What if your broker offered you, the agent, real value? Have your ever thought about this question seriously?
I hope you have, because your business as a real estate agent can be impacted tremendously by your decision over which broker to choose.
As a real estate professional, you have no doubt been bombarded by a multitude of brokers all vying for your attention. They want you “on their team” and make false claims regarding commission splits including ever popular “100% commission” deal. However, when you sign on what you really get is the same old dull and boring office meetings which re-hash old, outdated, sales techniques coupled with the fine print noting that if you want to participate in their training programs or work with “successful” agents you will pay a 70/30 commission split or extra fees on those transactions.
Time to wake up!
There is no such thing as a 100% commission broker. Your broker has to make money to stay in business.
Here’s another way to look at it: Let’s assume you have a 100% commission agreement with your broker. These are almost always accompanied by a transaction fee. If your transaction fee is $300.00 and your commission is $3000.00, then you are at a 90/10 split with your broker.
This is a good split, but hey… It’s far from 100%. This is just one of many myths in the real estate marketplace today. And, you must guard yourself against the propaganda.
Some of the other major myths include:
You have to have a fancy office to do business.
You have to work with a “big name” brokerage to get leads.
And finally, the most damaging myth, is you must own the next “shiny object” that is designed to get you 10,000 followers on Facebook or generate blog content for you automatically.
Listen, you must not allow yourself to be taken in by such nonsense. The future of your business depends on it!
