When someone says, "Sure, I'm gonna sell my house to you"; the lender says, "Here's your approval letter for payoff", the buyer says, "Here's my offer", the title agent hands me that nice check at closing.

If you get out on nice Saturday and Sunday afternoons you'll hit open houses and be able to do some looking without having an agent involved.

Now, 17 years later, I have a nice system for oning rental property and great equity lines so I can and do what ever the market says makes sense.I think the RE game takes money.

Since you are a new agent you need training.A 90% split might sound nice, but when you add in the desk fess and other stuff, it is no better than a 50% split in some cases.If you have the volume of sales, a 50/50 split may be OK with no other expenses.

Nice meeting you all.
