    Hmmm
    This sounds like Charles Rutenberg business model from FL.

    Yeah, they recently came to NYC. Sounds interesting, but
    the big names provide support like you can't imagine.

    So what is the fee per transaction, and the monthly?

    i think a 60/40 split is fair - straight up.

    broker 60 - sales agent 40

    no desk fees

    no bs

    as a sales agent you've got to stand firm - everything is negotiable!

    Wow 60/40 in favor of the broker, yeah I don't agree there.

    Here is what I think. Either 100% commish with desk fees (after all there is still the hassle of hanging the license and dealing with all those forms, issues, etc).

    Or,

    Something like a 70/30 split with teh BROKER taking 30, up to a set CAP. Meaning once the broker makes $X then it should move to 100% commish for the agent.

    That to me is a sound practice. The broker gets their money, but doesn't rape an agent that is producing a ton.

    without the broker who puts it all on the line - as the owner of the business - the sales agent would not make ****.

    forget the fees - if you don't like 60/40 - 50/50 i guess is okay.

    now if you're working in teams with other agents - then maybe the broker takes 30%.

    if the broker wants to charge all fees, to me that's just defeating the purpose of the business - but i know alot do that. there are also those that take a comiss plus fees - eeewwww....

    Sorry, but that is just a bad deal. I've heard of brokers trying to get as much as 50% from agents, but even that is too much. There are usually plenty of companies to choose from, and most will negotiate. I think 60/40 for a new agent is fair (60% to the agent), while more experienced agents shouldn't settle for anything less then 70/30 or higher.

    I don't know of any agent who would take 40%
