Defining Commission Models


April 1, 2009 by e-Partner · Leave a Comment 

The ability to create contemporary commission models is a requirement for profit and survivability in the New Real Estate Economy and when it comes to your commission model, creativity can work wonders.

One of the prerequisites for creating effective commission models is allow them to be driven by market area and Broker supplied assets. Another requirement is having an accurate market penetration model that allows you to hire agents in “NEW” markets who work from home offices, creating fee-based cash flow for Broker/Owners without the corresponding bricks and mortar commitment.

Listen to this e-Partner Podcast; it will help you think about your commission model(s).

Unlocking Franchise Economics – Part 3

Franchise Lock

Syndicated from REALonomics

Have we ever wondered how the consumer views our real estate industry franchises? If we are going to unlock franchise economics and truly understand the value propositions inherent in franchising we must also see them (franchises) as the consumer sees them and we must ONLY value them as does the consumer.

If you were to create a list of distinctions…real ones…dynamic ones…that separate one franchise brand from another in the eyes of the only true client, the consumer, what would those distinctions be and how are they manifest in the process of transacting business?

Enjoy the PhotoBlog below. Read it carefully and ask yourself what might happen if the consumer could place all franchises into one blender and extract the best. What would the “best” be? What are the clear distinctions between franchise A, B and C?
