Job satisfaction, depending on your career, is not always easy to come by. It’s something many people seek out when deciding their life path. In fact, Pew Research found that 39% of workers say their job or career is very important to their overall identity. 

Being a REALTOR®, as (hopefully) most agents can tell you, is a satisfying career, but now there’s data to prove it.
Career.io’s new study analyzed 755,758 job reviews and identified the careers that have the most job satisfaction from their employees. 

Among the 50 most common job roles, being a REALTOR® has the highest satisfaction levels. Real estate agents gave their job an average rating of 4.24.

REALTOR® Tina Lapp, whose interview with the Harvard Business Review was cited by the study, pointed to the “flexibility and autonomy” of being an agent as a reason for the popularity and high satisfaction. “You have the power to define what ‘success’ looks like to you and create a sustainable work schedule that helps you find joy at (and beyond) your job,” Lapp continued.

Career.io also listed the top company in each popular job field, and named Fathom Realty as the highest rated company for surveyed agents.

Marco Fregenal, CEO of Fathom Holdings, Inc., commented that the recognition by agents is due to “years of great work by (Fathom COO) Samantha Giuggio, her team, and our District Directors nationwide.” 

“Fathom’s success comes from putting agents and employees first,” continued Fregenal. “When our agents and employees thrive, the company thrives, and this recognition reflects our commitment to service, collaboration, and innovation. We’re proud to see the positive impact on our agents and employees.”

Giuggio added that Fathom’s focus has “always been on creating an environment where our agents and staff feel heard, appreciated and empowered,” and this recognition exemplifies the “dedication and heart of our entire team and all the local leaders who work tirelessly to support our agents every step of the way.”

“Knowing that our agents feel this level of support reaffirms that our approach to leadership, culture and innovation is making a tangible impact on their success and well-being,” she concluded.
