A FUNNY THING HAPPENED....

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sellstate Realty First

A funny thing happened to me today.  I received an email that said; Dear Joseph, Your production last year was impressive according to MLS data.  It went on to say 100% commission minus one small flat fee. (negotiable), compensation on loans generated without a lot of extra work. and NOBODY WILL DO WHAT WE ARE DOING!

Well I just so happen to own a company that pays 100% commission and pays compensation on loans that meet RESPA guidelines.  We have two programs the Advantage that is a per transaction fee or if you are a producer, the Maximizer that is a monthly program.  With the maximizer if you close one transaction a month you pay $608 for that transaction, two in a month and you pay $353.50 per transaction and three per month you pay $268.67 per transaction.  I could go on and on, but you see how we roll, the more you close the less it costs you.

Our company has been in existence for 12 years and we started the new compensation program 2 years ago.  I guess maybe that is why the Sacramento Business Journal has listed us as the eighth fastest growing company and the only Real Estate office in the top 100 for the last 2 years.  You can even go to our web site at www.gorealtyfirst.com click on meet our team and ask one of our members why they chose REALTY FIRST REAL ESTATE AND MORTGAGE SERVICES.

The other funny thing is I have been a lender for 32 years and my production is not listed in MLS.  And no I won't be doing what they are doing, our program is better.

I get these spam e-mails all the time. Can't seem to stop them. They come the same message from multiple e-mails.

Rebecca & Thomas - I pretty much realized that it was spam because I do the same thing.  How else can I get so many Realtors to look at my business model?  Like others, I am always recruiting.

Diane - I have a contract that was drawn up by a RESPA attorney.  According to RESPA there are 13 items a Loan Officer does to get paid.  If a Realtor does 6 of the 13, they can also be compensated.
