Pros

The Coldwell Banker name has a national recognition and marketing campaign. Decent commission splits after you prove yourself and work there long enough. Good training program.

Cons

Very High Costs/Fees to "work" at Coldwell Banker. Promised lead generation did not produce leads. After being hired, there is little support to help you succeed. Must pay for marketing material.

Superb training, support, and brand, but it comes at a cost to your commission!

Business Outlook

Pros

*Fantastic training and opportunities to learn. *Management seems to genuinely care about your success. *Despite everyone being independent contractors, there is a culture of helping and mentorship amongst competing Realtors.

Cons

*Commission structure is poor. You certainly pay a lot for the support and training. *Added fees that sometimes make working there frustrating. *New Realtors earn a 50% commission and then they tack on administrative fee of 6% on each transaction. After you've shown compentency to make money the commission structure gets marginally better. *Desk fees and technology fees add up, but is manageable. *You'll need at least 6 months before you make your first commission. They are up front of this and if you don't know that then don't go into Real Estate.
