I worked for a Century 21. Each brokerage is independent. It all depends on the individual brokerage.

I chose to go to work for a non-competing broker because I thought she would be able to devote more time to training me--and I needed a lot! The competing broker I talked to had, at that time, about 50% of his office's listings (14 agents). He was so busy competing with them, I felt like I'd be taking up his time and he'd be taking away my potential work.

I have never regretted chosing a broker whose concern was for my career. She is the best!

I am being recruited by 4 Brokers in my area. OneI have eliminated because the manager made the circle of exellence level in our local board. You need almost 4.5 million in volume in and area where the average sale is 180K. He does not contol his office. One of his agents that I know now directs all showing appointments to go to her cell phone because the office was not calling the clients to confirm showings.
