ERA Realty Network launches $1m startup grant

New real estate salespersons need to pay $100 in administrative and materials fees to join the network.

ERA Realty Network unveiled a $1m start-up grant to help real estate salespersons (RES) transit into the industry, following the completion of the RES examination by the Council of Estate Agencies in February, an announcement revealed.

Dubbed the New RES Start-Up Grant, the grant will aid in offsetting the joining fees for 2019 that will cost ERA a sum of $563.50 per agent, comprising of an admin fee for 2019 ($53.50), registration fee for 2019 ($230), compulsory work kit for 2019 ($180) and an additional $100 subsidy for its compulsory skills-based training for new RES called the Ultimate AccelERAtion Mastery that costs $200.

It will also reportedly offset the renewal fees for the following year which will cost ERA a sum of $463.50 per agent, comprising of an admin Fee of $53.50, a registration fee of $230 and compulsory work kit priced at $180.

“New RES looking to join ERA will only need to pay a token sum of $100 for the administrative and materials fee of the compulsory start-up programme instead of the total sum of $1,127,” ERA Realty Network said in a statement. “Given global economic uncertainty, this start-up grant comes in handy for the weak labour market that has been affected by the fast-paced technological change and companies undergoing re-organisations, mergers and acquisitions this year.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
