Review from Sales Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Theyre very well versed and experienced. All ways available to assist.
Their genuine and are supportive professionally.
They seem focused on helping agents be successful though it appears the corporate directive is less one-on-one than it used to be
Review from Sales Dept
Can't really say, as they have so little impact on us att he agent level.
They respond to my questions.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leading, training, mentoring, being overall helpful
Ceo and Manger need to stop extreme micro-managing
Review from Marketing Dept
I do not feel the company has my best interest at heart. The president of the state I am in has never been a Realtor, only an attorney for a real estate company.
Review from Sales Dept
The leadership team needs to get better at finding ways to positively motivate employees.
Leadership needs to get better at addressing the concerns and issues of a specific office instead of trying to apply the same cookie-cutter corporate policies nationwide. Management needs to be more effective - we had a great manager until our office went corporate and it's been downhill ever since.
Review from Admin Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Retirement benefits and variable pay scale.
I am an agent and I am paid a good split
Review from Sales Dept
The bonus structure- although improvements can always be made!
Commissions are very substantial and paid in timely manner
Review from Sales Dept
My commission splits are excellent
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Honesty and integrity are very important
Review from Sales Dept
I knew going in I would be self-employed. However, the mandatory fees on top of the commission split are very high. For example, we have a $60 monthly desk fee, a $25 monthly technology fee, a $595 annual legal defense fee, and a 3% commission fee on top of whatever our split agreement is.
Less trinkets, coffe mugs etc...more money
Adjust for cost of living. Very underpaid compared to industry standards, resulting in very high turnover that the company is ignoring.
Review from Marketing Dept
Similar positions at other companies pays a lot better and allows employees to work from home.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We are great at working together. We all have the skill sets to compliment and support each other. More likely to work together as a team than compete for a transaction.
They are always supportive. We are willing to refer clients when we know another agent is a better fit for them. We respect each other's differences and use them to build the team not tear down the individual.
Knowledge, Positivity, Motivational, Encouraging, Sense of Humor.
Review from Sales Dept
All hard workers, all here to help each other out
Review from Marketing Dept
At the beginning it was all coworkers that worked their way up, butbefore i left it was a lot of kids with barely any experience.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Honesty and integrity is very important
Review from Sales Dept
We are in competition with each other. The meetings are a waste of time. Since they reconfigured the office, taking down privacy walls and bookshelves and not allowing assigned desks I just quit going to the office at all, as there is no reason to do so.
tremendous experience should be shared by all
I like most of the coworkers I see on a day to day basis, but I need my actual team back. I can't do this much administrative work on my own, especially during the busiest time of the year.

Review from Admin Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Managing broker was very transparent
Review from Sales Dept
It was not your typical interview process where you were sat in a room with a multitude of people. The interview was more of an intimate one on one in a neutral environment. But, I believe that has changed as well.
Review from Sales Dept
It was not a sure thing that they were going to take just anyone, they were selective and want to hire the very best.
Review from Sales Dept
The manager was very engaging and professional
Review from Sales Dept
I like to be honest transparent and sharing the best parts about working with Coldwell Banker realty
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Let candidates know if they didn't get the job. That's very basic
Review from Marketing Dept
They interview but theres no follow up if tou werent chosen.
What makes you most happy at work?
Speaking with people and sharing my experience, skills and resources to help them succeed.
The company brand and name and products offered
Helping agents and watching both experienced and new agents grow their business.
Review from Sales Dept
Getting people into their homes. And knowing that we didn't have to sacrifice integrity or them being informed decision makers to do so!
Being able to help people buy houses
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
As I said, I'm expected to do the work of three people. I need help. I also need better management. Our current manager can't even get his own documents signed and returned on time, and then I get blamed for sending them late.
