Marcus & Millichap Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details they interview the mob...anyone and everyone. They offer only their time...no expenses.
There is required reading and a test that is never referred to in the interview. They don't know what the outdated articles say. It serves to push the onus further on the candidate. They claim they want independant people but the interviews are one sided and they pay for nothing and charge the newly hired $3000. Perhaps their reputation buys this perpsective but not with me. I only see an alliterative name. A company that claims to be computer sophiscated because their first office was in Palo Alto in the 70's.

They don't ask demanding questions and don't offer germaine information about themselves. It's more like a mass recruiting of free drones.

Interview Details I went into this knowing I had very little chance of being hired, seeing that my educational background and experience have very little to do with commercial real estate. However, I saw the position listed on my university careers website. To my surprise, I got called back by the hiring manager within a few hours. In my opinion, the guy had already made up his mind that he wasn't going to hire me before I went in for the interview, so I was kind of disappointed that he wasted my time as well as his own. The interview itself was pretty rough. You better be able to back up everything you say because he asks you "Why?" after every answer you give. He flat out told me that I wasn't a strong candidate towards the end of the interview, which I appreciated, rather than most hiring managers who tell you they will be in contact with you soon. I understand that it's business, never personal, but I would have appreciated it a lot more, however, if they guy didn't have such an arrogant air around him the entire time.

Interview Details One of my friends was an intern at a different department and she got me the interview. The interviewer and I communicated through email to set the appointment. To prepare myself for the interview, I thought about what my "So, tell me about yourself?" answer was going to be so I did not ramble on. I, also, thought about what my strengths and weakness were, and came up with a couple questions to ask the interviewer as well. There was only one interview. It was smooth, comfortable and shorter than expected. The office was beautiful and the people were nice, it seemed like an easy going place to work. They expect someone who shows initiative and is resourceful.

Interview Details I had a sequence of 3 interviews. They want to see that you are aggressive and you follow through. I have heard of a manager not calling back to see that you will take the initiative and make the call again yourself.

Negotiation Details – None

Interview Details You have to attend a presentation conducted by the regional manager and after they call you for an interview. The interview questions are nothing out of the norm. Pretty basic questions and a personality test. After that they will call you and tell you if they like you or not .

Negotiation Details – 100% commission based. No negotiation needed.

Interview Details Initially had a pre-screening phone interview, then was asked to come into the office. Met with several brokers who mostly asked about my resume and experience. Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions and took the time to make sure what would be expected of me.

Reason for Declining – Another firm offered me paid training and a draw. I could have held a part time job in order to support myself at Marcus & Millichap, but I wanted to focus all my time and energy in becoming successful in Investment Sales.

Interview Details I was interviewed by asian and a white lady. Interview was very short . Job seem alright.

Interview Details I applied through CareerBuilder and was called in for an in-person interview after a short preliminary phone conversation. The interviewer stressed the importance of company culture, giving me relatively few opportunities to talk about my skills, but all in all it was pleasant and professional. The interviewer let me know promptly that they had selected another candidate.

Interview Details One interview. Must follow up on your own. Only persistent people get hired here.

Negotiation Details – Commission only, so no real negotiation here. Just convince them that you can make money in order to get hired.
