New agent choices - Re/Max, Century21, Keller Williams, Other?

1) What makes one better than the other?

I dont think one is necessarily "better". The name is only as good as the proficiency, service and value to "consumers" ie clients. I'm sure there will be alot of consumers out there who can give you wonderful testimonials and ugly stories about Remax, KW and other agents.

2) Why choose 50/50 splits instead of 70/30?

If I was a rookie agent, the split wouldnt matter as much (ie paying for "education"). If I have in the the industry a long time, built up a good stream of referals and SOIs, (for me) maybe as low as possible (to the brokerage).

3) Is the training each offers that much different?

Sorry, I was never at Remax or KW to know that. I have been in 2 different independent brokerage firms though. My rookie year, my broker also started his brokerage. I really had one-to-one mentorship, he took me to showings, etc. He was awesome in my "growth". I recently left there to be closer to home. This broker didnt offer as much training. But then again, I really dont need it like I did when I first started.

4) How did you decide?

My answer in (3)

5) If you've been in the biz a while, do you now wish you had chosen differently?

Per (3), not really. That's really how I intend to "train" my agents in the future. Until I can be productive on my own (reaching my target profits 3 years in a row), I wont start.
