Save Money, Close More Transactions, And Build YOUR Business
Dear Long Beach Real Estate Agent,
There are certainly many costs to being a real estate agent. Taking classes to renew your license, paying your MLS dues, office fees, etc. At first most agents justify them as a “cost of doing business”. This “cost of doing business” can add up to thousands of dollars annually.
For most agents, because they do enjoy those they work with, they put up with all of the office fees and commission splits because surely it couldn’t be any better elsewhere…right?
Keller Williams was founded on putting the agents first in every way possible.
We want happy agents so we certainly hope you do enjoy where you work and who you work with; however, we also want you to keep more of the hard earned money that you earn. Whether or not you have been looking around town, we invite you to consider the following items you might have heard with a new perspective.
- 100% Splits – This is one of the most misleading statements in real estate. This often means you get charged monthly regardless of whether or not you close a deal. Furthermore, it’s important to ask, is there a point where you stop paying a royalty/franchise fee (this is often 3-6% of your commissions)?
- Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O) – Regardless of what “split” is promised do you have to pay your E&O separately, monthly, etc? This can be a huge expense and you need insurance to protect you on every transaction that you close.
- What support is available? – Maybe you found a place that says they will charge you just $50 a transaction but how are they going to help you? Is there a broker that you can ask your tough questions to? Who is going to be available to you when you need to understand how to write something in on a contract that is due in just a few hours? A lower fee may not give you the essential support you need when you need it the most.
At the end of the day, there are going to be expenses with any real estate firm that you join, the important part to consider is finding a firm that charges a fair amount and gives you the opportunity to reach your highest potential. Sometimes it takes speaking with a few brokers just to determine who is right for you.
