I started selling real estate over 20 years ago.At that time the company I worked for charged 6% commission with 60/40 splits. The company kept 60% of all commissions I brought in. That split changed as your volume increased (or decreased). As the industry changed a different concept emerged and agents were charged a “desk” fee rather than a % fee. Another concept emerged and offered a “fee for service” to its agents.

When you walk into a bank to invest your money you are offered a choice; full or discount broker. A full broker will help you make decisions or you make all decisions yourself and pay a lesser fee for the use of their license to trade. Even the travel industry offers choice; agents that will help you or you do the work yourself. Classified advertising has changed. We can phone our ad into a publication company like the news paper and pay or we “post” our ad on the internet often for free.

Why can't we utilize these same concepts and apply them to the real estate industry?.
