So glad you posted, swashy. I know you have some insight into the RE industry, and I always appreciate you sharing it with me. I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said it seemed too easy though. I'm in no way thinking this is going to be easy, in fact I think I realize just how much work it's going to be. I was referring to this stage.... this step of choosing where to start out... where to build my business... the broker I will hang my license with. I think I'm going into this understanding how much this is going to require of me. None of what you said was a downer because it wasn't new information to me. I didn't expect to find a broker that offers the level of mentoring and training that this one appears to, for it to look like I'd be getting the best of both worlds with this team, to find him so easily and have him recruit me to boot, and this just seemed too good to be true... too easy, as I put it before. Hope I cleared that up.
I haven't asked for HIS numbers, but I asked what his average 1st year agent's income was and he shared that. He told me what the range was and some specific team members current numbers, and also a range of what he thought I could expect to make starting out. I know I need to talk more numbers (splits, fees, etc.) and probably do some negotiating before I commit, and you might have some ideas there. Do I need to ask for HIS numbers? He pays support staff and all the office expenses. I think there may be two separate agreements... one for me on the team, and one for me working as an agent myself.
