Pros

Flexible scheduling, monthly staff recognition

Cons

Honestly; the way that the C-level leadership talked about their district directors and state brokers was appalling. To be blunt, if you were not a white man and spoke up about disagreeing with a decision you were seen as being dramatic and making it about race (even when clearly some DD’s were valid in their positions). Because of the way the company’s grown and retained higher leadership, there is full stagnation in any new ideas or business development for the betterment of staff and long term goals. There’s a reason that when the company went public it was flagged as a risky/bad investment. On the outside it looks fine and as a business model is good, but the way that the inner workings are managed - would not recommend. Turnover has been HIGH in the corporate office in NC over the past two years for a reason

Zero chance this review is real. First, like any good hit piece, they jump to race because nothing hurts more than a charge of racism. It’s interesting how this review is anonymous so that the reviewer does not have to prove or defend their position. At the Fathom Realty headquarters, there is only two white men in leadership and neither have direct reports so it would be a little odd for the others to only allow white men to speak. Our leadership team at our headquarters consists of mostly women, followed by two black men, two Hispanic men, and two white men. Second sign of a hit piece, sow seeds of doubt with their DD’s and create infighting. Our DDs know this is not true so good luck with that one. We are incredibly supportive of our DDs and they know it. Third, sow seeds of doubt with investors and harm the company financially. I found it amusing when this person suggested that we had to go public because we were a risky/bad investment. Investors know better as we would not have been allowed to go public in the first place. We never had to raise money and didn’t until we decided to go public. The funds raised were used to cover the cost of going public. We did not have to go public at all and when we did, we were audited by a top firm and everything is public information, so once again, false. I wont bother hitting everything point by point because it’s a waste of my time. This is what I hate about Glassdoor, anyone can leave an anonymous fake review and Glassdoor will never remove it.

Pros

Decent front end and backend software.

Cons

Unethical management. Their one-sided agreements do nothing for agents and only protects the company (not a big surprise), but when a company puts a bible verse on their homepage, you would tend to expect following the Golden Rule. I had to file Arbitration with them over a commission dispute.
