It's a real estate broker

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is not as bad as it could be.

Cons

It is a traditional real estate broker. They have a business model that does not support the agents. Leads that are generated typically filter to the agents who have the commission splits that offer the most advantage to the broker. Those agents are usually the new and/or mediocre agents who couldn't leverage a better deal elsewhere.

Pros

Coldwell Banker Commercial is a wonderful community of agents, brokers, and executives. Flexibility is the key issue, as there are opportunities to focus your career in whatever direction you want within real estate. Executive management are not distant entities, and they are willing to help however they can.

Cons

Agent positions are independent contractor positions and do not allow for benefits. Working as a leasing agent can only take you as far as your personal/physical limits allow.
