Do you work for yourself or not?


Everyone thinks they have a business of their own when they go into real estate. However very few actually do and they become comfortable in employee type relationships that hold them back and impede their growth both personally and professionally.  In most cases they have one, or most of the following going against their growth.

·         Competing broker that has the ability to control the leads or calls that come into the office.

·         No training to develop their own leads or business.

·         No freedom to adjust commission to accommodate the “deal.”

·         A resistant attitude towards new thinking.

·         A franchise that has lost ground in the market for years.

·         A franchise that is billions in debt.

·         Not being able to brand yourself. Everything revolves around the franchise name and not yours.

·         High office fees.

·         High office splits.

·         No 100% commission no matter how much you produce.

·         No cap on royalty.

·         No website just for you.

·         No profit share or open books.

·         Watch your broker and his family grows their business while yours shrinks.

·         Pay transaction fees and cancellation fees.

·         Have no voice in how the office is run.

I wonder everyday why any agent would settle for any of the above when they have an option.

Do you want to make more money?

Do you want an office and franchise that is growing?

Do you want training?

Do you want to have more freedom?



Then Give us a call!
