That's because YOU pay for everything upfront, that's why...

It really comes down to how you want to run YOUR BUSINESS.

If you control it... you get to pay for it.

Passed my test on the 1st try today. I'm not sweating the small stuff.

I'm scheduled to begin my 4-4-3 training next month and my mls training as well.

Well, then.. You might as well open up your own then, eh?

Does anyone have a site or possible cheat sheet on each company?

I am moving in a couple months and realized that I will NOT be transfering to a branch office.

I'm still considered a new agent (less than a year old) but my commission split is horrible (54/46), my mentor rides me like a donkey about training ever single day which has burned me out and taking floor duty since the receptionist quit (when can I find time to prospect!!!), my clients have to pay over $300 in administrative fees to the brokerage which I find myself having to explain even though other local brokers don't charge admin fees, and I could go on....but I won't bore you.

Anyway, the upside is no desk fees. :rolleyes:

You live and you learn. I just want to make sure I am more informed this time when picking a company as well as observing the office atmosphere.
