Pros
People-- becoming part of a family--even with the competition. Has a great training program and continual learning every week. ( " Learn to Earn " ) Stresses LIVE/WORK Balance and will teach you how to run a business, and focus on your God, your family and run your successful business. Gives back to agents in Profit sharing, if you want to get in ( at zero cost ) When our office makes a profit, owners give back part of the profit to all agents that are involved. Also, agent run Board ( called Associate leadership Council--ALC ) votes on any and all changes. At these open meetings is an "Open Book" - thus seeing where all the money comes and goes. Great "passive income" for the associates--I highly recommend looking into seeing a KW Team Leader or a KW Associate Realtor and pick their brain.
Cons
To keep cost down, support is on your own business. Make a higher split than any where else ( if you produce ) BUT, do it yourself. Can overcome this with great results ---you'll have more than enough money to hire your own team and still make more mula. If you don't want to learn how to do a lot of the paper work yourself, then make less % of commisssion somewhere else that has support.
