still have some friends in Montreal, most of whom are involved in IT or Web design.  

Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design.

I didn't enjoy competing with her.After 10 months, I decided to go solo and work under the license of a coach I had retained.Several months later, my internal entrepreneur got the better of me and I opened my own brokerage - Clear Sailing Realty, LLC (Where our tag line says it all: It's Clear Sailing.....all the way Home)We're designed to be a low cost, low friction brokerage both for clients and agents. 

Just set the maximum price you are comfortable with and stick to it.Good luck!

Until the deals start flowing in, I can comfortably spend a few hundred dollars a month marketing without losing any sleep. 

Regardless of what I had I felt more comfortable in the construction business.  

If you are a realtor taking clients around, you want a decent, comfortable and reliable car but not one that may appear "flashy".I remember many years ago when the realtor husband of a friend of mine bought a new E-class and took clients to a showing, they began wondering about his "fees" and started to ask for a discount. 

If both of you are comfortable with 50% share then go with it.
