Real Estate One

I find real estate a challenge with immeasurable rewards.  Each day is different and I enjoy having to think on my feet and navigate through the obstacles that come with each new transaction.

The management at Real Estate One 1st, has always been there for training, support and advice.  I feel extremely lucky to be surrounded by so many experienced Brokers and fellow sales people.

It's hard to watch a transaction that falls apart for one reason or another but, sometimes it can't be helped.  However, the reward of being able to witness the look on someone's face when they step into a house at their first showing and realize at that moment, this isn't just a house, but it's their new home.  That is priceless.

I am forever indebted to the staff for their training, patience and support over the years.  It has allowed me to become confident in my abilities and hopefully an asset to my Broker and most importantly to my clients.

Real Estate One 1st, LLC is a great place to work.

I began working at the Alpena branch as soon as it opened. I was responsible for helping the new real estate agents move in and was responsible for updating all their listings to several online data bases as well as helping run fundraiser events.Most days involved a lot of database entry with the occasional errand to run such as obtaining keys from other offices and getting pictures of new listings. 

Management was very flexible and worked around my school schedule as well as let me come and go as work was completed. The co-workers were great to deal with. Almost everyone there was much older and more experienced than me but treated me with respect.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with how mundane data entry would get after a few hours. I was able to get around this sometimes by volunteering to run errands for the agents. The best part of the job was all the social interactions that came with it and the feeling of the business as a family. We would host many potluck style events at the office where friends and family would all come together to enjoy a parade or another event.

As a Realtor I am an independent contractor. I work for myself. My typical day consists of developing and following up on real estate leads, searching for homes for buyers, negotiating sales for my clients, writing purchase agreements, addendums and other documentation and marketing my business.
Being in RealEstate has taught me negotiating skills, patience, customer service, conflict management and to pay close attention to details.  
I have very supportive co-workers at RealEstate One. I have encountered other Realtors at other agencies to be difficult to work with but that has taught me how to resolve conflicts in a productive manner.
The hardest part of the job is investing in clients that may not end up purchasing a home or having sellers that will not do their part to ensure their home is sellable to todays consumer.
The most enjoyable part of the job is helping my clients achieve the American Dream of owning a home and helping them achieve their personal and financial goals when selling or buying real estate.

Place is very behind from an IT perspective. No one there has your best interests and not interested in improvements to their infrastructure and keep blaming everyone else instead of making the move to improve and working with others. There is no team mentality. You will not be able to work with co-workers on tasks and you are mainly left on your own. Management has a very specific way they want you to do things which is never written down. Co-workers and management are very passive aggressive and will talk behind your back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was fortunate enough to work at the corporate location. The atmosphere and the people in it are professional, warm and welcoming. It’s here that you find yourself surrounded by people who, in the best of ways, will challenge you to continually grow and improve. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Real estate is cyclical, so there were many challenges as an employee of Real Estate One in this market. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a pleasant environment and the culture is welcoming and supportive.

Company has many opportunities available for new and existing Realtor's to help them become the best in their field. However, Realtor's will pay extensively for these services and should have some financial foundation to help support themselves until their client base takes off, which could take several years. Additionally, customers are unrealistic with their expectations, of both the purchasing and selling process and often expect Realtor to work for less money.

I must say that my year and a half there was VERY different, there was no instruction and training for my position. The manager/broker of the office was terrible, for her to be as old as she is, she belittled the agents behind their backs, talked down to them, and had absolutely no managerial skills. I loved the agents and enjoyed working for the company as a whole, bu the office I worked in was was terrible. I informed corporate of the managers demeanor and attitude toward the employees and agents twice and nothing was done.

As a Realtor you are required to aid clients throughout the entire real estate transaction. It is 100% commission based with a split between you and your broker. This is common as it is a sales job. The income is inconsistent which is also fairly common in this type of job. As a new Realtor with very little experience my more experienced colleagues were more than forthcoming with any information or assistance I needed. I would strongly recommend this company to any new aspiring real estate agents.

I worked as a personal assistant and loved it. My boss was a multi-million dollar producer who was in the top 3% of realtors in the entire country. My daily work consisted of answering phones, scheduling appointments, providing information to clients, entering listing data on the computer, preparing listing and closing packets, assisting with extensive market research, mailings, helping with open houses, showings, walk-throughs and more. 

Very rewarding experience if you have the right boss. :)

Good company to start your career. The Real Estate Agents  are fantastic. You will get entry level experience to build your resume and that will prepare you to move on to a different company that will value your contributions as a team member. Company culture needs improvement. NOTE: Raises are few and far between, so remember to negotiate for as much money as possible before you accept a position with this Company.
