Pros

Benefits, 401k match, and office amenities that’s it.

Cons

Working at Homes.com has been a frustrating experience, to say the least. The product they sell is not effective, and it’s clear that even the agents are aware of it. You’re essentially offering a service that doesn’t work, and that becomes evident when clients don’t see any results. What’s worse is that when agents fulfill their contracts but don’t renew, Homes.com takes chargebacks from their commission, which feels incredibly unfair. The workload is grueling – you’re expected to handle 60-80 calls a day, on top of completing two demos daily. This kind of pressure leaves little room for anything else, and it quickly becomes unsustainable. As for the product itself, the only real benefits are the exposure and the virtual tours, but even those can’t make up for the lack of real results. There’s no real value in what you’re selling other than the illusion of it. If you’re considering a move to Richmond, be aware that the job market there is far from great, and it might not be the best place to find opportunities outside of Homes.com. Overall, save yourself the frustration and find something more rewarding than being gaslighted into believing you’re selling something that works.

Pros

You cannot beat the health insurance price, great base salary, and 401K match. Nice coworkers and management. Having coffee stations and food nearby is nice when you have time to take advantage of that.

Cons

You are expected to make 60-80 cold calls per day. It doesn't matter if you have 3-4 demos on that day, the expectations remain the same. I inherited accounts from past reps that were are very unhappy with the product because they were sold incorrectly and not taken care of. I am now penalized out of my paycheck because these people want to cancel their membership, without even having spoken to them one time in my life. This product does not work for a lot of agents we sell to. A lot of agents have a very bad taste in their mouth about Homes.com, so it makes it difficult to ask them to pay $1,000 +/mo on a product that 5 other agents told them to stay away from/don't waste their money. I feel like a machine every day I go in there, I hardly ever take a lunch because we have so much to do. More than half of the sales associates do not hit quota, so do not go in thinking it is easy to do. It is very easy to start feeling negative when you see the same people over and over again closing huge deals when you are doing the same exact presentation as they are. You very easily sink or swim in this position. If you are not closing sales and making additional money, it is not a fun job. I'd rather work somewhere else for less money and keep my sanity. To make 70 calls a day and not see success from it starts to really make you miserable. If you take this job, you must prepare yourself for all of this. Oh, and if you don't live in the city of Richmond, have fun with the commute. The traffic is bad every morning and evening- turns a 20 min drive to 40 easily.
