Freedom & Self-Sufficiency - Leasing Agent/Community Manager SG Real Estate Employee Review

There is a lot of opportunity for growth. There is a big opportunity to grow in terms of skills, position, and also just internally. People have come a long way here from where they started and it's really great to see the growth myself and a lot of others have been able to have. If you want it and are open to coaching and feedback, there is a lot to learn and help you get stronger at whatever position or area you are in.

One main thing is that property management is challenging work. The days can present a lot of unpredictable situations. It can quickly be busier than expected or planned for and can include conversations that are difficult. The company helps each other a lot, though. Another thing is that expectations are high and feedback on performance is common.

As a fresh graduate on the leasing team, SG is a good environment to grow and network within East Bay. Base bay is higher than market but with lower commissions. Co-Workers: One of my favorite parts of the company was the group of people in SG. They’ve been phenomenal to work with and rely on during the busy seasons. Overall, SG knows how to find friendly people to work with. Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to work with small to midrise apartments, affordable housing programs, transitional housing programs, and new development. Community managers positions are usually available as well.

If your portfolio has student housing, you’re expected to work on a weekend during the busy seasons. However, that’s the nature of the business so be prepared for it. Thick skin is required to be successful.
