A new season of Top Agent for local real estate firm

Working for the McMonigle Group, an international real estate firm in Newport Beach, may seem like an unattainable dream for many young agents.

McMonigle hosted its first “Top Agent” competition last fall, sending a select group of applicants through four weeks of grueling training before one contender won a job with the firm. This spring, company founder John McMonigle plans to start a new round with “Top Agent 2.”

“The first Top Agent program exceeded our expectations by presenting us with an amazing group of real estate talents and our ultimate Top Agent, Paul Benec,” McMonigle said in a news release. “We are eager to select our next group of candidates for Top Agent 2.”

Contestants, who must be licensed to practice real estate in California, must submit their applications to the McMonigle Group by April 15. The finalists will receive training with industry veterans, perform in judged competitions and pitch homes to customers.
