Pros
Independence and freedom to design and execute your business the best way that you see fit. Excellent work environment with some of the nicest people I've worked with. There is also a great deal of help when its needed and you get the backing of a very strong company. If you enjoy working referral business this is one of the best places to work as referrals come in almost daily. The only issue is (see cons...)
Cons
This is not a brokerage platform that can compete with any professional commercial brokerages. I would rate it highly compared to other residential firms that tack on commercial operations but KW brands the division like the larger players yet fails to provide the platform and support to truly "hit stride" in your business. This is not a fault of the people running the office but rather an unavoidable consequence of the top-down corporate model that doesn't allow for otherwise excellent operators to provide the requisite set of tools to help their commercial brokers succeed. If you want to work at a brokerage you will have to pay a cut... the idea is that you are able to complete more deals as a result of the platform you are paying to be part of. The cost-benefit isn't quite there yet but it does have potential.
