    Default Higher Commission Question

    Is it true that the higher your commission split, the more brokers charge you desk fees and lockbox fees, etc?

    Not at all. It really depend on an agency policy. For example. in my agency I started with 50/50 split, which is seems unfair at first. However, I don't pay for anything else, even mail-outs and received free and extensive training. I know from other agencies that split could be 100% to the agent and agent just pays $395 for any transaction. I don't know how these agencies making money, but if it is convenient for them and it works -- why not? So, in general, I don't see this formula is exists -- the more commissions, more desk fees.

    This is an easy assumption to make however it is not true. As stated above, it depends on the company. I will say however that if you show me a VERY high split rate, it will almost always be matched with a high fee rate. Depending on your conversion rate of business, this may be the way to go.
