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.

Pros

Coldwell Banker is by far the Gold Standard. As a new realtor you need all the help you can get, and their training and broker mentorship are absolutely outstanding. Not to mention their marketing platform is second to none, giving you are large arsenal when going on listing presentations.

Cons

Their fees and splits are a bit high, but when you compare it to paying for everything individually (like at many other offices and brokerages) it really ends up coming out about the same.

Current real estate market has limited opportunities but looks as though it is beginning to turn around. Alot of opportunity in short sales and forclosures.
