Pros
They are on the cutting edge of technology and will invest in products, software etc. that our competitors' brokers will not necessarily spend money on. They are very much a "people" company and despite the fact that we are now 500+ agents and employees, it retains a family type atmosphere. It is also a nurturing environment with a positive vibe in the air and folks who are happy to stop what they are doing and help you with your problem or endeavor. They foster a can do spirit and accomplishments are celebrated at every opportunity. It is a very well known brand; having been in the real estate business for over 100 years. It is also a company recognized for having agents who are knowledgeable, experienced and most importantly, are of the highest integrity. In many markets, they are the best trained bar none. If you are a person who cares about credibility, client satisfaction, company investment in you and the tools necessary for your success while providing the ideal environment in which to flouish; then I would highly recommend this company.
Cons
It is a straight commission pay structure. You have to budget and plan accordingly. There is no manager to micromanage you. You must be self driven and motivated.
