BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Growing up I was always
told that you get what you pay for", states Jabin Norris, Founder and President of PROACTIVE
Real Estate. "I never saw this before the way I did after entering
a career in real estate. Regularly I would receive calls from real
estate firms with lavish offers of high splits and endless
promises. Often, to my disappointment, I came to find out that the
offers were matched with hidden fees and hesitant answers about
support, training and leads."
The 1099 pays the bills, not
commission splits.
Headline pricing is a great deception for professionals in the
real estate industry. The narrative is focused on the topline
commission split and distracts real estate professionals from their
bottom-line profit. Then, we wake up one day dissatisfied and find
it difficult to make a move because we did not negotiate a good
exit plan in our independent contractor agreement.
Being a top producer through the Housing Crash of '08 opened my
eyes to the fact that the dollar amount on my 1099 pays the bills,
not the percent amount of my commission split. The support,
training and leads I received from the real estate firm I practiced
at made all the difference when compared to a higher split
somewhere else with a lack of value.
When conversing with real estate professionals about their
business, common questions that come up are: How often are you
asked if you need support? Are you given a list of resources to use
in your daily business? Is your current firm Hyperlocal®? Do you
pay for your print, office supplies, signs and marketing? How much
does a company generated lead cost you? Are you offered an
opportunity for ancillary income? The list goes on, but I find that
most offerings from real estate firms are at best, hollow.
It is frustrating to see this industry trend populate over the
past decade. The result for PROACTIVE Real Estate is a
motivation to build and evolve the most aggressive and competitive,
all inclusive, end-to-end business model for real estate
professionals. We provide an environment where professionals can
focus on revenue generating activities and not on how much this or
that will cost or needing to set aside time to create a marketing
piece.
In today's market shift, our time is more valuable than ever. It
is hard to put a price on that. The question should never be what
is my split, but rather how does my 1099 look?
