That seems to me to be the time that you need outside expertise more than later in your career.If a deal is on the market (on MLS), the commission paid to the agents is already agreed to in the listing contract, so buyer's agent or not, the seller will pay the same amount of commission. 

If it means the same thing in Philadelphia, you will be dealing with a Historic Home Commission, or something similar. 

I am considering inventing my/our own new real estate agency brand using a technology broker, possibly establishing a team, where we create our own brand while getting large commission splits and getting the technology support we agents desperately need.

Listing ppw typically states that the listing agent gets the commission for both sides, if buyer does not have an agent.

I figured that getting my license and working in an agency with successful sales people will give me a wealth of knowledge as well as earn the opportunity to get income through my sales skills (spent time as a financial advisor for Prudential Financial, I also had stints in sales with AFLAC).If you can, I would love some awesome feedback on everything from: *What I need to know about working with a brokerage firm (membership dues, office politics, commission splits, location, size, etc)*How I should start investigating my market,*What kind of time and money I should be prepared to invest to get results in real estate sales,*Tips on getting into the commercial sector,And anything in between!

However, if your son received a benefit from your IRA contracting with the company such as a commission or bonus then it would be "prohibited".

Also, as a broker is #2 pocketing commission?

I want to see everything that hits and be the one deciding what's worth it to look at, not them.Even if she's not representing them, I'm sure she'd get a commission representing you, so she's still vested.
