I just passed the realty agent exam and now needed to be listed with a broker in order to be officially licensed and begin business. But I got mixed info on how easy/difficult it is to ger hired by brokers....so is it true that they basically take anyone who passes the exam and applies? Or, they just as picky as all other employer?

It's not hard, just be aware of who you go with, as some of them make you pay to have a desk, advertising, cards, and a mentor. Yes, you have to pay for a mentor in some places, they won't let you sell without this "training". In such a bad real estate market, maybe you should take this on as a part time thing until the market gets better. Not much is moving in NJ and foreclosures are up 68% from last year. I don't mean to scare you, but he was very successful until the market bottomed out.

They will take anyone because YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN, AND THEY DO NOT PAY YOU A SALARY.
In fact many brokerages CHARGE YOU to hang your license there.
The risk is very limited on their part since no money is coming out of their pocket.
Too many people entering this business thinks it's just like going to work for a large company.
WRONG!
It more like starting your own business from scratch.
Hope this helps!

I agree with the advice offered by the other answerer about being careful about what they make you pay for, but I'll add the following...
Generally real estate brokers (and car dealerships) will hire many people every year for sales. The ones who aren't good at it will drop out pretty quickly because they make no money. This leaves them with good sales people because only the people who make money can stick with it.
good luck!

2 Years journey is on no account needed - prepare to the roles, and you would be employed or no longer based on your interview. whether, additionally be attentive to, that interviews are few and lots between, so, deliver one hundred resumes, and be happy in case you get 2 interviews. yet another decision, is State Farm or Farmers, they are relatively the marketplace proving floor, and hire newly approved brokers each and every of the time. try each and every advert that demands a FL 220, and are not getting discouraged, somebody will see your skill, and handle board.
