Tempted by 'temp-to-hire?'
By Matt Carter, Tuesday, June 17, 2008.Bookmarking Sites
Got a real estate license and a car? Temp agency JWilliamsStaffing says homebuilders in California, Nevada and Arizona want you on a temp or "temp-to-hire" basis -- "no experience necessary."
The company says it supplies "temporary sales assistants" to more than 350 homebuilders, "from the largest national builders to regional and local companies."
Right now, they've got openings in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Reno, and a bunch of California markets -- Orange County, Inland Empire, Visalia, Imperial Valley, Marin, South San Francisco, Yuba City, Pittsburg, San Ramon, Bakersfield, Fairfield, and Daly City.
This posting for an opening in scenic Marin suggests you might be interested if you are "tired of resale and loans" or have "ever wondered how to become a new home sales agent."
Anybody who's taken this route have advice for those who are considering it?

I guess this would work for some agents that are being hurt by the market.

I've never been a new home salesperson, but a friend of mine was and told me that when the market was down it was boredom-city. I guess you could read or do your taxes, but you are clearly stuck sitting in the model all day with maybe no company.

Wow, that's pretty crazy. I guess some agents around the country are hurting pretty bad. Hopefully things will turn around very soon for them.

It will take more than out-of-work agents to move inventory in NV and AZ.
