Discover How to Own a Brokerage Without Becoming a Broker
Every brokerage has three parts: the shareholders, the broker, and the sales associates. However, this does not mean that you need to become a broker to own your own real estate company. Let's explore how:
Own Your Own Brokerage
Own a real estate company and continue to be a sales associate, without needing to be a broker. When your deals close, the funds flow deposited directly into your business bank account.
Traditional Brokerage
When a deal closes and the funds flow to the broker, commission is paid lastly to you, the sales associate.
-
Shareholder
Funds flow directly to the owner(s) of the company.
-
Broker
Typically, to be the shareholder, you need to be a broker, taking on more responsibility and training.
-
Sales Associate
You get your commission paid to you last.
- VS -
Qualifying Broker
By forming your own real estate company, you can register it as a brokerage once you hire the full support of a Qualifying Broker to oversee your deals.
-
Shareholder (100% you)
All funds from deals flow directly to your company.
-
Qualifying Broker (Jen Johnson)
You would hire us as your Qualifying Broker to oversee the deal, keep you compliant, and to fully support you.
-
Sales Associate
You, as a shareholder, get paid first.
