Once you submit your online resume, a C21 careers representative will contact you and provide you with the web address to inform you of the necessary steps required in your province.

The time to obtain a real estate license varies by province and also depends on your aptitude and ability to master the licensing requirements. In some cases, there may be pre-licensing courses available and some local C21 brokers do offer tutorial sessions to assist with the licensing process. A C21 careers representative will be able to provide further details.

In most provinces you must be 19 years of age, have a high school diploma or equivalency and you must demonstrate English language proficiency. The costs associated with getting a real estate license vary in each province and you will be required to pay for the appropriate pre-licensing materials along with the exam and licensing fees.

Generally speaking, a career as a REALTOR® means that you are an independent contractor working on commission and are responsible for many of your own expenses and the position does not offer a salary. However, some local C21 brokers do provide training and start-up commission advances or draws against pending commissions. This policy is completely up to the local C21 broker and it is recommended that you speak directly to the broker regarding this possibility.

If sales positions are not right for you but you still want to be part of the fun, energetic C21 System, individual local C21 offices may have needs for staff positions, typically administrative or even managerial. It is recommended that you speak directly to a local C21 broker in your area to inquire about non-sales related positions.
