Need to be willing to prospect
Licensed Realtor (Former Employee) - LA JOLLA - January 2, 2023
Good company if you put the work in, work your leads and follow up. Not for people looking for part-time work or passive income. Definitely need to put the hours in

Fun and Challenging
Real Estate Assistant (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - December 21, 2022
Fast paced, high energy environment. Lots of smart people work here and agents have big $’s on the line, which can also create stress for support staff. But it’s also a great place to get experience and learn from the pros. Need to be a self starter who doesn’t need hand holding to be successful here.

Classy and Refined
Real Estate Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - December 9, 2022
When ever I tell someone I work with Sotheby's, the first thing they say is wow, that's a luxury company. Indeed it is, but you also receive excellent guidance and support from management and other agents.

Inclusive, positive, and caring company.
Licensed Real Estate Broker (Current Employee) - Redmond, WA - September 10, 2022
At Marketplace Sothebys, you definitely get out what you put in. They allow you to move at your own pace, and are always there to support their agents. They live up to the sign they have posted for employees; Work Hard and Be Nice.

Strong Support
Sotheby's was a very interesting experience. Marketing support and management were great. Dealing with other brokers was difficult at times. You do have a lot of opportunity to grow, especially if you are recruited by another team.
Pros
Amazing homes
Cons
Cut Throat

Freedom
Realtor (Former Employee) - Boston, MA - November 5, 2021
Wonderful company. Weekly meetings, caravans. I learned to serve as an educator for my clients. When one approaches their customers as a patient educator, it is much more appreciated than a typical sales approach.
Pros
Dressing up for work
Cons
When recessions arrive

Amazing Company
Real Estate Agent (Current Employee) - Yountville, CA - August 26, 2021
Vintage Sotheby’s International Realty has been great to work with as they are local owners and brokers. They know Napa Valley and we all know each other. They are very supportive and transactions go smooth.

Well run by good, supportive management
Real Estate Broker (Former Employee) - Santa Fe NM - March 5, 2021
Excellent management and colleagues. Fair commission splits for good producers. Really don't like being required to buy advertising space in annual publications but it's not too expensive.

Cons
Lack of parking at times

It's alright
I think it is whatever you make of it, and depending on the location you could be part of a great team. I just feel satisfied here but don't feel I have grown much

Upper management pits people against each other.
Lead Designer (Former Employee) - Madison, NJ - September 6, 2020
● Work-life balance Work-life balance at Sotheby's International Realty is Satisfactory. ● Pay & benefits My pay and benefits at Sotheby's International Realty are fair. ● Job security and advancement In terms of job security at Sotheby's International Realty, I think is weak. ● Management In general, managers at Sotheby's International Realty are manipulative and set you up to fail. ● Culture Collaboration with my colleagues at Sotheby's International Realty is poor. ● Overall My experience working at Sotheby's International Realty was futile.
