Equity's training programs are better and more helpful.Equity has a relationship with a mortgage company that will call and pre-qualify your leads for you (and they remain your leads).Equity is an 800-pound, elegant gorilla in the industry and particularly in Utah (where we maintain a 22% market share) which means that we can negotiate better arrangements with vendors even nationwide.Equity is very well represented in local boards and NAR.Equity's Profit Share Program is one-of-a-kind and pays out $40-$60K every month to Agents religiously.Equity's model doesn't eliminate the incentive for brokers to continue to be helpful to agents which results in higher service ratings.These are just a few areas.
