As a leasing agent it the leasing agent's responsibility to search for clients. Communicate with landlords. Ensure the showings were in good condition. Customer service is necessary in order to follow through with a leasing contract. I was responsible for driving clients to different locations and showings. I was responsible for managing myself. Being a leasing agent is a 24 hour job. I was constantly posting new listings and old listing to several social network outlets. It is imperative a leasing agent makes and manages their contacts as well as they can. Additional research about the neighborhoods are required in order to be able to close the deal, for example knowledge  of where the nearest grocery store is located and local nightlife. I learned in order to be successful in business you can only rely on yourself. Your appearance and marketing strategy will mature with more time spent in the field. The hardest part of the job was when you think you have a client that is about to sign a lease and you spend more time with this client to discover they do not need a place to live. The most enjoyable part of the job was that I had an opportunity to express my customer service skills, sales, and marketing skills.

The company has a long history and has evolved into a notable competitor. The corporate structure is such that they are paid from the fees and commissions of the independent contractors so they consistently get good workplace awards. The Brokerage locations are well-equipped with on-going training and updates. The agents are independent contractors and competitors to one another. The environment in the office is a mix of cooperation, support and fierce competition with your fellow associates. Our office has a choice of large cubicles, shared semi-private offices of 3-4 desks. Conference rooms have large monitors and a video studio with green screen.
Black and white and 2 color printers are for all to use as part of a desk/tech fee. Occasionally group parties and team-building games/activities are conducted. The company as a whole offers a party at an offsite location and a trip to an international resort for those who meet certain production requirements.

I started as a part time administrative assistant with Baird & Warner. The company allowed me to be promoted to full time when the opportunity arose. I was able to freely work and go above and beyond my job expectations to achieve higher performance goals for myself. My manager always acknowledged this and consistently show his appreciation for me doing above what was required for my job. I moved out of state so I had to resign from my position. If ever I was back in the area I would love to work for the company and my old manager again!

If you are family, you will succeed there. High producers are taken care of, new agents are encouraged to work with family of managing broker to share commission. Struggling agents are ignored and reprimanded to make more money for the company.  Agents are all encouraged to keep all mortgage and title business within the company.

Supremely unprofessional office manager who treats the workspace as a babyshower or coffee clutch.

My experience with Baird and Warner was mostly positive and enjoyable, In general Real Estate Sales is very stressful and unpredictable and ultimately this is why I left the industry. You need to keep your license active and even though your an independent contractor you still do answer to a manager. I got tired of working hours that I was not compensated for and having to spend money on my listings. You are on call for clients and that included weekends and holidays I wanted to go back to a more traditional job experience.

Being in real estate, I was not technically employed by Baird & Warner but was self-contracted.  It is a wonderful place to work and is a company that really appreciates those individuals who work for it.  The specific location I am at has very helpful and friendly people, and the Managing Broker and his staff are fantastic trainers and teachers.  The most difficult part of the career has been generating business.

The culture in the office I work is for the most part if you ask you shall receive.  They have all the tools necessary for an agent to be successful but you are definitely NOT handed anything there.  They do provide a good culture to build relationships but office to office it becomes tribal.  Meaning they all compete against one another.  Management is good at the two offices I know but make sure you speak out and ask for help or you won't receive it.  

Baird & Warner gives you every edge and opportunity it can provide to ensure you are the best Real Estate Broker you can be. I have worked elsewhere and interviewed at many other brokerages but came back to call Baird and Warner my home. I love working with them and will continue as long as I am a real estate broker.

Baird and Warner provides great work environment. It’s easier to do your work when you have a life outside of work. They provide the necessary tools and training for agents to be successful and efficient. Coaching and training is readily available for new and experienced agents.
