I know many of you agents are probably overwhelmed by emails from different companies bragging about the 100% commission concept and why it's so much better than a regular commission split. I just wanted to mention a few disadvantages about going the 100% commission route.

First of all, newer people in the business, or people without a consistent stream of business, won't earn as much with the 100% commission model. As a newer agent in the business, you definitely need the training, help, and resources that a company like Premium Properties can provide.

Second, with 100% commission, the broker doesn't get any part of the agent's commission. Therefore, the broker has no real motivation to help you close the deal. Will your broker respond to the call of duty and help you navigate any problems if nothing is in it for them? Typically, a broker like myself gets part of the commission from the agents on the team. I'm invested in every transaction here, unlike brokers whose teams run on 100% commission.

Finally, since the broker doesn't get any part of your commission under the 100% commission concept, the broker is selling and working himself. You would rarely see your broker or manager. At our company, we are here to help you. We are available by phone or email because I'm not competing with our agents to earn my own commission.

As you can see, there are significant disadvantages to working for 100% commission. Our brokerage has the resources to take you to the next level. If you have any questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
