      Leadership that cares

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I worked for New Western Acquisitions for about 9 months and really enjoyed my experience. I cant speak highly enough of the leadership, at least in my office. You go to work every day with your friends. You work so closely with these guys that they become some of your good buddies. The office GM's are particular about who they hire and make sure you will fit in before making any decisions. I found that we had great team chemistry and I could share just about anything with my co-workers. My bosses were guys I felt comfortable coming to with any issue, even non work related ones. Real estate can be a shady business and I can honestly say I never once saw the leadership, or team, engage in any unethical behavior. I have even seen good deals passed up in order to abide by the rules. Every day was a competition, but an amicable one. Not only was the leadership focused on bettering the office, but the individuals in it. You learn the importance of goal setting and organization. They have an annual "corporate" getaway that is a blast. We often had office competitions to better us as people. For example we had a voluntary office fitness competition. Its was fun and we all were all better because of it. These guys like to have fun. Work hard play hard pretty much sums up the mentality of most NWA team members. At the end of the day the GM's will be very honest with you and are very much concerned with your well being. If you are driven, competitive and capable of being organized this job could certainly be for you.

      Cons

      If you aren't organized and fail to set personal goals you likely wont make it. You aren't supposed to work in wholesaling for a couple years if you leave. But trust me, I have seen the competition, and if you leave it will be because wholesaling just isn't for you, not because another wholesale firm is more desirable. As far as this field goes, New Western is the place to be.

      Pros

      You will be introduced to wholesaling, which can be done on your own.

      Cons

      I will be suing this company for their inability to pay my commission on a transaction I completed.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’d like to start by addressing the pros. Yes, you are introduced to wholesaling, but you also have to keep in mind that you are being trained by one of the fastest growing and one of the biggest residential real estate investment firms in the nation. We not only train our new associates extremely well with our 2 week very in depth training program plus we offer continuing education classes weekly, but we train them to maximize their fullest potential by providing the leads for you as well, teaching you how to find your own leads on top of that, creating a fun office culture/atmosphere, regular team outings, allowing you the flexibility to be your own boss, uncapped commissions which leads to unlimited income and so much more. Our Acquisitions Associates also provide the Sales Associates with all of the properties which allows a new agent to focus on solely building their relationships with investors and selling properties. We’re sorry to hear that you feel you were not compensated fairly. And for anyone looking for a career opportunity like ours, be advised that we don’t believe in handouts. We believe in hard work, dedication, perseverance, and above all – commitment. We do not compensate someone should they choose to leave before the transaction is completed. We have extremely high standards here at New Western Acquisitions, and take great pride in the people we hire, although we don’t always hit the mark every time. Again, thank you for taking the time to write this review. Good luck to you in your endeavors.

      Pros

      I worked at New Western Acquisitions for about 3 years. Like everyone who works here I started as a Dispositions Agent and worked my way up to Acquisitions. If you are looking to pursue a career in real estate then I would definitely recommend this company. You will learn a lot about the industry very quickly and be involved in more transactions than any new real estate agent. The culture is young and fun. While it is competitive sales, everyone is extremely supportive and truly happy when others succeed. Every general manager I knew was awesome and did everything they could to help their employees grow, succeed, and make as much money as possible. The company itself is growing rapidly so there is plenty of opportunity to climb the ranks quickly if you can perform, and performance is rewarded well $$$

      Cons

      This is a commission only sales job so success is based on performance. In the beginning it's a grind. Don't expect to only work 4-5 hours per day and make tons of money. However if you put in the work, build relationships, and learn from the experienced agents, then things get smoother and your income will jump up. Each year I worked there I made significantly more than the year before. Also, transaction management can be stressful. You are dealing with distressed properties so challenges can and do pop up in escrow. Fortunately the senior agents are always there to provide guidance if you ask for it.
