Commissions
Real Estate Professionals may not pay referral fees to anyone who is unlicensed.
Licensed Real Estate Professionals can register/ operate / get paid in any category. The Agent Resource Center is intended for networking and referral opportunities for currently licensed Agents and Brokers.
Non licensed professionals can register/ operate in any category NOT designated for Real Estate Professionals ONLY. Gov’t regulations prohibit sharing commissions with non-licensed practitioners of real estate. Areas like website building, staging homes, contractors, video, photography, investing, technology etc. are all fair game.
Buyers and Sellers may operate in any category NOT designated for Real Estate Professionals ONLY.
If you offer Niche sites please adhere to regulations concerning normal brokerage/agent duties as specified by local, state and national laws.
How is this different from Zillow, Trulia or FSBO type websites?
1. Philosophy First
We treat all participants as equals in the melting pot, provided commissions are distributed as governed by law.
A primary expense for real estate professionals is advertising and lead generation. Pay per click, website development, IDX fees , newspaper advertising and promotion etc. are some examples. We want to eliminate the excessive Middleman fees and redundant expenses wherever possible.
The big companies offer exceptional tools, but many professionals will not embrace the new reality of diverse solutions to the complex nature of real estate. Some actually see these terrific tools as competitive and adversarial; cutting into the business of professionals. There are usually fixed costs associated with these tools, regardless of results.
2. A Sense of Community
Rather than being an impersonal organization that performs statistical analysis, we strive to allow participants to gravitate to their “highest and best” niche, and to get paid accordingly for services rendered.
3. Results Oriented with A la Carte Options
Our system will help offer benefits to all upstream and downstream from agents and Brokers. This includes sellers, buyers, and various professionals and specialists who add on value. Users pay only for the services actually used as needed. Sophisticated players can gain exposure while reducing costs. Beginners can learn from seasoned pros.
