems like every real estate agent has to work for these companies to be successful. I want to start my own business, be my own broker, and eventually hire agents, etc. Sell homes, buy bank owned homes and flip them. How do I get to this point? And how would I purchase homes if all of them are owned by Prudential or RE/Max? Thanks

Real Estate job in NYC ? Is anyone in NYC looking for a real estate agent. I am a young motivated real estate agent looking to work with a large firm.

Real Estate Agent v.s. Broker? I recently lost my great job of 10yrs in Human Resources and I am not looking to get into a new career. I have always been fascinated with Real Estate and I love to help people (honestly). California is a great state to live in and there are beautiful homes. How exactly is a "Real Estate Broker" different than a "Real Estate Agent"? Why are they considered more prestigious than agents? How much more money do they make on average than an agent? How much more stressful is it? I noticed the education requirements are not that much more than required of an agent. If I become a Broker do I have to lease my own place and run my own staff of agents? Like basically running my own business and competing with all of the major realtors like Century 21, Prudential, First Team, etc...? My wife makes about $70k a year and I just want to get into something that I will love doing (like this) and at least be able to contribute my share. Do most agents and or brokers in the state of california make at least $30k a year working full time hours? Thanks so much!

Real estate question. Please only answer if you know anything about it, especially the territory of New York? Guys, i had a question regarding real estate in New York. I know you start out being a real estate sales person, and then a broker. I m considering a career in it. It requires over 75 hours in classroom sessions, and fee that nyrei.com requires is somewhere around $350-$400. I want to be the agent that sells top dollar houses in the future.And around the same time, i know it requires severe butt kissing. Agents can quickly see a turn around, if there is down market like of september, 2008 last year. I want someone to steer me in the right direction regarding the ups and downs, how this works, and what shall i expect in the future. My dream is to work for prudential Douglas Eilman. This question is open for experienced people only in this particular field.

How does one get a real estate license? My son is currently in college and does not have much time for a job with set hours but he says he wants to do this in his spare time to help pay his college loans off faster. What i dont understand is how hard this process is i mean is it like a school he has to go to on the side, how long would it take and do online schools really issue real estate licenses as that is what he wants to do atm go tru a online course as he claims its faster and does not take as long as franchises like century 21, prudential ect but idk does anyone know if online schools are any good for this and what kind of commitment this is BTW we live in California as i know it tends to vary.

Wondering about opinions of local real estate agents/brokers in Central CT (Meriden, Southington, etc...)? I'm about to start a course to become an agent and trying to figure out which broker to go through - just wondering about what experiences people have had - either as a buyer/seller or as an agent. Right now my choices are William Raveis, C21 Access America, and possibly Prudential... Any thoughts or info is appreciated. Thx :)

Regarding real estate agent.? Does anyone have any idea.? Guys, i m interested in pursuing a career in Real estate. I know its tough, but around the same time i love the market.. Around the same time, i m totally dumped out of cash, and always need around $1200-1300/ month for my rent and pocket expenses. I work in a retail store, which covers all my expenses, but at the same time, i don't really like my job that much. I work from 5-9 pm 4 days/ week at my retail job. So i felt, around my free time which is in the mornings, why not pursue a career in a field that i most passionate about. Learn the ups and downs, take classes in it, and get certified, and work at a top company like Prudential Douglas or blackstone properties of Nyc. This is where i have no clue, i got a call from Blackstone properties this morning, and asked me to come in for an interview for an Agent position. I don't really know of what to expect, it says they will help the agents get certified and help them obtain their license. Any clue of what to expect from them in the future. Any help will help me deeply. Thank you very much.

Which broker in Phoenix is better to work fir:Prudential or Keller Williams? I have been in mortgage for about 8 years now, and am looking to go into real estate full time, both as an agent and investor. Since I am in the Phoenix area, I know there are many choices, but these two look the best so far. (KW-training and growth, Prudfential-Yahoo! Real Estate coverage and visibility) Any ideas or details regarding these? Especially fees, training, etc. Keep in mind I may be new to the business, but plan on dedicating myself to this absolutely and do NOT want to change companies! This would be for the long term! And we have an eye to doing commercial development in the future, so is there an edge there between these two?

Who is better to work for, Prudential or Keller Williams? I am currently enrolled in Allied school to get my real estate license, its a home study thing I dont go to any class room things and its taking me forever to get through 1 book. I see that Prudential can get you a real estate license within 2 1/2 weeks. I originally wanted to get my license through a school so i could choose who i wanted to work for instead and having to sign a contract for them sending me to their schooling. I had talked to an agent at Keller Williams and she was talking about how they had the best deal with starting there and commission. Has anyone worked for either one or both, and what do they prefer?

yahoo gone prudential? when checking into the yahoo real estate site i have noticed that now all listings are prudential and you have to register to see each property and or tour. i liked the old system better does anyone else like the old system better

What is the Percentages that Realtors make in Nassau County NY? What is usually the minmum, to the max rate that a realtor, such as Prudential, or Century 21 makes off of the selling of your home? Is 3-6% higher? Just curious before I start selling. Also, how much do they usually sell a house for in those locations of Nassau County NY? Please only answer if your a professional, or know about NY Real Estate. Serious replies only.

Who is the best brokerage to work for in the Seattle-Burien area? I just got my license about a month ago, but have been going back and forth about which broker to work with. I have interviewed with John L. Scott and Prudential. I have also looked at the Century 21 ads, but was not impressed, same with Re/Max. I have another job, so want to work part-time initially. Both JLS and Prudential said that was okay. I like the JLS training method and the technology website, etc, but the broker of the office closest where I live I was lukewarm on-- The Prudential office has been totally trying to "woo" me to their office, but I feel like they just want warm bodies to fill their desks, but the broker was awesome!! There are also some other local places that looked interesting and that were hiring: Premier Real Estate Group, Skyline, and Ewing & Clark. I am not sure if I will be transitioning into full-time in the near future. A consideration for me is that I may be purchasing my own home shortly and want to take more of my commission to put towards it.

Title Search - What is the Process? (especially in NC)? Ok, the first question I asked was a little ambiguous. I know I can get a title search done, that is NOT the question. The question is HOW, or even better, what are the STEPS involved in the process. I know we start at the courthouse real estate division and I even know where it is, but what I'd like to know is what are the locations of ALL LIENS (including IRS liens and mechanics liens) on a property. Is there a central repository? We took a class of our Prudential agents there when I was a new agent, but it went by so quickly, I think I missed parts. I frequently represent buyers in MLS and FSBO-listed properties, but I've also represented some on the courthouse steps and I want to be armed with the liens before we bid.

Costs of buying a house? So, I'm contemplating buying a house/other real estate sometime in the relatively near future. I'm not looking for anything amazing at all, but it would be nice to own a place rather than continue to rent. Just out of curiosity, I've been looking at local properties available.. if someone can help me figure out what I'm reading, that'd be awesome. For instance, this house: http://www.gtimpke.prunw.com/prudential_nw/modules/internet/search/includes/mapsearch/listingpopup.asp?mlsid=266&mlsnumber=8086085&lwsaccountid=113532&detail=gallery looks like it's priced at $7900 TOTAL. With only $47 a month payments (if I were to take out a 30 year loan) and a $395 down payment. How is this possible? I mean, the house is really small and in a small town that's pretty far away from anything.. but still, that is really cheap!! Are there hidden expenses not mentioned? And on that note, what expenses should I expect to pay when I first look to buy a place? I'm really ignorant on this issue, and all the advice I could get would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Did the Democrats & Barney Frank cause the financial mess? Was Bush too green to forcefully stop the LIBERALs? http://www.kfor.com/global/story.asp?s=9080306 Excerpt: ------------- The Bush Administration, in April of 2001 warned congress of a potential financial crisis. In their 2002 budget requests they declared the size of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "A potential problem... and can cause strong repercussions in the financial markets." In 2003, the White House upgraded the warning on real estate mortgage loans. Their experts said that the way loans were being handled could spread beyond the housing sector. In fall of 2003 the Bush Administration was pushing congress hard to create a new federal agency that would monitor and supervise Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; both are Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). John Snow, Treasury Secretary at the time called for regulations and supervision of GSEs. He said in September 2003 "We need a strong world-class regulatory agency to oversee the prudential operations of the GSEs and the safety and the soundness of their financial activities." Snow was pushed back from this position, by then ranking member, but the eventual Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Barney Frank (D) from Massachusetts. Frank denied there was any problem and was quoted as saying, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not in crisis." In fact, Barney Frank was encouraging the government to do more to get low income families into homes. "The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate the threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the potential for serious financial losses.... [a problem] I do not see. We see entities that are fundamentally sound financially and would stand some of the disastrous scenarios. But, even if there were a problem the government wont bails them out. The more pressure we see there then there is less, I think, we see in terms of affordable housing," Barney Frank said in September of 2003. The creation of a regulatory agency to oversee GSEs was ultimately blocked.

Is this a sign that I should not work for this company? I interviewed with a very well known real estate company for a sales agent position. When it came time for me to ask questions, I received no answers. Everytime I asked a question from my list, the broker said "you don't have to worry about that. Just worry about training." I got no answers. I had to ask a few times for the commission split, because he said that I should not worry about that either. THis is a popular company and it is right next to my home. Even the start up costs are so low I am just concerned that I received no answers to my questions. Would you pass on this company. If it helps with your response, it Prudential Fox and Roach.

$700 Billion Bailout crisis? Bush's fault for not standing up to see-no-evil Barney Frank (link included)?
