New Real Estate Agent - Hawaii

Real estate agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Comprehensive training program with a dedicated branch manager that can help you with anything you may need. Plenty of senior agents that need help with open houses - may lead to co-listing. Lots of opportunity for networking, and further professional training.

Cons

Smaller commission and less personalized training than you might get from a smaller firm. High cost to join and maintain status within the company. Can feel like a Real Estate Agent mill, churning and burning new agents like a machine. Deciding to move on (and stop paying fees to the company) will instantly kill any warm relations you have with them.

Front Desk Rep at a busy Coldwell Banker office

Front desk agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The tasks of a front desk representative are easy to learn and repetitive enough that you can master them quickly. Answering phones, sorting mail, adding listings to the MLS system, receiving and sending titles through the real estate title companies' courier services, etc.

Cons

They ask the front desk representatives to take on many of the things that real estate agents typically do, and at times you feel like a personal assistant to the agents. At the office where I worked, this meant assisting 40+ agents with all kinds of tasks that were not in my job description. Sometimes you are doing the work of a co-listing agent, without receiving any of the commission that a co-listing agent would get. They wring as much work out of you as they can, while promising you that you could "move up" one day. I did not see any evidence of front desk reps ever actually moving up in this office.
