What are sales commissions like at D.R. Horton?

Get to sell new homes and help families get into a new home

100% commission and sales cycle varies depending on the built time of the home

Potential to make a lot of money Built-in listings and customer base

Commission only, no base pay even when there are no homes to sell and you are still required to sit in a model home for 8 hours - no lunch breaks allowed. These dry spells can last for several months at a time due to land development issues and/or construction delays

- High earning potential - Professional Licensing - Great Team - Competent Leadership - Fast growing team

- Outside of training - 100% commission based - Working retail hours (Every weekend) - Taxes

Great Commission Structure and Sales Tools.

Each division is run as it's own profit center. While company policies are the same from division to division the autonomy afforded to upper management can and does get abused. If you're a sales leader watch your six your hard earned commissions can be stolen if that deal hasn't closed in 30 days of an "at will" termination. It's an old game in the new home biz. Managers count their bonus first and walk on sales people to get there.

Great Management and good product.

No base pay, all commission

DR Horton has the best incentives for their buyers which helps you sell more homes. They buy their mortgage interest rate down and pay all the closing cost. You can buy a home with a very small down payment.

It's the economy stupid!!!!!! Not your sales people. Never satisfied, Tough times right now in the industry, the answer at DR Horton is to micro manage the crap out of the sales team. Never worked so hard for so little and now they cut the Sales Reps commission from 1.75% to 1.25% very hefty. It equals a $65,000 a year pay cut!!!!!

You will receive a great commission

Toxic work environment, lack of professionalism, lack of consistency, it is reminiscent of high school behaviors. I saw all of this information online through other reviews prior to working here and realized it was all true.

Good commission and bonus structure Always a new house to sell Company invests in employee growth

Homes are priced too high for their quality High prices makes it more difficult to close sales Customers are often concerned about quality The company struggles to innovate and bring a good diversification of products into the market

Income, benefits and the majority of coworkers

Workload, work-life balance, unrealistic expectations, micromanagement, excessive paperwork, spreadsheets and reports. Income can be fantastic but expect no life. Commission rate needs to be raised to fall in line with competitors or even other divisions.

Commission structure was great and the company works hard to market your communities on your behalf.

You are expected to work weekends and holidays
