Join the Balboa Real Estate team and be apart of the best 100 percent commission model in the industry

The 100 percent commission plan has been around in the real estate industry for a long time. Many real estate agencies in California have advertised that their firms offer 100 percent commissions but when you get down to the details, there are many hidden costs that are involved and makes the 100 percent commission plan dwindle down to the broker taking half of the commission and leaving the agent with less than they deserve.

Many firms require that agents pay a startup fee upon joining. After those fees, there are monthly/quartly fees depending on the plan that you choose to go with. There might be key charge so that you may use the office. Many firms advertising 100 percent commission will charge their agents a fee for each transaction to use a transaction coordinator. One firm charges over $100 for a document storage fee. Another requires you to use a TC on your transactions and pay for those services. Since there are so many fees involved with joining a 100 percent commission firm, you would think there are many benefits that would make the monthly payments worth it. Many California Real Estate agencies offering 100 percent commission plans offer seminars, free printing, training and what not, but these benefits are not widely used by agents.

Agents would get more from a real 100 percent commission plan by joining Balboa Real Estate than the few dollars that they would gain from the free printing allowances from any other real estate firm in California offering 100 percent commission.

Join Balboa Real Estate and receive the best commission model in the industry. Our transaction fees start as low as $99. There are no monthly or quarterly fees. No sign-up fees. E&O insurance at no cost to agents. Use of our office and client meeting rooms without a key fee. No junk fees.

Is 100 Percent Commission Really 100%?

,


100 commission real estate100 percent comission, but is it really? Avoid additional and hidden fees with Balboa Real Estate.

Real Estate firms have adopted to the trend of offering agents 100 percent commission but through research of competing agencies in California there seems to be few that truly stand by their 100 percent commission tagline.

100 percent commission serves as a motivational strategy to keep agents and brokers engaged because this ideally works to ensures that the agents get the most out of their hard work. However, many of the leading firms in California have other fees that agents, new and seasoned, should be aware of. There is usually a start-up fee, a key charge for using the office, plans requiring monthly or quarterly fees and payments for E&O. Many firms will charge you unneccesary fees going towards benefits that are rarely used by agents. Don’t be fooled by firms stating 100 percent commission. The list of additional fees seems never ending and not even near the 100 percent commission mark once everything is calculated.

At Balboa Real Estate we won’t ask you to pay for services you don’t need or services that should be provided without additional costs. We believe that you should keep all of the commission that you earn and we are a firm that wants to make sure our agents are taken care of. There is a reason why Balboa Real Estate is one of the few true firms that stick as close to the essence of 100 percent commission as possible. Balboa Real Estate wants you to keep as much of the commission at possible and avoid charging our agents all the hidden fees that many other real estate firms charge. Our 100 percent commission plan is as simple, easy and the best in the industry!

Cloud Storage for Real Estate

,

 What is cloud storage and how it applies to Real Estate

By now most agents know what cloud storage is and how beneficial it can be for real estate agents.

Balboa Real Estate Turbo Transaction

To put it simply, cloud storage is a way for all your real estate documents and forms to be loaded onto a server that allows an agent to access them from any computer at any giventime. This server where all your files are stored on is called the “cloud.”

If you have gmail, hotmail, or any web-based e-mail then you are essentially already usually cloud storage. This is because all your e-mail and pictures that people send is stored somewhere else. An e-mail cloud is remote storage so you can access your e-mail from any computer with internet access.

If a real estate agent applies the same concept of accessing an e-mail cloud and applies it to accessing real estate transactions online, then they are using a real estate cloud.

Balboa Real Estate has developed a proprietary cloud exclusively for real estate transaction management.  It is entirely free for agents to use and the fastest and easiest way to submit completed files.

Once a listing is taken an agent can log on and in a matter of seconds upload the listing agreement. Same idea working with buyers. Any document uploaded can be accessed online and sent to any e-mail address at any time. Lost documents become a problem of the past.

When an offer is received on a listing an agent can open escrow, request a preliminary title report, and order and NHD all with a click of the button. This gives the agent a running start on expediting the transaction.

When an agent or the transaction coordinator uploads transaction documents throughout the escrow the the file will be complete so that there won’t be any last minute paper shuffling.

Turbo Transaction is another member service available for Balboa Real Estate agents. We offer agents 100% commission and residual income.

The #1 Mistake Agents Make with Their Website

,

This video explains the #1 mistake agents make with their website and how not to make them

Summary:  You may have noticed that most real estate agents have websites loaded with content. Usually everything a prospective resident would want to know about the community they would be moving to, school info, demographic statistics, even the weather. The problem is that the content is too general. Realtors try to cover too much area.
It is extremely challenging for agents to elbow their way into first page search engine ranking with the monsters like zillow, trulia, and redfin dominating most search results. The first step in having a change is to provide abundant quality, targeted, and specific content pertaining to a niche. Your website should be branded to a neighborhood, subdivision, or condo community. The more niche the better.

100% Commission Real Estate in the 1980’s?

,
This is quite hilarious, apparently 100 percent commission real estate is a relatively old concept.

This article, dated September 16, 1985, talk about the 100% commission trend in Florida

It’s surprising to see he charged $400 a month plus a transaction fee. Even in 2013 dollars that is way pricier than what current going rates are. 

You can find the original here or just read below:

Brokerage Trend: 100% Commissions Wall Street Company Switches To New Concept

September 16, 1985|By Jack Snyder of The Sentinel Staff

If real estate broker Jim Weinberg is right, the 100 percent real estate commission concept is going to be the coming thing in the residential real estate sales industry.

Weinberg has just converted his Wall Street Company residential brokerage from the conventional commission split structure to the 100 percent commission approach.

That means sales associates working out of Weinberg’s offices will get all of the commission they make on a sale. Previously, the associate got anywhere from 50 percent to 75 percent of the commission,depending on how much business the sales agent was producing.

In return for getting the entire commission, sales associates will now pay a $400 per month desk rental fee plus a small transaction fee on each sale. The associate also pays personal expenses such as long distance telephone calls, car expense and advertising. Associates in conventional brokerages pay a certain amount of their personal expenses now — car expense, for example.

Weinberg provides receptionist-secretarial help, access to the Realtor board computer, plat books, a full-time noncompetitive sales manager, training and a relocation system.

”It’s a win-win situation for both the broker and the agent,” Weinberg said.

The 100 percent commission concept surfaced several years ago, but has grown slowly in this market. A couple of years ago there was just one office — 100 Percent Realty — in the Orlando area utilizing the concept.

But the REMAX 100 percent franchise system moved into the area about a year ago and ”has done quite well,” Weinberg said.

Under the old commission system, for every 20 sales agents a broker had, four might be top producers, four might be so-so and the rest might be coming and going, he said.

Weinberg said all four Wall Street Company offices — Lake Mary, Maitland, Altamonte Springs and Winter Park — will be converted to the new system.
