Real estate payments to agents are in the form of straight commissions negotiated with buyers and sellers for the vast majority of business models. But what about
A Retainer Fee Model Instead?
Some companies are offering up these models as a $ per hour or just pay for the tasks a client needs as an alternative. What do you think about this? In the legal field this is how it works now. You pay for specifically what you need.
I do have my own thoughts on this but I wanted to open it up to YOUR ideas looking toward the future. Would this be disastrous and put more agents out of work, or is this the next 21st century model that is a more smart way to ALWAYS get paid for everything you do?
My graphic kind of leans my way of thinking that a client PAYS YOU FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS so he or she can sleep at night without insomnia and you basically take care of them. The other model requires quite a bit of do it yourselfer from the client.
What do you think with retainer or task per hour fees? The wave of the future or another fad destined to fade?
