I just read an intersting post in one of the real estate groups I am part of on Facebook. Married Realtors who are also a "team" got better financial perks with their broker versus other "teams" with non-married team leaders. Better splits and less fees.
I don't get it.
My first thought is that John and Betty Smith would share the same last name, which means they could share the production. But why would the broker care or provide any financial perks to a married couple versus a non-married couple. The brokerage in question is a national brand, but it doesn't necessiarly mean that it is a system wide policy. In my area, all the RE/MAX offices are independent franchises, with each having various office polices and procedures.
In any case, I can't imagine being in an office where a husband and wife team got to "pay less' simply because they were married.
What's good for one team, should be good for all teams.
