Pros

Money. You can make good or even big money. Talking about 6 figure annual income. IF YOU SELL!!! Benefits: health insurance, dental, vision included + you can buy company's shares with the discount. Also the company reimburses all expenses on Open Houses, marketing Realtors, snacks for model homes etc. Company pays for your leads, so you don't have to. Company pays for your annual Real Estate fees, so you don't have to. They almost always meet their construction deadlines and almost always close on time, so you can count on your commission paychecks delivered on time. Once one community closes, there is always another one to sell, so they try to make sure you always have inventory to sell. If you Sales Manager is a good and fair person, you are in good hands!

Cons

ONE WORD: EXHAUSTION! High sales quotas. If you don't meet quotas, you're out. Constant fear of losing your job. Exhausted all the time, as to be able to meet your quotas, you work on your days off too, get less vacation time as you need to sell more and market Realtors, so they bring you buyers. High level of competition between agents, which makes it a "cut-throat" environment within the team, trying to steal each other's leads and Realtor connections. Most communities that are in selling locations are taken by Top Producers, as they are favorites, so it's hard for the new ones. A lot of agents simply leave within the first 8 months to a year because of exhaustion. They burn you out. No family time, BUT you make lots of money!!! so if you need to make good money relatively quick (from 1 year up to 3 years), go ahead and do that, but remember that you will most likely need to sacrifice your family time....this job is definitely for strong people who do not afraid of challenges, have high level of energy and never give up.
