Keller Williams Realty Offers Economic Relief for Realtors

When market conditions change, Realtors must increase prospecting while reducing expenses. It's the only way to survive and THRIVE!

How do you get rid of spending thousands of dollars each month in this business?

The first place to cut back is with E&O insurance. Most companies ask for a large lump sum payment once per year of up to $600. Some will spread this over a 3 month payment plan. But, when times are tight, this fee can be detrimental to your business. Keller Williams Realty pro-rates this fee annually. There is never a lump sum charged to you. In fact, at the Birmingham-Vestavia office, we include E&O coverage, in addition to many other services, within our LOW monthly fee of $72.50.

Secondly, get rid of desk fees. Desk fees can cost you up to $1500 per month with some companies. Our Keller Williams office has free work stations for you. And, if you want a private desk, it's only $75 per month. We don't get paid unless YOU close a sale. So, we have a vested interest in supporting you in your business. It's the only way we get paid. Imagine your life without all the Pressure to pay large fees to your broker. Your sales will naturally increase because you won't be worried about how to get the money you need.

Lastly, get rid of marketing that doesn't work for you. When you spend $1, you need to earn $2. In other words, ensure the marketing you are using is providing results by getting you leads. If your marketing is not producing leads, get into consulting and coaching with your broker to adjust your message and your methods. Become a master of direct response marketing and your business will sky-rocket with LESS expense. Also, watch your printing and copying costs. Our KW office charges only 10 cents for color copies and 5 cents for black and white. This is less than the cost of printing fliers yourself on your own printer while providing your clients much higher quality.

Of course, the BEST way to keep more of your own money is by transferring your business to a 100% program. At KW, after you close approximately $2 Million in volume, you get 100% of every commission you earn. How's that for THRIVING? And, no. I know what you're thinking. We don't jack up desk fees at this point. It's still only $72.50 per month. We care about your survival! That's why our low liability, low risk value proposition is a WIN-WIN!

Don't you DARE think about quitting your business because you just can't write another check. Call me for a free business consultation to see exactly what needs to be adjusted to take you from surviving to THRIVING!
