Pro's response is exactly why I don't take agents anymore at my company.

I make so much more money and have an easier life doing my own deals.I don't have to babysit anyone.

I would have to track about 180 transactions closings at 300 trans fee to equal my average commission check.

Do you know how much headache and paperwork that is for that money????

Good luck pro........

[quote=Doin' bpose]...So when a broker splits with you, he is allowing you to have some of what you have earned in his name and under his brokerage. The specific terms are usually spelled out in an independent contractor's agreement. ...At that point if you are offering 100% for $100 per month, I will bring myself and everyone I can to join your charitable brokerage.[/quote]

I totally understand your frustration that a novice agent wants to have his cake and eat it too.

I am very ready to borrow my broker's name and pay $50 to $100 per month for his/her name and he/she will still be glad in two ways:

1. My listing signs are advertising the brokerage firm all over the town.

2. My brokerage will be greatly benefited by my listing brochure and templates, all designed by myself, printed at my own home. And I let the company use mine FOR FREE.

After having posted here, I recently got a very decent firm for $100 per month, $200 per-transaction fee. They've already started getting great help from me with choosing a new domain name and opening another office location, etc.

There are plenty of dirt cheap brokerages operating just like this, and they are here to stay. They're not for me, but they exist.
