What do you pay buyer agents? Is it a 50% split on leads you send and then 70/30 on leads they obtain?

I'm starting a team at Keller Williams, before I open a brokerage, so wanted to see what the options were. I heard it's tough to pay more than 50% because of costs.

I want the agents to totally focus on clients, so will have my team handle transaction coordination and initial lead response. I can also do a flat transaction fee if that works better.

Bruce Hardie in Spokane, WA would be the perfect person to ask.

You can look him up in the KW directory, I think he does 45% to the agent, 5% to the licensed inside sales person who follows up on leads, and then the rest goes to overhead, lead generation and profit.

Do you know if that's also the case for leads the agents generate on their own?
