WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
2009 and beyond will see a change in the face of real estate. It will be challenging times for many agents. The serious fulltime professionals will take their industry back from the part time less knowledgeable and committed agents, which have already begun exiting in droves. Agents who wanted to make real estate a career and profession are understanding the need to be associated with a name brand company and are looking for where they want their career and future to be. 2005 & 2006 were historic, record years in real estate. It will be years before we see a market like that again. So with the return to normalcy, here are some things agents really serious about their business, their industry, and their future must know. Because today's market is the market for the next few years.
Working for high desk fee companies in a dramatically diminished market means the company will keep a larger share of your gross commission.
Agents who are associated with name brand high desk fee companies were contributing approximately 25-30% of their gross commission to their company in the boom years (ie: Gross Commission $100,000, less company dollars of $28,000, equals net commission of $72,000). But with the decline in the number of transactions an agent may do in the upcoming years, the contribution becomes closer to 40% or even 50% of gross commission (ie: Gross commission $60,000, less company dollars of $28,000, equals net commission of $32,000). So high desk fee companies become to expensive to an agent's bottom line.
RE/MAX is perfectly structured and positioned, and has been for over 38 years to provide agents with maximum commission earnings
RE/MAX was founded on the agent-centric philosophy, of giving the agents all the support, tools, training and education provided by any name brand company, while charging lower fees to maximize the agent's earnings.
