Why Choose Premier Realty Associates? |
A : |
Operating since 2003, we are one of the original brokerages for the home based agent. We have an independent network of 750+ agents throughout California that specializes in both Real Estate and Mortgages. Our agents are home based, which lowers our company expenses, and allows us to pay our agents a 100% commission split on all their closed Real Estate and Loan transactions. On every closed real estate transaction, the company split would be either $495 or 10% of the commission check, whichever is less (note: the minimum company fee is $195). Also, we have a full time staff of nine employees, which is twice as much as any of our competition. Our staff has enabled us to be voted the best real estate agency in California for the home based agent. Other companies say they are there to help you be successful, we prove it by hiring the best staff people to help you with all of your questions and concerns. |
