CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fair health benefits Approachable management Mr Horton himself visits the communities Excellent product!!

Cons

Severely low pay compared to a regular real estate agent. For example we get paid 1.25% of a deal. The buyer agent gets 4% and a 2k bonus. Yet we do all the work. Very low draw. Management works you to death No weekends They work you even on your days off. Long Hours....Example: You have to open at certain times, but clients can get their at the last minute and keep you well into the night and the time is not repaid to you. Very high turnover. We have replaced 70% of our sales force in the last 12 months Its not so much about the customers as it is the money/contracts

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good.

Cons

You have to be responsible for having their office open during business hours but you do not make an hourly wage for this, you are 100% commission. This means it is difficult to go out within the community to connect with Realtors and buyers unless you do it on your own time or over the phone. Some of the management spoke down to sales staff and no matter how much you sold, they demanded more..more...more. There was NO training and sales staff at our communities fumbled through computer programs and pricing for upgrades. Could never get a straight answer on anything.
