On the Cover
How Two Leading Brokerage Firms Are Redefining Agent Compensation
Even though we’re more than one year past the Burnett v. National Association of Realtors et al lawsuit settlement, the term “commission” is still treated like a bad word, often spoken about in whispers or behind closed doors. Yet commissions are how real estate professionals make their living, and a key part of how brokerage firms attract, cultivate and retain highly productive agents. And in today’s environment, there is more pressure on commissions than ever before, and brokerage profit margins balance on a razor’s edge. Therefore, like almost every aspect of the real estate industry, commission plans are evolving, and financial success for agents involves so much more than what percentage of the transaction they take home. In this month’s cover story, United Real Estate President Rick Haase and Fathom CEO Marco Fregenal provide a detailed look inside their agent compensation plans and how they’ve set out to create a package that gives agents both a market advantage and a bright financial future.
