Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions. If you don't see your question here give Jess McClellan, Broker and President of HomeSense Realty, a call at (800) 330-2001.
How can you offer such an aggressive compensation plan?
Easy. By all the Agents being on the same page and by the office providing most ancillary services on an a-la-carte basis only to agents that actually need them (private offices, conference rooms, computer access, faxes, copiers, scanners, printers, and administrative support) without wasting space or money on the other "stuff" (useless square footage, needless salaries, antiquated systems), everyone benefits and clients receive the level of service that they desire. For those Agents that primarily use a home office, this program is about as good as it can get.
With so many Agents now and your current growth rate, how can I expect to get timely Broker support?
We know that when you need a Broker question answered, you need it answered now, not three days from now. We guarantee a half-day response period to your Broker question. As we grow, our model allows for more experienced Agents to be available to answer questions in a timely manner, You will always have access to answers promptly.
I am a brand new Agent. Shouldn't I go to a larger, national firm for training?
Our mentorship program is perfect for brand new Agents as well as those wishing to further enhance their career. Agents who enter our mentorship program will have a "one-on-one" relationship with one of our mentors. Our goal is to help Agents get their career off and running with all the basics of real estate being covered including techniques on how to Prospect, Present, Negotiate, and Close.
Where's the catch? What hidden fees are you not Disclosing?
Absolutely none. If you do not use the additional formal office services, you will not pay anything above your monthly dues and per-transaction fee. The monthly fee does include a receptionist to personally greet your clients, mail handling/forwarding (if you choose), a personal office voice mail with live call forwarding, online forms, a dedicated toll-free office number, and a branded email account among other benefits. The per-transaction fee includes Errors and Omissions coverage and file retention. Other expenditures that an Agent should plan for might include: signs/riders, sign installation, lockboxes/keys, REALTOR Association Dues, Multiple Listing Service Dues, advertising, business cards and stationary (use of print-ready artwork is provided), licensing and continuing education, internet access, fax capabilities, cellular phone charges, anything specifically agreed to with Buyers and/or Sellers, and other business-related expenses. Of course, many of these business expenses are present with all Companies, but HomeSense Realty allows Agent overhead (if any) to be truly Agent-controlled.
Do I have to charge my customers a set amount for my services?
No. There is no arbitrary standard here. You have complete autonomy when deciding what to charge for your services without ever having to call and ask your broker. You and your client can choose the level of service most appropriate to meet your client's goals. Remember, your Broker’s split is only $395 per Transaction.
Do you have an affiliated Mortgage company?
Absolutely. However, unlike most companies, we do not require or push Agents (or customers) into using these services. They are available to those that simply want the option. We do not currently pay Agents for Mortgage referrals.
Do you pay a referral bonus to me if I refer other agents to the company?
You bet. We will pay the referring Agent 10% of the amount the agent they refer contributes to the company each and every year that Agent is with HomeSense Realty (payable annually). We teach our Agents that even though our fees are the lowest anywhere, an Agent can reduce that amount even further by referring quality agents to the company. Do the math. Refer a few Agents and you could have access to everything HomeSense Realty has to offer for a lot less than you might think.
Won't I get lost in such a large company?
Yes and No. It depends on what you want. We realize that some Agents want to be left alone to conduct their business and we respect that. However, for Agents who want and enjoy the feel of a team atmosphere we have several opportunities available.
How do HomeSense Realty Agents work in the “real world?”
As with the less-than-agent-friendly Brokerages out there, most Agents work from their home or mobile offices. In fact, in this new age of real estate, Agents never have to go to the office if they do not want to. Most business can be handled through the Internet, fax, telephone, regular and overnight mail. Agents can literally work from anywhere. Forms can be downloaded and printed, property searches can be conducted, files can be set up and updated, and commission checks can be processed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without ever having to leave your home office. It’s smarter, faster, and more efficient. Of course, there are times when a client may feel more comfortable meeting you at your office. No problem, just make the appointment and meet your client in a professional office environment.
Why am I paying more to my current company?
That is one you will have to answer yourself. We would love to have you contact us so we can investigate the answer together and see if HomeSense might make sense for you. Call Jess McClellan, Broker/President, at (800) 330-2001 to discuss.
Common Agent Mistakes When Choosing a Company.
There are five critical and common mistakes made by many Agents in today’s marketplace. Most companies are sure you will make at least some of these. In fact, they are counting on it since their business model depends on it!
At HomeSense Realty we don’t want you to make these costly mistakes. Read on, your next decision is critical to your continued success and profitability. We are speaking, of course, about your choice of Real Estate Companies with which you will affiliate and trust your future.
Mistake #1 – Never agree to a commission split.
You see, it really is your hard work that earns the money, so it really is your money. For decades brokers and companies have taken as much as 50% of an Agent’s commission. Many companies will provide you with lots of sales-speak to justify keeping your money but it is just “talk.” In reality, most companies provide very little of true value to an Agent and, in return, keep an extremely unfair amount of an Agent’s money. Why? Well, that’s just the way it has always been…until now.
Mistake #2 – Never pay a franchise fee.
Many Agents are led to believe that a franchise company is a security blanket. This is wrong. The days of the traditional franchise are numbered. Today’s savvy consumer is concerned about two things; the personal Agent with whom they will be dealing, and their bottom line. The fallacy that a company name or company advertisement sells houses is simply not true. Would you by a house that you didn’t love just because it was listed with a franchise company? The fact is, houses sell houses, not company names. When an Agent pays a franchise fee of 5%, 6%, or even 8% to a company, they simply are not getting anything back for their money. As a businessperson you must abide by some simple yet critical rules of good business. For example, never spend money unless it will make you money and only then if it will make you more money than spending it somewhere else. It is true that, for the majority of Agents in a franchise organization, very few of their deals can be directly attributed to the company. So again, why pay something for nothing?
Mistake #3 – Never give up control of your business.
In today’s competitive marketplace flexibility is the key to success. It is critical that you have full control over your business and the ability to choose the cost of your services. In other real estate companies, you are either prohibited from, or financially penalized for, offering anything to the customer other than the strict company policy. Buyers and Sellers today are placing greater demands on Agents for service, lower cost of sale, and control over the transaction. Most companies have not yet realized what is happening and are holding to outdated and archaic approaches to the business. Agents today need the freedom and flexibility to negotiate with both Buyers and Sellers when it comes to providing their services to them. It’s your business and it’s your money.
Mistake #4 – Never sign a long-term, restrictive agreement.
At HomeSense Realty you have a choice. We do not require a long-term agreement and should you decide you would be happier with another company, you get to take your listings and buyers with you…free and clear with no penalties. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
Mistake #5 – Not gathering and considering all the facts.
At HomeSense Realty we know that choosing the right path in life can bring you endless rewards, while making the wrong choice will bring you many hard and costly lessons. All too often, new Agents become impatient with the process of choosing a company to affiliate with, and seasoned veterans sometimes become too comfortable with the way things have always been done. This is one time you need to take your time and be thorough.
