Have you ever wondered . . . . . What companies are the ones that the very rich and famous use to purchase their palatial palaces throughout the world. I'm sure that there are others and I had some difficulty gathering information from Japan, a few other Asian Countries and South America. I was amazed at the prices of some of the most elusive property sales in the world. The figures we just staggering and if for example one of us were to have negotiated the commission on one of the sales I have researched. If you were working at a 100% office, after deducting the fee of $225.00 for the office the check you would receive from escrow would have been $2,549,775.00 and something I could get use to without too much difficulty.
Although most of us could not comprehend receiving a check like that it is still amazing to know that this goes on probably on a regular basis. I have been in this business since 1972 and my biggest commission check most likely wouldn't even be a small fraction of that amount. I will say that the personal satisfaction I receive from helping others realize their dreams and getting paid to be doing something that I love is for me what it's all about. It used to be all about the money, now the money pays the bills and as I get older I have realized that it about the people and not the money.
If you focus on the people the money comes, if you focus on the money . . . . . . . . oh well, you'll just have to discover that one for yourself.
Here is the List . . . . . . . . . .
