Desk fees can range from $100 a month plusE&O insurance is about $100 per transactionCommissionsI put this last because you should really be focused on the above questions.The money will flow when you start putting deals together.The more deals and education you have the more money you will make, but there is a learning curve and the brokerage needs to be rewarded for that effort.There are Brokerages that offer a 50/50 split to new agent and there are offices with only a desk fee of $100 a month, so nearly 100% commissions.The difference is that the 50/50 split office will hold your hand and offer way more training and possibly some leads and the $100 a month office considers you an experience agent that only need minimal assistance and NO lead generation.I hope you find this information useful and if you need anything else please reach out to me offline.anaheim, brea, costa mesa, coto de caza, cypress, dana point, fountain valley, garden grove, huntington beach, irvine, la habra, ladera ranch, laguna beach, laguna hills, laguna niguel, lake forest, mission viejo, newport beach, orange county, placentia, rancho santa margarita, san clemente, san juan capistrano, santa ana, stanton, tustin, westminster, yorba linda
