Full Disclosure of Our Compensation Plan


It's how much you NET, based on you efforts, not how much you gross. Some agents have high volumes, but their bottom line is nothing to be proud of, because they give up to 50% of their commissions to their brokers. What's more important... getting a trophy or keeping your money?

Do you want....
this in your living room     or this in your pocket???   
It is possible that our compensation program makes it easier for our agents to maintain a healthy balance of career, friends, and family. 

We want to keep our agents happy, so that they can keep their clients happy.

Here is our compensation plan:

Here are the expenses that you must pay no matter which company you work for:

1) Error and Omissions Insurance: Ours is $400/ year for $1,000,000. To ensure a lower deductible, you will pay $35 extra for each residential transaction up to 8 transactions. After that, you cap out and don't have to pay any more in Errors and Omissions Insurance. This is not a transaction fee. Just extra insurance for your peace of mind.

2) Labor and Industry:  $29/ month

3) State B&0 Tax: you pay about 1.5% at closing for State B& O taxes and


4) City Tax: .415%

We don't nickle and dime you on "junk fees." Our success is based on your keeping your money. We want you to save your money and spend it on promoting yourself and be happy working for us.

Dove Realty Compensation Plan


If you earn $35,000 Per year in commissions, here is an estimate net proceeds if you work for Dove Realty. Please note: taxes not calculated, because we just don't know.

E&0; L&I, B&O only*
Transaction Fee You Keep
100% $2388 $680+$348+$305=$1,333 ZERO $31,279

Plan    Total Desk Fees Split Expenses

Compare this with other companies who don't start you on a 100% commission until you have contributed a certain amount of money to the broker --- then they start charging you a transaction fee after you hit the 100% level.



Under Dove's commission structure, you may have more time to spend with your friends and family.

OTHER LARGE FRANCHISES' COMPENSATION PLANS...

If you make $35,000 Per year in commissions, this is possibly the estimated net proceeds if you work for some of the larger franchise companies, with a $22,000 cap on desk fees.

Plan    Total Desk Fees Split Expenses
E&0; L&I, B&O only*
Transaction Fee You Keep
100% $22,000 $680+$348+$305=$1,333 varies $11,667

If you make $50,000 per year in commissions, here is an estimate of net proceeds if you work for most of the large franchise companies...

Plan    Total Desk Fees Split Expenses
E&0; L&I, B&O only*
Transaction Fee You Keep
100% $22,000 $680+$348+$305=$1,333 varies $26,667

If you make $75,000 per year in commissions, here is an estimate of net proceeds if you work for the larger franchise companies...

Plan    Total Desk Fees Split Expenses
E&0; L&I, B&O only*
Transaction Fee You Keep
100% $22,000 $680+$348+$305=$1,333 varies $51,667



So, even you make $50,000 per year at most of the larger franchise companies, you will still NET LESS than if you were to make $35,000 per year at DOVE Realty. Just do the math.  And remember, it's how much you NET, not how much to GROSS.

If you make $50,000 a year at Dove Realty, you'll make close to what you'll make at a larger company making $75,000 per year.

If you feel that you are doing this with your commission check 

     Take your money to the bank instead.

If you feel that you are making the money you are worth at your current company, we encourage you to stay there.  If you're not making enough money and want a change, call us today at 206-890-6603 or email us if you would like to join our company.

Prospective Agents: No agent can truly appreciate our compensation plan until they interview with other companies. We encourage you to seek out and interview with a few other companies before you sign up with us.

If you've had very little experience with real estate transactions, we encourage you to go work for another company first.  Our compensation plan is reserved for the seasoned agent only.

On a case by case basis, you may eligible to join Dove Realty as a new agent (under the supervision of a seasoned real estate mentor in our company) for a 75%/ 25% split for a limited period of time. Please call the office for more details.

Compensation Payout Plan Guarantee...If you are working for another company, and you show us your contract with another company, which offers a more lucrative compensation plan than ours, we will match their plan, plus give you $195 bonus after you close on your first transaction with us....
