Thank you all for your responses. I plan to keep my day job and do real estate on the side for now until the market picks back up. I don't see paying a desk fee is necessary if I'll be working from home and not doing real estate full time. Does anyone know of any agents in the Corona Area that has the Zero desk fee model?
Thanks for your input.

I work with Keller Williams and we should talk.

Office practices vary, but most follow the same model
You pay a technology fee of $15 and a office fee of $10, so $25 per month.
You can rent a desk or office, or just use a "day desk" if you work from home.
We offer profit sharing when you sponsor a new associate for the office.
We offer 'capping". Every office is different, in our office the profit cap is $28,000. Most agents are on a 70-30 split, when you hit $28,000 in your 30% side, you shift to 100% commission. So in just a few transactions you keep 100%.

I'd be happy to answer questions that you might have. Check my profile.

Hi Jason,

You can find brokers out there that do not charge desk fees, but in this difficult economic climate, I urge you to really think about your career and what a brokerage can bring to the table for you. If you are going to be making a living in this business, having the support of a flag brokerage may help you tremendously.

Be well, and good luck in your new geographic area!

Coldwell Banker has a 6% fee and then you also share your % split based on your performance. Starting at 50/50. Are you going to be working in Corona? Welcome to CA!
