If you are an experienced, talented, qualified Howard Hanna agent in Pittsburgh, PA, we’ve got a spot on our team for you.
First let’s do the math:
You’re a $3M producer and you make 3% per transaction side. That’s $90,000 in total commissions, which you split 50/50 with Hanna. Your share is $45,000.
The lowest Achieve split is 80/20. So your share at Achieve is $72,000. Work from home and your share is $76,500. That’s a 44% and 53% increase, respectively.
Here’s another example:
You’re a $5M producer and you make 3% per transaction side. That’s $150,000 in total commissions, which you split 50/50 with Hanna. Your share is 75,000.
Your share at Achieve is $120,000 or $127,500, depending on whether you work from home or office. That’s a 60% and 70% increase, respectively.
Most professionals are lucky if their employer give them a 5% annual raise.
You’re manger will tell you that our splits are impossible. First, our splits are just as possible as it is possible that your current broker used your split to "merge" with a 1000 agent/36 office company. Tell me, how did that merger increase your listing/sales volume?
Your manager will tell you that we must have hidden fees. Achieve Realty has no fees. Zero. We don’t even charge our clients an Administrative fee.
As I explained earlier, if you are a $3M producer, your Achieve raise is $27,000. How does this translate?
In the 2005-2006 school year, the average total tuition, fee, room, and board charges at private four-year colleges and universities was $30,367. (Source.)
