Coldwell Banker reviews

Lately the company seems to be going in the wrong direction. Lots of extra work for Realtors to do with paperwork. Splits are bad. After two or three years it is counter productive to stay. VERY CORPORATE. High referral fees for deals not facilitated by them. Another Realtor and myself discussed we were not getting leads off our listings. The other Realtor found out many of the leads were given away to another agent, and that agent and myself were able to take our leads. Now if this other agent sells that person something they have to pay an extra 35%. I was not getting many of my own leads, and only got low quality leads I had to pay 35% on in return. My own leads would have been my regular split. (Not my spilt and an extra 35%.) Have a seniority date in the middle of the year and watch out. You can have a great Jan- to Dec, but If your seniority date is say July or August your split can be dropped down a lot. They also seem to be letting too many newbies in, and focus on them more than seasoned agents. It was just time to go.

Real estate is a tough industry to break into and it can take a long time to create the proper network. Unpaid, no benefits and you pay for your own advertising resources.
