    I'm with KW, and I love my office. Every KW office is individually owned and operated, and the office Chastin was at sounds nothing like my office. Once I cap (and I cap every year), I am at 100% commission until my year resets. I get free training, free coaching, free email, free online database, free CMS, and support. I love the people at my office, and even though many companies (including eXp) have tried to recruit me, I don't plan on leaving KW anytime soon. #SixFigureAgent

      @Chris Cumbo I wish every office was honest about it... My office (I'm discovering) is different from some others, even within the same city. That's why I think it's problematic to paint every KW office with the same brush, because each one is independently owned and operated, and some are definitely better than others. (Which goes for every brokerage, really.)

      Cici, if I may ask you a question, I just got my license and I'm super excited to learn the trade. There is a KW office close to me that is one of the best in my county. But meeting with the trainer/associate broker who leads the sales team, he didn't seem that wild on me (his arms were crossed and I got the vibe that he didn't like me) He offered 40/60 split, plus 6% to KW, cap of $8k...I don't mind making peanuts because of the training, but is it normal to have people take your thunder? I feel weak like I was already judged, but then again, I'm sensitive dude, and I need to develop tough skin. May I have your opinion? And I'm also interviewing other brokers too but the KW training I dig. I can do about a year, if it means I'll be learning. I've had to prove myself my whole life, shouldn't be any different now.

      @@free0401 Yes, and that fee differs at each office. I'm with a Keller Williams office in Jacksonville where the fee is $45, but I'm also with a Keller Williams office in Atlanta where the fee is $95. (I'm licensed in both FL and GA.) This includes online tools (database tools, marketing/design tools, etc) and training. In both places, free training is offered every month in things like contracts, marketing, building a team, working FSBOs, etc. These are taught by top producing agents in our offices, as well as vendors like home inspectors and title companies. I actually taught a mastermind on how to make full-time money as a part-time agent (I wrote a book about it, which is why they asked me to do it). We learn from each other, which is the best type of environment, IMO.

And if it is the actual office, I would select another one. I probably wouldn't join his team. Sounds like it may not be a good fit.

    KW agents in my area $102k avg. Berkshire is $91k. Coldwell $65K. Century 21 $60k. Exp Realty is $41k.... Customers love Keller Williams. Also, after you make $2Million in production you keep 100%. So, when you grow at another company you leave money on the table. The #1 producer for Berkshire Hathaway left and went to Keller Williams after working at Berkshire for 20+ years. He used to make fun of KW now it's his empowerment.

    I'm with KW and I really do think that it depends on the MC. Listen, "grass is always greener on the other side". Couple of things that were shared are either not fully accurate or it was THAT particular MC.
    Remember that each office is different.
    Coaching: I have a PC Coach that I meet with every morning Mon-Friday. I can call/text with any questions and he answers. Like, really answers. I called one time on his vacation and he helped me with my first transaction. NO fee.
    Training: Yes, you do have some "old heads" haha but they know their stuff. They have done it all and know what speed bumps and how to avoid them. I'm ok with them being a "blackberry" they are saving me a lot of headache.
    Fees: Not sure who is printing now a days... Don't get a desk, work at a coffee shop/at home. There are going to be fees.
    Last point: Don't worry about the commission. You are new. You haven't done a deal but for some reason we all expect to earn $100,000 our first year. Get some training under your belt. Learn how to close a deal first. Build up your resume, then when you need to move on, do it. But find a place that can help build you into a better agent first. Doesn't matter if you are at 100% commission but don't know what forms to fill when you need to change the contract or don't know your contract laws and you either lose the deal or you lose your client.

    I joined KW at the beginning of the pandemic. It felt like they were struggling to make the pivot to the virtual space. The trainings all felt really old and stale as they comfortably rested on their ‘tried and true’ methods. Zero enthusiasm, contrived at best. When I announced I was moving to eXp their hubris made me sick to my stomach. Not that I was expecting them to be happy or encouraging or anything. Cap was 24k, I never once met the PB, my productivity coach wasn’t the most helpful and clearly had their favorites, I found myself searching CZcams for answers and desk fees made no sense as we weren’t even allowed to go there under lockdown rules. This was just my experience at my particular market center.

I don't have time to be running to the office everyday. I have my own home office and I'm pretty resourceful, I don't go to the MC if I don't have to. I couldn't have had the liberty of joining KW if I hadn't already had a good income already and the financial support of my husband. It does cost a lot of money to get started. I pretty much made no money the first year. I paid a lot of fees.

    While I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying, I'll just point out that you say KW is just thinking about themselves and trying to sell you a dream to fill their roster and pay their fees. News for ya: They're ALL that way. The online ones, because of lower overhead, aren't as greedy about it, but they're no different. Human greed and self-centeredness hasn't changed in 5,000 years.

    • @whiteskull1067
      @whiteskull1067 Před 3 lety +1

      I think it's important to call the big players into the spotlight so the conversation for change would start. There do exist companies who are brilliant to their clients AND their agents and we shouldn't be satisfied until that is the norm and not the exception (this is also a blanket statement pertaining to all companies from all industries). I understand your comment but's a bit jaded and while somewhat realistic, it closes the door on possible change. And for the lady above my comment, that is true but we should have the right to demand better quality treatment from someone who takes a slice of our pie. The entire industry as a whole should be elevated.

    • @whiteskull1067
      @whiteskull1067 Před 3 lety +1

      And as for human greed not changing for 5,000 years that is largely due to us being unaware of how our instincts work. Greed is a product of the survival instinct. Thankfully many of us are tapping into the 'higher consciousness' to separate ourselves from this. I work for a RE marketing company and my boss is like this. Not greedy. He knows he's brilliant so he doesn't need to screw clients over and further he does not do anything dishonorable. So our products are low cost high value and our company/team is aligned with that mentality. If he could do it, other businesses can. And i believe it's because of technology and the internet that these ideas and ways of doing business is slowly spreading.

    • @whiteskull1067
      @whiteskull1067 Před 3 lety

      Sorry for the spam but my boss is also very well off and is continuing to learn more skills to make more money that way, instead of minimizing overhead and maximizing cost. So you can be honorable AND become a millionaire. It takes way more work and the majority would rather be lazy and greedy (like the companies you described). Hopefully in the wake of more high quality humans, those will die out.

      They made me great promises and assured me they had mentors so I joined but after just one week I realized it wasn't true the mentors told me to go figure it all out and the classes are not the real estate training that is necessary to go apply everything like going over the contracts. They went on for hours weekly and I realized this is not what I need so I resigned after only a couple weeks. They continued to charge my card every month even though I called them too and had to call my c/c company to reverse payments, it went on for 6 months till my card expired and they wouldn't charge it anymore. Maybe other locations are different but this was my experience at the one I went to. I found a great mentor at a Remax brokerage and have been there since and am doing great. They have wonderful support and mentoring, it is defiently a brokerage for life.

  • @HansandKristin
    @HansandKristin Před 3 lety +9

    I'm on the education committee with my KW market center. I can tell you most of the training is put in place to help agents get started and into production. That said, we do make an effort to add weekly classes to refine nuanced skills or help people scale their business once they get going.
    We also have a mentorship program where active agents work with new agents one on one and get paid a small part of their first few comissions so there is incentive all around.
    At the end of the day, the "training and technology" doesn't mean a thing if the agent doesn't have what it takes.

    A lot of this echos my experience in selling alarm systems and cameras door to door.
    The training was very comprehensive and it was well structured. I learned a LOT about sales, about handling rejection, about controlling the conversation, but they weren't addressing the changes in the space.
    The techniques I learned in their training class, I still use today at my current job as well as my daily life. The fundamentals were solid.
    But the way they taught us to handle some rejections that are new to the industry fell flat. A common rejection was that they have a dog so don't need an alarm system. We were told to flip the script and tell a story about how one person's dog barked when a burglar tried to enter the home while the family was out. The barking startled the intruder, who then shot and killed the dog AND robbed the house, and the family only found out hours after the fact. Having an alarm system could have prevented the dog's death. We were also supposed to ask the customer if their dog was a piece of equipment, or a part of the family.
    Also, simpli safe sells full home systems for like $100. It's essentially the same package of cameras and sensors we were selling for $500, but with cheaper monthly monitoring and no charge for install.

    Every brokerage office/firm is unique with each one having pros and cons. Their brokerage models, business values, and training resources also differ. There's no "perfect" firm that suits everybody. My advice to new independent contractor (IC) agents is to interview 3-5 different firms. Visit their websites and do some homework. Do you think it will be the right organizational fit? How's their company culture? Etc. Then go with the firm you're most comfortable with; the one that aligns with your values and career goals. It's also important to understand that you're starting a small business (sole proprietorship) as an IC. You won't be an employee of the firm in most cases. Therefore, you must learn quickly to adopt a "business mindset." As a new business owner of a real estate sales practice, many of the administrative, desk, and training fees charged to IC agents are tax deductible. So in this instance, the KW fees may not be a deal breaker. It all really depends on YOUR needs and YOUR goals.

    I have been with KW since 2012. I have been involved in many positions within the company from Director of Operations, Single Agent, and Agent on a team. Before 2012, I was with two other brokerages. Each office is independently owned and splits and fees are different within each office. If you consider constant support, training, culture, passive income, being with the largest in sales volume company in the world overrated, then maybe real estate just isn't for you. Agents also cap royalty fees as well. In some companies you there is no cap on royalty. If you are a new or experienced agent it is imperative to get the facts of fees and splits. No matter who you work for the industry is tough right now and I wish everyone the most success in your Real Estate career! Keep developing relationships!

    Your points are cracking me up! The fees at my KW Market Center are $75 per month. Every year I cap within one month and make 100% commission the rest of the year. We have tons of training and it's very updated. ur market center truly does care about how our agents succeed (I'm on the leadership council and am the agent advocate). Gary Keller leads the real estate industry so I'm not sure you have a good grasp of real estate history, technology, training, etc . Honestly sounds like you're trying put people onto the path of a virtual company....say eXp...hmmm. I was with eXp and absolutely hated it. No support because your broker is in that little silly virtual world and in real life they're several hours away. Each KW Market center is it's own and I think for you to take such a general perception and put it out to the world, is ridiculous.
