​

8. What do I charge to be your Qualifying Broker?  For residential and commercial sales my qualifying broker fee may range from $250/monthly(few agents) to $800/monthly(many agents).  Everything is based upon risk involved for becoming your qualifying broker.  More agents, more risk.

In property management, my fee is based upon your previous experience in this area of real estate and whether you are a franchisee representing a franchisor.  Fees usually start at $500/monthly and can go up to $1000/monthly.

9. Ownership?  I have no equity in any of the firms that I represent.  My fees are flat with no additional charges.

 

10. Do I represent franchise owners of real estate brokerage companies?  Yes I do.  Presently I represent as the qualifying broker of record four franchises.  There is less risk for a qualifying broker in franchise sponsorship as the owner(s) have significant financial assets invested.  Less risk means less compensation for a qualifying broker.

12. Do I know your real estate market?   "All real estate is local," thus my knowledge of your market area valuations is not sufficient.   Therefore I do not pretend to hold any special expertise.
