Values, Care, and Growth - Anonymous employee SG Real Estate Employee Review

What I appreciated most about my time here was the high level of trust and autonomy. Unlike many firms that rely on micromanagement, this office emphasizes self-sufficiency and gives you the space to own your workflow from day one. It’s an ideal environment for anyone who is a self-starter and prefers a 'freedom-first' culture where your results speak for themselves.

Because the culture is so focused on independence, it’s a fast-paced environment that requires a lot of personal initiative. It may not be the best fit for someone who needs constant hand-holding or a highly structured mentorship program, but for those who are driven to figure things out on their own, the upside is huge.

As a fresh graduate on the leasing team, SG is a good environment to grow and network within East Bay. Base bay is higher than market but with lower commissions. Co-Workers: One of my favorite parts of the company was the group of people in SG. They’ve been phenomenal to work with and rely on during the busy seasons. Overall, SG knows how to find friendly people to work with. Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to work with small to midrise apartments, affordable housing programs, transitional housing programs, and new development. Community managers positions are usually available as well.

If your portfolio has student housing, you’re expected to work on a weekend during the busy seasons. However, that’s the nature of the business so be prepared for it. Thick skin is required to be successful.
