Real Estate Broker Test

When looking to fill a real estate broker position, it's important to make sure that the candidate has the skills necessary to do the job. A real estate broker skills test can help ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the position.

  • What is a real estate broker skills test?

    The real estate broker skills test is a pre-employment assessment that focuses on the skills, competencies and aptitudes that are necessary for success in a role as a real estate broker.

    The multiple-choice test is taken online by the candidates via an email link, and every candidate has the same opportunity to demonstrate that they have what it takes to be successful in the role, in the job-related skills that actually count. This includes taking the knowledge they have acquired through education and experience and being able to apply it in a work-related scenario, as well as showing that they have the soft skills to fit in with the culture and values of the organization.

    For the recruitment team, the real estate brokers skills test is a simple way to filter through a large number of applicants, with the test results forming essential data points that can be used to choose the candidates who have demonstrated that they have what it takes.

  • What are the benefits of using the real estate broker skills test for pre-screening?

    A real estate broker is usually someone who has a few years of experience as a real estate agent and has passed all relevant licensing - which means that these are the criteria used as part of the paper sift when reading through CVs and application forms.

    However, a CV or application form cannot tell the recruitment team how well a candidate can organize their workload and lead others, how good they are at negotiating, and how well they can give advice to sellers and buyers - and these are often the skills that make the difference between a successful hire and an expensive mistake.

    Real estate brokers are the oversight when it comes to real estate transactions. They often manage a team of real estate agents and work with both buyers and sellers to ensure a successful exchange of contracts.

    To be successful as a real estate broker, a candidate needs to be able to demonstrate that they have excellent leadership skills as well as notable communication and interpersonal skills. They need to be familiar with real estate law and regulations, of course, but perhaps more importantly they need to be able to provide outstanding customer service, even in times of stress.

    These skills are not easy to glean from a CV or an application form. Resumes don't show the full picture of how competent a candidate is in the so-called soft skills - and this can even be difficult to assess in an interview situation.

    With the real estate broker test, each candidate is given the same opportunity to answer the same questions, so they can demonstrate their level of competency and aptitude in the specific job-related skills that the recruitment team is looking for.

    From the results, the recruiters can choose the candidates that are most likely to be successful, with unbiased and quantifiable data that takes the guesswork (and the possibility of personal bias) out of the equation.

    Using the real estate broker test can save the recruitment team time and money in the application process by reducing the number of applicants to the highest qualified in terms of education, experience, and soft skills - which in turn reduces the possibility of a bad hire.

How our test measures real estate broker skills

Test questions are designed to assess industry-specific technical skills, soft skills, aptitude and suitable personality dimensions. Our data-driven approach provides results that enable you to determine how suited is a candidate for the role.

Depending on the type of question, the format of the test may vary. Multiple-choice questions are used to measure aptitude, technical skills and soft skills, while agreement on a Likert scale assesses suitable personality dimensions. Skills tests ensure that candidates are being evaluated in a precise and impartial manner, their results demonstrating the true knowledge and potential of each test taker.

The characteristics required to be a real estate broker were determined by looking at the skills and abilities listed in the US Department of Labor’s O*NET database, which collects data from professionals in various fields.

O*NET is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed information about occupations and the requirements for each role.

Our team of I/O psychologists and psychometrics worked closely with subject-matter experts to create an extensive question bank that can be used to test multiple candidates. We also conducted rigorous field testing with a representative sample of candidates to ensure that the questions were reliable and valid.

Test scores are averaged together to give an overall score. The average score is compared to other candidates' scores to ensure there is no bias toward certain candidates.

Our real estate broker test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.

Real Estate Broker Test FAQs

What makes a good real estate broker?

A good real estate broker needs to oversee the sales process to a conclusion, supporting both buyers and sellers. They often lead a team of real estate agents, and need to be organized with excellent attention to detail as well as an eye for design.

Can I use this test to assess soft skills?

This test is designed to be used to assess soft skills that are not easy to assess through a resume or in an interview, especially the so-called soft skills. There are other soft skills tests that can be used if you want to focus more specifically on something - like communication or leadership, for example.
