Great for new agents!

Pros

KW provides the training a new agent needs but does not get in their licensing coursework. Each office has training in marketing, listing presentations, home inspections, closings and a host of other things a new agent needs to learn about.

Cons

KW takes a fairly high chunk of your commissions (their 'split'). For a new agent it is well worth it to get the training. Once you feel comfortable as an experienced agent, you may choose a broker with a better commission split.

Pros

Agents have a lot of resources available to them. Access to coaches and classes which are especially helpful to those just getting started in real estate.

Cons

Commission splits are tough starting out. A typical split that new agents will get is 70/30 which doesn't sound terrible. However, you also have to pay a 5% coaching fee and a 6% royalties fee for every transaction. So you actually give up an extra 11% of your GROSS commission until you cap out for the year. For example, say you get a lease commission for $1000.00. $300 goes to the broker, $50 for coaching, $60 for royalties. So of the original $1000 you are left with $590 and you still have to pay taxes on it. Keep in mind, every broker is different and there are plenty of people that are wildly successful under this system. Just be prepared when you start, have money in savings, or have side gigs lined up. Real Estate is an all or nothing game. Good luck!

Pros

Training, printed and computerized teaching materials.

Cons

Training is information overload, "Drinking Through a Fire Hose" You are a number, unless you know someone or you're related to someone You are absolutely ON YOUR OWN!!! They offer a 65/35 split for new agents who haven't "capped"but when you get you first commission check you find that the split is actually 60/40 because there's a MANDATORY 5% coaching fee! You are required to pay the coaching fee until you cap! Even if you don't use the coach!
