Pros

Startup feel with typical perks like stocked fridge, N64 etc if you're into that

Cons

You can't make money here. They'll put you through a three week unpaid training regimen and promise riches, but you'll soon realize it's all smoke & mirrors. As the old adage rings true - if it sounds too good it likely is. They over-promise and under deliver. Expect extreme (and I mean EXTREME) micromanagement and lengthy delays in getting paid. Prepare to be spoken to condescendingly as you abide by their strict policies hoping to cash that commission check, whenever they choose to issue it. I've worked for other brokerages before, and it's 100% clear that Loftey doesn't get it. Agents drive revenue, and Loftey won't recognize this. They churn and burn, hiring dozens of unqualified agents a month with hopes to "scale", but they miss the mark by failing to recognize and acknowledge talent within their current team. I could go on an on. On paper, Loftey is great. I had high hopes being a part of their mission, and don't take this review as an attack on them. They're simply confused and misguided about managing their most valuable assets; agents.

Pros

I joined Loftey in the summer of 2018 and was quickly impressed by the volume of business not only the company was doing, but even rookie agents as well. Coming from a larger firm with high splits with high dues, and higher marketing costs, deals can come fewer and farther between. An agent can come to Loftey without any budget or experience, gain some essential training and start receiving qualified clients asap without resorting to posting (fake) ads or cold calling exclusive listings. Although there is an incentive for agents to generate their own personal business with higher splits. The company is always looking for creative ways to motivate agents whether with bonuses, contests or all-expense paid company events. The free snacks and stocked fridge doesn't hurt either.

Cons

The start-up environment does lend itself to some hiccups when it comes to communication. Sometimes processes or protocols change more frequently than at larger firms. I attribute this to growing pains. There is more oversight on every deal, which can be cumbersome for an experienced agent, but understood as the company wants to make sure every client has a good experience and no lead goes wasted.
