Pros

They tend to pay fairly and on time. The office is nice and clean.

Cons

The executives are brothers and co-ceo's and I've never experienced any company successfully run by 2 ceo's ...they are no exception. They will exist as they have existed for years but in all honesty I'm not sure if they will ever be profitable. There seems to be some shady dealings with ownership of this brokerage business. I was told by another former employee that these two are rich kids playing boss. It's highly possible that their parents bankrolled the operation from another country. Anyway, all the secretiveness surrounding their business dealings seems to always get in the way of TRUE TRANSPARENCY and moving forward with work. The turnover is insane here. They've burned bridges with plenty of employees who have in fact been very loyal to them while rolling out the red carpet for employees who could care less about their vision but played them in the office in order to keep paying their bills. They hire amazing staff with a painfully long recruiting process but it does them no good when all they're really interested in is doing solely what they want to do. Soooo many great people have left this place. The environment is definitely ripe w/ sexist talk and behavior, felt sorry for the ladies. I originally thought it was an LGBT friendly environment by the way the owners dress until we all finally saw the loose vegas after hours types they tend to date at work functions.

Pros

Getting to work with talented people in all facets of the real estate, construction, and design business! The owners set the bar when it comes to work ethic and continue to bring gorgeous reimagined homes to the market place! There's a lot of room to grow, develop, and co-create in this forward-thinking Brand! The location is nice, the office atmosphere is upbeat, and the food provided is always nice!! Two smart CEO's with intentions to do good in everything they do!!

Cons

Sometimes there's Randy's donuts, In-N-Out, and pizza which can be hard to turn down.

Pros

Education, sense of community, culture. I really enjoy working here where my talents are utilized on a high level daily and the growth and education opportunities are only limited by myself. I have been a full time Realtor for 21 years and I am hard pressed to find a company in the Los Angles area that aligns with my ethics and values. I find it laughable to those who write a poor review of us on here or anywhere else as we are a widely diverse company in all aspects of real estate and who we hire, and as with any firm some of those people just don't make it as they are either lazy or just want an hourly job and no growth. I see this every day from other companies and people I work with outside of this firm well. You have to go get it. Nothing is handed to you. LA is a fast paced city and if you can't keep up you are passed by. Some people make it in and some don't. Personally this is also why I like this company as they get it and they work hard for it and we all expect nothing less of each other. That's what gets me excited and keeps me going in real Estate.

Cons

My commute is over an hour and am at the office every day. I got used to it though
