We have structured a program to get you earning income within 45-60 days or less & you must appreciate that your income will depend on your discipline & work habits.
This one year program is not easy, you will be making sacrifices in time & energy, it will be intense, however, after one year, you will be one of the highest skilled and experienced sales representatives in The London St.Thomas Association of Realtors (LSTAR).
We have created an effective screening program to ensure that those who join us will succeed and be a good fit.
As a non-franchise Independent Brokerage, we feel this is one of our important points of differentiation.
The Hiring Process
Our interview process starts with a conversation about the above topics and at the end of which we will both decide if we want to move ahead.
If yes, you will be asked to complete two in depth questionnaires which will take about an hour.
The next step will be to provide you with an analysis of the questionnaire & how it fits with the Envelope Sales Profile & if we both want to proceed, together we will review your answers & answer any questions you may have.
