Lots of Bait and Switch

Pros

People at the corporate office in Northbrook are nice, including the president. Easy to get in and out of there without overtime.

Cons

Everything else was horrible. HR was a joke. Lots of bait and switch. Expectations for a certain level of quality and production, but absolutely no resources ($) allocated to reach that potential.

Pros

Coldwell Banker is cutting edge in their marketing support of their agents. They offer educational sessions on line and in person every day on one topic or another. I have a lovely place to work and there is always someone to answer any questions about transactions with people or paperwork.

Cons

Like any real estate company, an agent is responsible to creating all their own business. When you do get a company referral, such as through relocation (CB works with the biggest relo co in the US), the fee is usually 30%-50% of the commission the agent makes, plus the cut that CB already takes.
