Guaranteed Income: Every agent gets paid a guaranteed base plus bonuses.

A Real Job: Our agents are W2 employees; not independent contractors with no guaranteed paycheck. P.S. That means we also cover a large chunk of your payroll taxes.

A Real Career: Let's be honest; real estate has more turnover than a used car lot. We're different. Our average agent has been with us for more than 5 years*. Our size and success also provides advancement opportunities for agents that want to build a long term career. (*average tenure across all full time office agents as of November 2019)

Leads: We have leads. Every agent receives at least 180 new leads per month. Every lead is a renter that has registered on our website.

Referral Program: Increase your pipeline using our automated client referral program. Every client receives thank you letters, emails and business cards without you lifting a finger. #ThatWasEasy

BYOB (Bring Your Own Business): Honestly, we don't really need your leads - So we reward you with a 70% commission split on all Self-Generated leases. Want to sell houses? That's cool too. While most of our agents focus exclusively on their “9 to 5” Office Agent role, we provide the flexibility to pursue all real estate endeavors.

Realtor Designation Optional: Want to be a Realtor? We're setup for that. Would you rather avoid the Realtor fees? That's fine too. Realtor designation is optional for our agents.
