Smart City Locating

As a contracted employee, you make your own schedule with weekly required meetings you must attend. You learn the basics on what it means to work in real estate such as conducting and scheduling showings, assisting with the leasing process and market knowledge. Workplace culture is "party time" with offices decked out with TV's, games and refrigerators typically filled with random liquor. The environment can at times be distracting if you need to get work done. The hardest part of the job is getting your leads to lease. It's 100% all about client service when you actually get a client who is serious about leasing and doesn't ghost you along the way. Most agents move on to better things outside the company within 3 months due to very little opportunity to make a decent salary. If you interview, I would ask how many agents are consistently making your desired salary.  

the people at smart city are absolutely amazing.  some of the best coworkers I've ever had.  truly they made the job doable at times.  however, that could never compensate for the way their agents are treated.  the metrics the company tracks are not only poor indicators of agent success/client experience, but the way they're calculated to begin with sets the agent up for anxiety and failure.  unless you're willing to bully people into signing a lease quickly, you'll have a hard time here.  the commission split is highway robbery as well.  this company is too focused on growth that it's willing to squeeze their agents for everything they have to get more clout.  the biggest slap in the face is that the managers make the job sound WAYYY to easy.  

I was really excited to start working for Smart City. The managers swore everyone was making lots of money and having fun. 

I dove in head first,  working from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. Smart City provided leads, but most were unqualified,  and lots of leads were recycled. Plenty of times clients just wanted the information for a deal the saw on IG, didn't match the income requirements,  or were just looking.

The office environment is nice, as were the people who worked there. I really enjoyed that part! But there was no real work/life balance.  Hours were supposed to be flexible, but I was ALWAYS  working.

In just over one year at Smart City I have learned what it means to work at a company that truly cares about their people. It's incredible how they not only work relentlessly toward making it an amazing place to work but they challenge themselves daily to expand this opportunities to others through growth. I've never witnessed an organization follow through on their core values like Smart City seeks to do every day.  I would recommend working for this organization to anyone, every day is rich with respect and appreciation for each other. I can't imagine working anywhere else.

A lot of cool, fun, millennials who work very hard, but unfortunately very chaotic and disorganized. Management and leadership did not exemplify their core values and those in charge didn't have enough experience themselves to be effective leaders. Company is very numbers and money driven and doesn't care much about the actual people there. Classic recipe for burnout and literally no work-life balance. Very long hiring process, so be wary if applying. Growing too fast to make good business decisions or effect good overall strategy. All image, no substance. Maybe in 5 yrs the company will have matured enough to figure it out.

Just started working, so it is normal to be discouraged in the beginning. The company is great though, warm leads given, some clients are great, and some ghost you after you spend many hours over multiple weeks taking care of them. Honestly there is nothing wrong with the company, they are kind, supportive, and always eager to help. Coworkers are also helpful and motivate each other to grow. There are high highs and low lows and it's something natural that comes with the sales job.

I really enjoyed working here, the people really made me feel welcome and supported. The job was nice being able to help people find their dream homes. What hurt was the property managers themselves, as some of them would cut our commission, so there were times that we’d have no choice but to work with a client for free. Though keep in mind if you consistently take leads and work them well enough, you can overcome this particular issue.

A really awesome company to work for! The sales leaders are always willing and able to help as well as agents- newbies and vets. A healthy work environment for sure! We are constantly asked how the company and leaders can do better to help the agents.  If you need something where you can leave your work life at a certain time this may not be the position for you. You really have to find a happy medium in terms of work/life balance, but other agents are happy to share their daily schedules.

Great first 1099 job, but there are much better options out there. Company emphasizes a "work/life blend" and that's really not the case. If you want to make money, you have to be available at all hours and work long days - especially in the newer markets. If you work in a Texas market, your life is going to be much easier than if you sign on for the other markets, so know that going in.

I really appreciate some of the cool people I met there including the managers. The biggest issue I had is the amount of work and time you have to put into the work before you ever see any money. That's honestly to be expected in the real estate industry, however,  no one wants to work for pennies. The commission split is way below "industry standard" and even if you work 40 hrs a week, you still need a second job to actually pay your bills.
