1. This is totally negotiable between the agent and broker. It all depends what kind of support you receive- if you pay your own desk space, phone, copies, etc. you will most likely get a higher commission than if the broker is assuming those expenses. When I started out, I had a 50/50 split. After a few years of success, I had a 70/30 split- with my share being 70%, and most expenses paid by the broker. It doesn't matter which broker you go to- it depends on your individual deal. The support the broker gives is sometimes more important than the split. Some questions to ask: Will you get floortime? What are the advertising policies? Do they give you a desk and phone, or do you have to share with other agents? Commission split is just one part of the big picture. And yes, you can go anywhere you want after you take your real estate course and pass the licensing exam. Interview around and talk to a lot of brokers. Think about what you want-- a small boutique, or a large stable? Ask how you will be supported. When you are a new agent, you know nothing, even after you pass the test. Will someone knowledgable go with you if you get a listing appointment? Who will look over your work product? Some places ( Weichert) have mentoring programs-but you pay the agent mentoring you out of your commissions. You have a lot of questions to ask before you sign on with a broker. Good luck.
2. Negotiate the split. most of the time it starts at 50/50 Unless someone fell asleep. C-21 requires a contractual agreement to stay with them when they school you. It’s usually a year. This is a good time to practice the habit “be loyal to the brand" as the cowboys would say. Good luck.
