A conventional company looks like a good concept for the new agent, the agent that needs up time to get his or her leads. In most cases, however, if the agent does even a fair amount of business they are drastically overpaying for the services they receive. Despite a split largely in favor of the Broker, Broker/Owners of conventional companies are not making a whole lot of money. This is due to high turnover and the constant struggle to recruit and train good agents. Most companies recruit in order to offset their expenses while a profit seems like a distant dream.
It is time for a reality check with respect to the so called "100% companies". No matter where you work or what business you are in, there is a cost of doing business. Whether you choose to call it a percentage or a desk fee - either way it costs money to conduct a business. Many Companies entice agents with "100%" compensation plans. Then they hit agents with the fees…desk fees, dues, corporate fees, and so on. In reality most of the Broker/Owners are not making a lot of money either, and because the fees are so high, neither are the agents!
Recently, innovative Broker/Owners are trying to split that real estate pie one more time by offering profit sharing percentages on recruiting more agents. They are trying to entice agents into believing that they can earn MORE than 100%. How does this model work? It is simple. No matter how the percentages are figured, each year you will pay your Broker/Owner something. The question is, what is that something? Do the math and if you will make more at another firm than you would here at SUCCESS! and at the same time get more services - it would be hard to convince you to join our team. Let the numbers be your guide. We are sure SUCCESS! will come out on top!
The reason why most companies are following a model where they take more from their agents is simple - owners are unwilling (and wisely so) to risk renting large amounts of fancy office space with the hopes that they will be able to fill that space. Recruiting for the simple reason that a company needs to pay for its overhead is no way to conduct business! Most owners can make more money having a smaller space and by selling real estate independently. They stay small and do an average amount of business at best. At SUCCESS! we discovered that there is a way whereby both the agent and the owner can make more money while simultaneously reducing the risk to each party. The answer is the SUCCESS! 90% compensation program. How SUCCESS! Works:
