Pros

You will stay busy. There is a lot of good brand exposure and the support staff is great.

Cons

You get 18% of commissions while MSRE keeps the rest. Turnover at the management and agent level is troubling. Nobody stays here more than 6 months. Deceitful business practices relating to the “Guaranteed Offer” that is MSRE’s way to get in your house as most of the homes DO NOT QUALIFY!! They also require you to be present in the office (even though you are a 1099 contractor)

Mark Spain Real Estate Response

Thank you for the feedback! That said, I do have to disagree with a lot of your points. We closed over 700 Guaranteed Offer transactions in 2019 and our clients are happy that we provide multiple options versus just one pathway to sell their home. That said, we are a fast-paced sales culture and are certainly not for everyone. I am sorry you didn't find success in our system. Best of luck to you in the future! -- John Makarewicz

Pros

Some really great people work there Large support staff Great company marketing exposure

Cons

Low integrity among management (words and actions are too often in opposition) Beautiful mission and value statement that is NOT lived out Pressure to make the sale at literally ANY cost... do WHATEVER it takes to get the client to sign "YOUR HOME SOLD, GUARANTEED". It's in all of their marketing. But, I'm not aware of a single client that ever accepted the terms. Clients find it deceptive... because it is. MSRE calls it a marketing hook. Low 18% commission to the agent... company keeps 82%! However, it's possible to negotiate a more favorable agent commission.

Pros

The only reason to work at this company is the fake culture where everyone drinks the koolaid and acts like it is the best job they have ever had. The only reason they do that is because the company is a revolving door and if you do not they will fire you.

Cons

The cons at this company are almost too many to list! Mark Spain is never even at the office except to come in for motivational speeches at the Sales Meeting. He has a guy who runs the company who is the President who lies to everyone every day. We make a very low salary and they promise commissions that they never pay. They have only one person who does the accounting for the whole company and she is overworked and underpaid. They have fired everyone that was ever good that worked at the company and the average time to work here is 6 mos.
