Prior to late 2009 I owned my own company, but I thought I would try out the local RE/MAX Franchise so I put my own company on hold. RE/MAX is a good company and if I hadn't been on my own before I would think they are fantastic. No training though, which is fine by me. Similar splits to what you all are describing. I did get 3 deals because of being there through referrals, floor time, being a farm and ranch expert. But when it came down to the end of the year I found I made only $800 more then I would have on my own. And I had to do the 3 deals that RE/MAX got me to do that. So basically I did those 3 rather large deals for free. At least to my way of thinking (Yes I know it's transactions that matter). So I decided to go back on my own after some health problems and not wanting the pressure to sell sell sell to pay an office bill.

So my point is if you generate most of your leads on your own. Why give up so much money for nothing.

It's mmakes perfect sense if I am providing my own leads, if I must pay for all of my own signage, cards, advertising etc, and if the company is not giving me anything to advance my career why pay them so much ....

If you don't think you're getting a good ROI on your commission split, go shop around. I looked around to confirm that I'm getting a good deal. I got some amazing promises from other firms, but for some reason, the calls stopped when I asked to get it in writing.
