I'm not putting a huge emphasis on commission split as I'm ok with 'paying' for the training and support that comes with a franchise brokerage, I know I won't have a clue what to do if I just hang my license with a transaction brokerage void of any training.. 

I still have lots of room for improvement - staff appreciation is key and your staff knowing that you as the owner place primary emphasis on resident care as #1 will also be key (and frankly resident care should be the top priority as thats the only reason the business is in existence) and second most important thing is making the staff feel a part of the family and appreciated.Watch your cash flows - it will eat you alive.
