In a Declining Market, Success Means Eliminating Fixed Costs!
Being a real estate agent in today's slow market is tough. As a whole, the California market is in a steep decline, and San Diego with its boom and bust history seems to be leading the charge downward. Many agents are heading for the sidelines. What steps are you taking to make it in these tough times?
Many brokerages are folding or consolidating into bigger companies because they can't afford to exist given the high cost of doing business. To ride out the storm, some brokerages have to tighten up on their agents. That's right, your brokerage has to cover its fixed costs which remain constant even during slow times, which means that even though your volume of sales may have slowed dramatically, your brokerage needs to bring in the same amount to pay the bills and keep the doors open.
You've felt the crunch haven't you? Some agents are having their commission splits decreased and/or being forced to pay fixed periodic costs upfront. The large corporate brokers are still charging their agents a franchise fee of 7% per transaction and/or forcing their agents to use their in house transaction coordinator and making them pay a monthly fee for it whether they close any transactions or not. Is your broker changing the rules on you? Are you being made to pay prepaid E&O, fixed fees, and other fees up front and throughout the year before you even close a deal? Maybe you didn't think much about your commission split or the costs of all those pesky fees during the good times 3 years ago, but now perhaps you're thinking its time to concentrate on the other aspect of making money - cutting costs and getting more of your hard earned commission from each transaction you close.

You decide how you want to run your business. With today's big corporate brokerages affiliated with their own title companies, mortgage companies, ect, agents can feel pressured or obligated to run their deals through a representative that just doesn't cut the mustard. At some of the big brokerages, competing reps aren't even allowed into the corporate office. Here at Capital Realty, you choose who you do business with.
Want to List a Home for 4%? Or even 3%? Go Ahead!
Today's market has become very competitive with discount brokerages listing homes for incredibly cheap fees, and if you can't compete with it, you lose. But many brokerages won't let you compete. The large brokerages won't let you go under 5%, and some count their commission split based on a 6% listing even if you list it at 5%! At Capital Realty, you're encouraged to compete, and you can because you're getting a larger share of the commission pie. There are no restrictions on the amount or method of commission you charge to clients. You decide! Our phillosophy is that we do what we need to service our clients best. Let the market dictate how you do business, because in the long run, that is how you'll succeed!
No Office Bureaucracy
As a member of Capital Realty, you'll have more time to serve your clients instead of dealing with office bureaucracy. Ever want to farm an area, but find out you can't because another tenured agent in your office already farms it? At Capital Realty, you're free to work any area you want.
Many top producing agents feel that the central office environment only distracts them from their goals. Ask yourself, "Am I realizing my full potential having to deal with the central office balony?" If not, come join us at Capital Realty! Many brokerages offer you a desk, a phone, and a monthly ration of stamps - in exchange for half your commission. On top of that, you end up almost forced, or at least obligated, to go on long caravans and sit at the "up desk" answering phone calls and paging other agents - essentially working as a receptionist - for free! Well, if you did the math, you would see that you would be much better off getting your own desk, phone, and stamps, run your business how you want - and KEEP MORE OF YOUR COMMISSION!!.

100% commission??!!
Some brokerages nowadays are offering a 100% commission structure, but instead charge monthly fees, administration fees, maintenance fees, etc, etc. This leaves you at the risk of paying money without making money - and how is that going to help you in the anticipated slow times ahead? At Capital Realty, we don't make any money from you until you make money. That's why, unlike most other brokerages, we don't even charge a start up fee. We feel that your success is our success. By taking only 5% of each deal you close, our commission program helps you succeed in any market.
