The most searched question in the industry and the one with the least honest answers. This pillar is the complete version: how the money works, what to ask, what to negotiate, and how a switch actually runs.
A brokerage decision is made once every few years and shapes everything in between: what you keep, who answers on a hard file, what status your submissions carry, and whether year six looks different from year two. This pillar is written by a brokerage, so read it with that in mind; it is also written to be true, which is why it tells you how to compare us with everyone else.
Splits explained and net income, not split, with the eight line worksheet.
The questions to ask, including the ones about leaving.
Switching: the mechanics, including clients, pipeline and licensing.
Compare net income, not split, and put every fee on one sheet. Then test the support with specifics: who answers at 9pm, what status your files carry, what head office processes, what marketing produced last quarter. We publish our fee philosophy and not our numbers; compensation here is top tier and competitive, set against your volume, and worked through on a discovery call with your last twelve months in front of us. Every fee is in writing before you sign. Clients you originate are yours, including the renewal.
Book a discovery call and bring the other offers. We will run all of them through the net income worksheet with you, including ours.
