Choosing a real estate broker to work for. Coldwell Banker vs Keller Williams..?
November 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
I have heard good things about both of these companies. Let me start by saying I am new to real estate so I want a company that will offer me great training, has name recognition, and is financially fair.
I have heard Keller Williams has excellent training. I have also heard they can be overbearing and cult like. I tend to be a bit cynical and don’t like being bombarded with corporate culture, so I am bit worried Keller Williams might get under my skin. The bottom line is that I do want the best training though.
Can someone with experience in the field please shed some light on my question.

They are both fine choices. After you have been selling for 1 year, the choice will be crystal clear. KW has the best commission split in the industry for beginners. But to offset that advantage, they are a mulit-level-marketing operation where you have pressure to recruit other beginners.
CB has been pressured up by KW in the commission splits. They have a good name and well-located offices. Lots of agents stay with them for a long time. But they do lose lots of agents to companies that offer the agents a 100% program where the agent keeps all the commission.
So make your personal choice and know that you can’t make a huge mistake. Get to work.
