Keep Your Commission - Why Join a Flat Fee Brokerage?

Flat Fee Commission Brokerage California

Why should I join a one hundred percent real estate brokerages, for other than the obvious reason of keeping all my commission ? 

If keeping all your money isn't enough reason to join a flat fee brokerage, below is a Top 10 List of reasons agents join a virtual online real estate company:

Finally be your own boss.  As a real estate agent you don't "work for" a broker, the broker is supposed to work for you. 
  1. No driving to work
  2. No mandatory meetings
  3. No makeup
  4. No weird office politics
  5. No mandatory floor time
  6. No "desk" fees
  7. No "advertising" fees
  8. Conduct your transaction from anywhere in the world on your phone
  9. Not be part of a saturated market with a jillion other undistinguishable agents with the same For Sale signs everywhere

Nowadays one would be hard pressed to come up with any benefit at all of working under an old style brokerage, not to mention the part about giving a large chunk of your money away to use their desk ! The cold hard truth is this; brick & mortar brokerages no longer have anything to offer agents that agents can get themselves online, which makes old style real estate companies unable to justify taking an agents commission anymore. Welcome to real estate's future.

Why Are One Hundred Percent Commission Brokerages So Popular Now ?

100% commission brokerage california

Nowadays if you take a look inside any real estate office you will find it mostly void of agents, because most realtors now work from home. ..Why is that ?  The internet has leveled the playing field of available information, so now old traditional real estate companies really no longer have anything to offer agents that requires them being part of an office or brokerage. Which is why giving a large part of your commission away to a broker is no longer necessary !  

Empty real estate offices are merely evidence of the old traditional way of doing real estate having finally caught up with technology, and virtual online brokers are now filling the need for agents to be able to work exclusively from home without all the constraints of a traditional broker.  

Remember the old days of going to a travel agents office with posters of exotic travel destinations on the wall to book a vacation ?  Now we sit at home and click the mouse to do the same thing.  And now real estate buyers, sellers, and agents are also doing real estate entirely online as well. 

If you think about it, real estate was one of the last business models to acquiesce to the online format.  Heck, people are even doing doctor appointments online now !  So it should come as no surprise that the internet has ushered the real estate industry into the modern day online business model and the real estate agents that join these flat fee brokerages are the beneficiaries.

Keep Your Commission - How much does RE/MAX pay ?

100% commission broker california

In this blog post we're going to compare a one hundred percent commission virtual online flat fee California brokerage to RE/MAX.

Many realtors believe RE/MAX is a 100% commission brokerage.  Lets take a close look and see if that's really true.

Lets start off mentioning that new agents at R/M start out on a 50/50 split.  After that, every agent is going to be on a different commission split.  So instead of going through a bunch of complicated percentage figures on how much commission R/M takes out, lets just keep it simple and just look at the all the fees they charge.  Following is a quote I found on a real estate discussion board directly from a R/M agent; "My desk fee is $14,000 a year and my split is 95/5, so is costs me $19,000 ($14,000k desk fee + $5,000 commission split) for the first $100k I make."  

So this R/M agent gets to look forward to paying out a cool $14,000 a year for his desk, not to mention the other additional fees R/M tacks on for advertising, etc.. Yikes ! For $14,000 a year I sure hope that desk is made of gold.

Again, lets look at the CURB business model.  
Desk fee: $0
Advertising fee: $0
Franchise fee: $0
Commission split to agent: 100%

Please do the math and decide which business model works best for you.

Keep Your Commission - How much does Keller Williams pay?

In following blogs I am going to post the commission differences in flat fee 100% commission brokers to the commissions the large corporate brokerages; Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, ReMax, Century 21, etc..  take from their agents.  This blog will be on Keller Williams.

The following information is copied from an inman article where the CEO of KW spoke;
"The commission split that Keller Williams offered agents is a hybrid of that offered by traditional franchises and 100 percent commission organizations. The Keller Williams agent/Keller Williams Realty receives a 70/30 commission split from the first dollar of gross commission income generated. The agent was responsible for paying a franchise fee to the international office each year, which was capped at $3,000. The agent was also responsible for paying a fee to the market center,..."

100% commission real estate brokerage california

So let's use the median sale price for a home in California this year (from CAR) which is $449,500, to calculate how much an agent would receive if they were with KW.  On a 3% commission the amount earned by the agent would would have been $13,485.  After KW takes their portion of $4,046 the agent will end up with only $9439.  ..yikes ! We're not done yet. KW agents are also required to pay a "franchise fee" of $3,000 per year on top of the already huge chunk taken out.  So, if the average agent only sells only 3 properties a year (according to NAR) then that's an additional $1,000 the agent must pay to the KW broker. So after all the commission grabbing is done the agent has given KW $5,046 and is left with only $8439 from the original $13,485 they earned. And I'm not even including another additional fee KW agents also must pay to the "marketing center". 

Now lets look at that same transaction with CURB.  Instead of an agent paying a whopping $5,046 in commissions with KW, with CURB for that same exact transaction they would only pay $595 + $95 E&O, for a grand total of $690 vs $5,046 !  With the KW model the agent ends up with only $8439 as opposed to $12,795 with CURB.  That is an extra $4,356 in your pocket !  Do that only 3 times a year and that equals an extra $13,068 that stays in your pocket for you to spend on anything your little heart desires.

Keep Your Commission - But my broker gives me training !

100% commission broker california

A one hundred percent commission / flat fee agency is great, but what about training ?

Some new real estate agents try to reason that working with a traditional style brokerage and paying thousands and thousands of dollars of their commission, is for the training the old school style brokerages offer.  At CURB we've got that objection covered. We host an exclusive monthly webinar teaching our Realtors specifically how to market themselves and stand out from the sea of other Realtors,  All at no cost to our agents.

Furthermore, if you desire even more training, consider this: if you just do 1 single transaction on say a $500,000 property, your commission will be $15,000.  Out of your $15,000 you have to give 15% ~ 50% ($2,250 ~ $4,500) of your money to your broker for training.   The actual price for one of the top agent training companies is only $439.  On just one single transaction, the $2,250 ~ $4,500 you give to your broker, you could probably have your own private coach come to your house and personally train you !
Think about this; if you sell only 7 homes a year; that equals $15,750 ~ $31,500 of your money your paying  for your offices training.  How much training can you buy from a top of the line private professional real estate coach with $15,750 ~ $31,500 a year ?  It doesn’t take much to figure out paying $439 for your own professional coach and spending the $15,000 ~ $30,000 on a first class round-the-world cruise for two would be the better option.

Also consider, the traditional training you are getting from your traditional broker is the exact same training being given to all the other agents in your office, as well as all the agents in EVERY one of their offices !  How is that going to help you stand out from the thousands of other agents being “trained” the exact same way as you ?
