Why Join Oregon First?
Quite simply, to keep more of the money you work hard to earn. The only person responsible for your success is you. Your Broker is someone you pay for services. You are a consumer, not an employee. Be a wise consumer.
Many companies offer favorable commission splits w/no caps on how much they can take from you, or 100% commission splits, but caps that are very high (in the form of monthly office fees of $1,000 and up!).
Only Oregon First gives you the opportunity to pay your desk fees solely through a favorable commission split and with a low, low cap.
We have several programs from which to choose:
- Oregon First splits your commissions with you 50/50 until a total of $7,500 has been received by the company. After that, you're a 100%er!
- You keep 70% of your commissions until Oregon First has received $8,400 (this is our most popular option) - then you're at 100%.
- Go on 100% from day one by paying a lump sum desk fee of $6,600.
Our commission year runs from the day you join to your anniversary date each year.
There are 2 ways to get more money 1) earn more & 2) stop spending so much. We help you with both sides of the equation.

Afraid to leave your current company?
think it brings you business?
Not according to the National Association of Realtors 2002 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Only 3% of Buyers and Sellers chose their agent based on his or her company affiliation. What was the no. 1 motivation? Referrals from friends and family. That's how HALF of all buyers and sellers come to their agent. "Previously worked with" was also big at 20% for non-first time homebuyers/sellers. Personal contact was also somewhat significant at 11% for first-timers and 7% for repeats.
Don't pay big fees to real estate companies who claim THEY make your success - only YOU can do that. |
