Carpenter Realtors

As real estate companies go, Carpenter is one of the best.  They offer great deal of training for new agents, in addition to ongoing training. They also offer a lot of other perks that other companies don't - such as no desk fees, co-op marketing fees, etc.  

My one criticism is that the real estate market overall is very unstable. Also, during the worst part of the downturn in 2009, Carpenter raised it's standard commission/marketing fee to sellers to 7% without room for negotiation.  This has and will continue to cost Realtors listings.  Even as the market continues to slowly rise back on its feet, there are other companies that can offer much more competitive rates - while keeping fees and expenses low for their Realtors.

Great company with almost 50 years of success. Down-to-earth, hardworking, family-friendly offices with attentive managers and co-workers. This is a place where you can learn to build a successful, long-term career that can be whatever you want it to be.

There are people who have taken advantage of all of the training offered and have grown their personal business to a level where they're earning more than they ever thought possible and maintaining flexibility in their lives.

This is a great place for anyone who values relationships, likes to work with people and wants to be their own boss.

I obtained my license and went immediately to work for Carpenter Realtors.  I really liked their business approach, support and available use of facility.  As an Independent Contractor however, I felt like there was to much pressure put on us to spend time in the office.  They provided "desk time" which purpose was to give agents the opportunity to get new leads. I liked this philosophy but soon learned that it was really a waste of time that no longer had available to waste.

Commission and work life balance are really up to you as a 1099 employee.  My coworkers and managers have all been really nice and the initial training program was great but after that, expect to be completely 100% on your own.  I feel like I'm inconveniencing my manager every time I ask a question which is unfortunate since there's a lot of legal liability on the line.  I'm also in the reserves and every time I have a training, it's like pulling teeth to find people to help me out with my clients.

I could build a business anywhere, but Carpenter's culture and leadership team provides the environment I need to excel!  The ongoing training and help with personal development is timely.  The office personel is cooperative and positive and made up of professionals.   Office support staff is very responsive-a real bonus during busy season.

This can be a challenging, difficult business that can test the most positive person at times, so working with people I trust and admire has been a key factor in my success.

If you are ok with being actually being yelled at, then this may be the job for you.  Mix in other employees that won’t fill out paperwork properly, along with unforgiving types that hold a grudge if you make a mistake, and it’s the perfect storm.  If you like to do the same thing every day with slight variations and can handle being mistreated, you may actually like working here.  Or you could have a really thick skin and do just fine as well.  Not a job for the sensitive types.

A typical day at work is a very pleasant surrounding.  I learned my job from experience; how to work as a team and accept additional responsibilities. The management was very helpful.  My co-workers and I were very supportive of each other. 
The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the paperwork that was involved with each and every transaction.
The most enjoyable part of my job was the satisfaction of cooperating with everyone involved in my job.

Awesome place to work for, dynamic and energetic team.  Focused on education and keeping abreast with trends and technology in the real estate industry.  While striving to ensure that we are competitive in the local real estate market. Team support as well as individual support from managers and co-workers.  Fun, vibrant setting.

While Carpenter Realtors has excellent training, free branding, and a supportive office environment, it was difficult for me to generate leads.  Carpenter did provide suggestions to generate leads but the business is difficult.  As a new agent, I struggled to generate leads on my own and could not afford to buy leads from Zillow or other companies.

Carpenter Realtors is fun but it is filled with hard work, you start your day with a plan for your future, you work very hard to reach your goals. Carpenter Realtors provides excellent training and materials to reach your goals. Very pleased to be a part of this company.
