Which agency should i join? Would like to do it part time first, as i currently hold a full time job which is paying the bills. Thanks, Tom.

I'm also interested as well... any forumers here can shed some light on joining any agencies ?? what are the strengths of each agency and what are their focuses... that would be enlightening.

Furthermore, last year, the CES (common exam for salesperson) was introduced as an alternative route for property agent, who just want to remain and do property sales only, without starting own agency. The latter requires passing CEHA, that is the difference between these 2 exams. From my experience, I would suggest you start by "earning and learning the trade" first before attempting to take either of these expensive exams. This is because not every one succeed as property agent, besides, you are only going to do part-time. Nowadays, and to me, it does not make any difference which property agency to join. It is you who has to perform to the earn commission, because the agency does not pay you a salary. Instead, as a rookie, the agency gets a cut of up to 30% of the commission you earn, for the first 3 months for services rended to you. I hope by sharing the above with you, it has answered your questions. If you want any other information or clarification of my comments or other routes to "earning and learning" you can call my mobile.
