Before you commit anywhere, ask whoever's bringing you in the boring operational stuff: what happens when I have a contract question at 7pm on a Saturday, who specifically answers, and how fast. Then ask them to walk you through week one, day by day.\n\n What you're listening for is whether they answer in",

I’m on a 70/30 split and have $22k cap, + a 5% franchise fee, $95 “Tech fee” for a generic website and a sales force CRM. I don’t get any leads or expect any leads from them, so I do all my own prospecting. To be honest, I’m not impressed with what this brokerage provides and it’s hard for me to want to stay here because I don’t see the value in paying so much upfront and I need to retain as much of my commission as possible while I’m rebuilding my database. Curious, what are some solid brokerages that have a good reputation who don’t overcharge you in fees? Curious, could anyone who work for Compass, eXp, Real Broker or Windermere give their honest opinion about how they like it? Those are the ones I’m considering but open to other options.",
