Pros

This job changed my life and brought me to a new financial level. You can make a 6 figure income in commission annually without investing any of your own money to marketing or getting leads. Benefits, medical insurance, 401 K plan, opportunity to buy company's stocks with a discount, they pay your Real estate annual fees, they pay for your marketing and networking events, they reimburse all your lunches and other goodies you bring to Realtors to market them, so outside Realtors bring you leads.

Cons

it's hard. no days off. Even if you are officially off, you'll be working either from home or having showings or doing networking events that are in most cases mandatory. it's not just sitting in the model home and selling homes to walk-ins.... LOL it's a LOT of networking and marketing outside Realtors to bring you leads. Most top outside Realtors are being very loyal to particular D. R. Horton agents who've been with the company longer. Sales quotas: if you don't meet the quota, you have a couple of chances to get better and start selling more. They give you time to get used to the new position though and give you time to start selling more.

Pros

You get paid well. The more you care, the better the reputation you will create and the better the clients will be.

Cons

Depending on community you get it can be more of a grind and take some time to get it running the way it needs to be. The drive to a community may be far from your house.

Pros

Cannot name any pros. There are good qualities for certain not all bad here but must be a well embedded figure in the real estate industry here in central VA. OR you must know managment personally... The HSA ia nice for certain but thats it

Cons

I strongly caution potential employees about this company due to significant issues with management and pay structure: - Employees are classified as W2 in Virginia but receive no base pay, meaning all income relies on lead generation. This creates immense pressure without guaranteed compensation and this also includes your insurance. if you have no pending commissions the corp office will call and ask you to pay for your insurance so be careful to even enroll.. - The requirement to be present in the model from 10 AM to 6 PM without pay is a burden, especially since leads are not provided, forcing employees to perform outreach without compensation. Which would be okay if they had traffic or plan to create traffic but its all on you 100% no excuses or exceptions unless you are good with management which is not based on preformace like management claims. - Management is inconsistent and often unresponsive, leading to frustration. There is a clear lack of loyalty even towards upper management, with many feeling unsupported and undervalued. - Favoritism is prevalent, with senior representatives enjoying privileges that are not extended to others. This creates an unfair environment where performance standards seem to apply selectively. - The overall morale is undermined by poor management practices, with managers openly complaining about the director of sales while providing contradictory statements regarding rules and expectations depending on who you are OR who you know If you are a good sales rep, don’t waste your time here. Seek opportunities where your talents will be recognized and rewarded.
