great starting ground for those that can learn on their own - Sales Associate Home61 Employee Review

Fast paced, utilizing new tech, great managers

Not for people who aren't fully committed

Great brokerage to start at if you're a new agent. They offer excellent training, support, and tech tools to help get you started in the industry. You will learn a lot, but not earn a lot. Start this as a side job, don't depend on it full time if you're a new agent. Open workspace may be awkward at first but creates a welcoming environment for asking questions and meeting other employees. You can use the office space whenever needed. Promote use of electronic documents and other technologies to make your job easier. Team is receptive to sharing ideas and feedback. Be sure to share ideas/feedback via email or in a presentation so it's documented and you receive credit for your thoughts.

Don't quit your job! They claim that all leads are qualified but this is not the case. Leads are often unqualified. Don't work here if you need to depend on it as a steady source of income. Although Home61 claims that lead disbursement is automated, management gives preference to their personal favorites/friends and will withhold leads to others at their will. Unpleasant office culture. Very high employee turnover. One co-founder often removed his shirt at the office. After a string of female staff quit, a meeting had to be held to discuss office culture and gossip. Hard to create a successful career as an agent with this company due to competition from better-known brokerages. Exiting the company was handled unprofessionally. Be sure to save your documents to a personal device or account before giving them courtesy advance notice of your departure of the company.
