Overall my experience at Coldwell Banker has been excellent and their name recognition is unsurpassed. Their purchase of Zip Realty was a wise business decision. - Anonymous employee Coldwell Banker Employee Review

Pros

From a marketing standpoint there is no known real estate agency better than Coldwell Banker which advertises listed property on numerous websites and in newsprint.

Cons

Many real estate brokers fail in their first year there because of the high cost for their marketing fees and E and O Insurance when there is very limited revenue coming in the first year. All realtors face heavy MLS and Sentrilock fees also.

Pros

Recognition due to the name

Cons

Although we are independent contractors,the broker continues to micromanage and it’s unbelievable how much money they take from our commissions.

Pros

I loved working with the agents. It was a good way to get into marketing especially if you have real estate experience.

Cons

There is no upwards mobility. This company invests heavily into diversity and if you are not part of a certain demographic, you will not get promoted. There were also frequent layoffs while I was there.
