Does anyone know the hiring process for a Prudential Real Estate Agent? I saw a posting on monster.com.?

I also wanted to know if they pay for you to get licensed. Is there any catch to it cause it seems pretty easy with no real requirements.

1. If you want to be a real estate agent with any companies, you need to get licensed first. You can take the exam through the state. Once you have the license, you can join any companies you want. You need to pay fees for using the company resources and you will split the commision with the company.
2. There is no "hiring process", as being a real estate agent is not a regular job with a guaranteed paycheck - it is your own business, conducted under the supervision of the broker. You get your license from your state, and hang it with the real estate broker of your choice. You pay all expenses of getting your license and setting up your business, and, when you do make a sale, you split the commission with the broker per the agreement you made with them when you hung your license. Speak to an experienced agent to learn more about how it really works.
3. While most companies are willing to teach you the required courses at a lower cost to you, they do not pay for you to take the exams and will not cover the cost of your licensing with the state in which you live. Some companies may foot the bills up front and then take the fees out of any commissions you earn after your begin your career. You will be asked to commit to a certain amount of time with the company after you are licensed. Contact any legitimate company and ask the questions. Once licensed you'll have to prove your worth by listing and selling real estate. Otherwise, most managers will suggest a "career adjustment". You'll be given 6 months in most cases. Some companies will ask you to take an aptitude test to see if you are likely to become a good agent. If you seem qualified, you'll be sponsored.
4. If you have your license and seem willing to work, there is a 98% chance that they will "hire" you. That is because they don't pay you anything. So they can afford to hire more people than they truly need. A few offices will pay the $350 for your realty schooling.
