ARE YOU FINDING OUT WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW???

Before you can be scheduled to take your real estate exam, you will need to have a Brokerage sign as your sponsor.  You will probably want to interview with a few different companies to find the best fit for you and your individual situation.  Below are some questions that might assist you in your interviewing process.  It is so important to determine what type of financial arrangements each company has (how you are paid), and the type of training and support that are available to you.

►What type(s) of commission split is available to me?  Ask them to explain how commission splits work.
► Are there any monthly fees?
► What other costs will I incur?
►What is the cost for Errors and Omission Insurance and how is that charged to me?
► Do I have the availability, through the company, to have my own web site (not just a generic page)? 
► Can clients search for homes directly from my web site without going back to the company web site?
► Are forms and contracts on-line and able to be typed on?
► Is there a mentoring program in place?
► Is agent email available?
► Is voice mail available and if so, is there a charge for this?
► Is there a graphics and I. T. department available to me, and if so, is there a charge?
► Do you have a color copier available, and if so, what is the cost per copy?
► Do I receive my own calls on my listings?  Is it a requirement that the office phone # be on the sign, or just my own?
► Is there phone duty, and if so, am I required to take it?
► Do you offer continuing education?
► What type of training do you offer and is there a charge for this?
► How available will my manager be?
► Is training ongoing or just offered at the beginning?
► How does advertising work?
►Do you have a family and friends commission discounts?
