William,
We lucked out from the very beginning. Both brokerages we worked for did not play those silly games. Then we opened our own, and did not nickel and dime either. A

I took a continuing ed class at another brokerage that I know nickel and dimes. And the coffee and sodas all came from vending machines. My broker is really good to us. After working for companies that regarded the agents as little profit centers over and above the listings and sales they made, it is a breath of fresh air.

William - I am blessed, as they absolutely do not. It is very clean and straightforward, and they are more than fair.

Not at all. We have a fair office policy when it comes to everything, and we also have a profit sharing plan.

No but we have a fairly sizable technology fee every quarter that we are assessed that is supposed to cover the small fees.

I went that route with a big name company when I started out. I learned my lesson and moved on. For me, fee based is the way to go.

My brokerage is not charging us for every little fee. I've spoken to agents that are charged according to size or location of their desk. Paper products and systems that are in place.
Our office is simple and growing! We have training and round table type groups that I participate. (free)
This is our business and we pay for our needs including MLS/ Associations / E&O. Plus .25 per colored sheet printed at office.

No.
They jumped straight into BIG fees for mandatory services.
Our brokers have a way of reminding agents we are just part of the food chain.

The fees add up quickly. Printing, flyer, desk fee, phone fee, parking fee, escrow fee, franchise fee, technology fee. When you see newer agents pack and leave, they still talk about profit sharing, capping etc. you know they nickel and dime you. This brokerage offered me to be a minor owner and gave me a cap. You are kidding....

No. We even get a free meal every month at our "Taco Tuesday". Our agents actually like to hang out together.

William,
One more advantage to being the boss. I treat myself very well.

Not at all. Just a small monthly fee, then E & O and Office fee at closing. Easy peazy!
