RE Company offers 1 year deal! Is this too good to be true?
Hello everyone,
I just found out my cousin who is taking classes at a RE company called Century 21. The contract states that if classes are taken with Century 21 (around $400 for classes and another $185ish for exam) that they will hire me and let me work for them for 1 year (if I pass the exam). I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of something like this? If you have how was it and what RE company was it for?
To me this sounds a little to good to be true, because after you sell your first property Century 21 will reimburse the $400ish dollars for the classes. My cousin sent me a picture of the contract, it looked simple so I became a bit skeptical. I know that Century 21 is a big RE company out here in Southern California but I'm not sure if it's country wide.
Any information will be great since I really want to get my RE license and start RE career. I've waited to long and I need to start taking some action. If this is true signing with them would be a good idea, since they guarantee that I will be able to work with them for at least 1 year.
Thanks again
Kevin

Almost any real estate brokerage will "let" you work for them one year or longer. You'll be a 1099 contractor, so there's very little fixed cost to having you on their team. What's the commission split? They're liking better that's how they'll get their investment back.
