Cons
Although they give you folders, booklets, unlimited supply of print and great marketing tools you pay 10% to the brokerage. In errors and omissions fee, a resource fee and compass doesn't allow you to be a solo agent entering the brokerage unless you have a track record. If you are invited on by a team you are allowed to join without having that requirement. You have to have a minimum $8 million in sold sale volume to join as a COMPASS solo agent. Also, it would be nice for the brokerage to have a, when you meet your goals you can get 100% of your commission and a large course that can improve agents such as some other brokerages offer like Keller Williams with their "BOLD" program.
