Commissions Make All the Difference When Deciding On a Broker

So you have just gotten your Realtor’s license? Or you have had one for a while now but are tired of the daily grind, endless desk hours time, unequal commission structure and lack of overall guidance from within the organization you are currently with? You are going to LOVE Deeb Realty! Standing very far apart from the rest of the competition, we pride ourselves in being the BEST company to work for if realty is your expertise or even just your newfound passion.
To make it easy for you and to illustrate exactly why we are a cut above the rest, here is a point-by-point comparison on why Deeb stands out in the crowd and why you should join this team today!
Commissions Split
Most companies tend to offer newbies a 40/60 percent split – leaving you with only slightly more than half of your commission earnings on closed sales. They will wine you and dine you and tell you that eventually your commission split will be increased as you earn more.
At Deeb, brand new agents start out at a very competitive 70%, with 90% for more experienced agents and an amazing 100% commission structure that is very affordable.
Earnings Commensurate Earnings
Most real estate brokerage firms base their agents’ earnings on an aggregate figure on the last 12 months’ net commission earned. Measuring what they will pay their agents based on how many properties were sold in the previous year is not an optimum method of earning for agents. The aggregate figure resets every year, resulting in a fluctuating pay scale for even seasoned agents.
We base our commissions on the cumulative number of closed transactional sides you accomplish, rather than earnings income or commission dollars earned. Whether you close on the buyer’s side or seller’s side, each one works toward your commission structure. Plus, once you reach a certain pay scale at Deeb Realty you never go back down.
Listing Origination
Traditionally, real estate brokers penalize agents for selling listings that may not have originated from their own firm. This drastically impacts the agent’s commission earnings – resulting in less-than-desired percentages.
Deeb Realty celebrates its agents’ accomplishments regardless of where the listings originate. We reward our agents for their performance of the last five years of production regardless of where they were prior to with us.
The 100% “Free” Plan
Nearly every major realty company boasts a “100% commission for free” policy for their agents. Just like it sounds, it is too good to be true. What they do not tell you is that you are required to contribute thousands of dollars year after year to the agency in order to receive 100% of your commissions. Often agents end up selling until the year is almost over to cover the fees and only then do they start receiving 100% commissions. To make matters worse, the whole process restarts itself in January.
Our 100% plan works like this: For a very affordable $500 each month, you are guaranteed 100% of your commissions on each deal. Aside from a $75 transaction fee that is charged at closing, there are no other hidden fees. Our agents know each time and throughout the year what their expenditures are versus what they will be earning.

Deeb Realty prides itself on being one of the best in the industry and the company with THE best commission structure there is out there. We take care of our agents and we genuinely care about your success, doing everything we can to ensure that that success. For a company with fresh ideas, innovative people – Deeb Realty is a service-oriented company that looks out for its customers and its own people.

One of the most frequently asked questions you will ever get as a real estate agent will have something to do with the current state of our local real estate market. And when you get asked that question, how are you prepared to answer?
REALTORS ® at DEEB are afforded the very useful benefit of having access to monthly statistical reports.

You will have access to the kinds of information that get clients interested in seeking more education from you as their trusted real estate advisor. You will be able to share detailed and accurate reporting about market activity such as average home prices, the number of homes sold month-over-month and year-over-year plus absorption rates and more.
Furthermore, you will be able to customize the data to suit your specific clientele’s needs. So if your clients are interested in new construction trends, you will be able to pull data to depict the very trends that are happening in our own local market.
But it does not stop there. In true DEEB Realty fashion, our goal is to provide our REALTORS ® with nothing but the best of the industry’s tools to help them grow and expand their business beyond their perceived maximum potential. So we realize the importance for you to channel your energies toward the client-servicing aspects of the business, spending less time on figuring out and deciphering what all the statistics mean.

Continuing Education and Broker-Approved Training at Deeb Realty
Watch on your mobile device >>
It’s always great to see our agents doing well in their business but in the midst of all the busyness is always the need to keep up with state requirements to keep their license current. We always take a very supportive stance toward our agents’ education, training and other needs – that’s why Deeb provides a full range of useful, educational courses approved by the state as continuing education courses that are required to keep licenses current.
Before you know it, November will be around the corner so why not engage in some of the courses right now so when the time comes you can rest assured that you won’t have to scramble to find an open spot in a Con Ed class. Speaking of classrooms, we’ve just set up a new 50-seat training facility right here in our own office building, designed for the convenience and ease of our agents.
Deeb Realty right now provides anywhere from 5 to 15 broker-approved training courses in a month to all agents – absolutely free of cost. And as we get closer to the November deadline for license renewals, the number of Con Ed classes we offer each month will also be stepped up.
Agents can choose from a variety of topics, each geared to different aspects of the business and each course crafted with careful attention to the needs of today’s agents. All in all, our total number of classes taught in a typical year is about 250, so we make a strong effort to keep current. Whether we do so by revamping previously offered courses, making them up to date and relevant to today’s market or by adding new ones – our goal is always to serve our agents and provide the best educational opportunities possible.

Deeb Realty Embraces Digital Signature Technology
Watch on your mobile device >>
Have you ever stopped to consider just how far we have come in the digital age? What seems to some as only yesterday, for years we were doing a lot more manual work rather than relying on computers and tech for everything. Consider the evolution of cars, for instance. At one time getting from point A to point B was the big thing and here we are today where fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness is of the utmost importance and so many households drive hybrids.
The same holds true for real estate and many of the related transactions. Recently, Deeb Realty engaged in a new service, made available at no cost to all our agents, that allows signatures to be transferred digitally rather than signed by hand and in person. Think about how convenient that is in today’s busy world.
Going from three-copy carbons, to perforated sheets, faxing and printing to even scanning documents for email – the process of signatures and contract signing has come a long way in the past several decades. While some people might say that there is a certain charm to meeting with your clients and obtaining sigs by hand – others would argue that most clients would prefer the most convenient method available. Consider this: with the largest number of buyers ever in the history of our industry turning to the internet and smartphone technology to conduct much of their real estate transactions, why would digital signatures be any different?
Rather than force inefficient and time-consuming age-old ways on our clients of today – why not engage in useful technology that allows them the freedom to conduct their real estate affairs at their own convenience? For agents the service is invaluable since they can spare time otherwise wasted on chasing clients down to meet in person. For clients the service is a pathway to cleaner, more effective buying or selling processes that ensure satisfaction on all sides of the table.
Meetings in person will still continue and are cornerstone to sealing real estate deals. With the added hassle of signing every little change to a contract or filing any necessary addendums gone from the equation, there is much more time to focus on other more important things. No more of the unreadable faxes or scans, tedious late-evening trips to the office and unneeded delays that could otherwise have been avoided.
Deeb Realty agents are now able to write up a purchase agreement, make changes, add addendums and perform most any other aspect of real estate contracts that involves signing a name. They can do it right from the convenience of their favorite coffee shop, their kitchen table, late at night or early in the morning. Our agents swear by it – clients love it and it joins the rest of our services designed to make the entire business of real estate as efficient and enjoyable as possible while remaining on the cutting edge of technology.
Video Technology – the Newest Marketing Tool For Realtors
Watch on your mobile device >>
So you have worked hard to learn the business, study all things real estate and establish your brand and business as a Realtor. But what makes you different than the thousands of other agents doing the same thing as you are? When you think of it, just like a kid in a candy store, unless the packaging doesn’t grab them right away buyers and sellers initially have little idea as to what makes you the best choice as their Realtor.
We know that once you have established your brand, the next most important thing to do is to market your business. Using the latest video technology and our super-fast “connected” world, agents are more in touch with their clients and future clients than ever before and what better time than now, when video technology is at its best?
People Connect and Respond to Visuals
Visual marketing has been around ever since people in business knew they had to share their strengths against the competition to be able to stand out in a crowd. In the business of real estate this couldn’t be truer. Not only do you need to share as much information about you as possible, but you also need to extend a lot of information about the homes you are trying to help your clients buy or sell.
By using videos, a real estate agent instantly has an edge over others that rely on traditional, more conventional methods of communication and marketing. Sure, a telephone conversation is great when it is needed but for potential and existing clients to be able to jump on a website or access a link that you have provided them is phenomenal marketing. By making it possible for them to gain instant access to the information they seek, not only are you keeping their convenience in mind but you are also able to channel a precisely targeted message to your audience.
No Cost Professional Video Production for Deeb Agents
Whether designing a custom real estate listing video that gives your clients all aspects of the property in a visually appealing and attention-grabbing way, or sharing an electronic business card with much more than just your name and phone number – this tool will change your business. Just imagine the possibilities! And when you factor in the potential of virally marketing your property (and your brand) the possibilities are limitless.
As always, we like to make sure you can focus all your energies on doing what you do best –serving your clients. So when it comes to all your video and technology needs, Deeb Realty takes the task on. As you will find is the case with so many other highly desirable features of working on the Deeb team, we proudly provide our agents with complimentary professional video production as just one of the many things we offer to the members of our team.

What Can DEEB Realty Offer You?
Watch on your mobile device >>
We here at DEEB Realty get very excited two times a year when we have our big company sales meetings. This is the time that we get to look back at the last six months and look forward to the next six months in our business. We talk about the things that have worked well and how we can harness that information to improve our businesses in the future.
I wanted to share some information with you that was just released our last sales meeting. We will be releasing a brand-new system that will provide backend CRM (Customer Relationship Management) for our agents. Our agents will have lead generating websites created for them. The company will also have lead generation that will allow us to pass these leads out to our agents.
The system will also have over 3000 marketing pieces including video campaigns, e-mail campaigns, flyers, postcards and newsletters. As you can imagine, our people are very pumped up about this new opportunity to push their businesses forward using these marketing tools.
What may be surprising to you is that we are offering all of this free of charge to our agents. While the companies that we're working with told us that we could resell this system to our agents for a monthly or yearly fee, we didn't feel right doing that. You see, we feel as brokers it's our duty to provide our agents with the tools that they need to be successful. We can only be successful if they are successful!
So, we are doing our part by providing this amazing system for agents to use free of charge. If you'd like to learn more about this program or anything else that we offer as a company, give us a call. We're happy to tell you more. All meetings are confidential, of course. We feel that we have a very special place to work with good people. We would love to give you more information and see if you might like to join us too!
Social Media – The New Client Outreach in Real Estate
Watch on your mobile device >>
When it comes to technology, there are two kinds of people in this world – those that use it and those that don’t. At Deeb Realty, we want to create a comfortable environment for our agents that may not be so tech-savvy and a playground for those that do engage in the use of technology for their business needs.
With the advent of smart phones and the relatively recent influx of them in our daily lives, almost everyone has a mobile phone and uses it to access all kinds of information while conducting business on it as well. The real estate industry is the perfect stage for using smart phone advancement because it allows users, both agents and end clients, to enjoy real time access to everything from listings, updated information, market data and most importantly, communication.
Social Media Offers Myriad Avenues of Business Development
Twenty, thirty years ago the terms “viral”, “social media marketing”, “twitter” or “LinkedIn” were simply not in our vocabularies. But now, with tablets becoming second nature for most individuals and smart phones almost the norm for everyone, the use of technology that corresponds with these devices is paramount.
Deeb Realty is a company dedicated to making things easier for its team so one of the many business-enhancement things we offer is personalized agent websites, with unique videos recorded exclusively for each agent. Offering streamlined communication capabilities is an important factor that plays a vital role in our Realtors being among the best in class of agents.
Almost everyone has a Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn account – but does every business have one? Almost. We believe that it is essential for our agents to be able to reach their clients in every way possible. Keeping up with the times, engaging in social media is just one of the many ways to enhance and grow your business. Whether allowing your customers to view listings in great detail and obtain real time updates on the properties of their choice, or to provide an in-depth look at your history as an agent, complete with references and accolades – using social media is essential.
Here are just some of the ways many successful Realtors utilize social media:
** Virally sharing broadcast messages pertaining to all clients, such as a sweeping change in interest rates or a new product that might be of interest to many of the agents’ clients
** One-on-one and group conversations among members of the page/group, allowing people to compare notes and communicate in conference
** All listings located in one location, with current updates easily posted by page administrator
** Easy to promote page that has the likelihood of being visited more frequently by other Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn users
** Networking tool that allows instant word of mouth sharing of new listings plus the ease with which users can instantly introduce the agent to friends with a click of a button
** Allowing clients a glimpse into your opinions and perspectives through such tools as a web blog or twitter updates, providing a softer and more approachable relationship between agent and client
Whether you are just becoming familiar with the social media world or are well-versed in the technological advances this newest form of marketing and communication has to offer, Deeb Realty is committed to making sure the experience works for you. We will continue to regularly bring in new applications – absolutely free for our team members – that will allow you to generate more business, enjoying continued success!
We invite you to explore our website for a look at all the ways we work for you!
Saying Goodbye to 2011, With Great Expectations for a Fantastic 2012 Ahead!
Watch on your mobile device >>
After what seemed like could have been a rollercoaster ride, 2011 ended up being an amazing year with overall sales coming in at over 12% from the previous year! When you think about it, after all the negative press about our industry, numbers like that is excellent news! And to top it off, our sales in December were also higher than they have been in over five years.
Celebrating Good Times Gone By and More Yet to Come
To commemorate our superstar agents, we wanted to highlight your achievements and thank everyone with a festive and over-the-top Christmas party this year. So we did just that. Giving away more than $6,500 in cash prizes was a real joy for us this year as we had the opportunity to say “thank you” to the cornerstone of our business – you, our agents.
Not only that – it was with your help that we were able to collectively raise about $10,000 to benefit the local homeless shelters right here in Omaha. Nothing gives us more pleasure than to be serving the housing industry while giving shelter to those in need at the same time.
Thanks to you, our valued team, for the seventh year in a row we have achieved top status in fastest days on market time – something that we continue to shine on year after year.
Absorption rates in December have not been this low since 2006, over five years ago! At 6.6 months of absorption we are looking at a strong trend that will undoubtedly lead to market stabilization sooner than any of us could have predicted just a few short years ago. Couple that with our sales performance in December and you can see that an even stronger market is on the horizon.
Expecting Better-Than-Ever Numbers In 2012
Now that the holidays are over and things are coming back down to earth, we are ready to focus on our agents’ needs so they can continue to serve their clients’ needs and what better way than to provide an optimum environment and loads of tools to succeed at your careers? If you are considering joining our team, you’ll love our no-fees commission structure that rewards you for your past and present achievements. We invite you to visit our extensive website to view all the agent amenities and tools we have developed to aid you to achieve your best. And like 2011, we expect 2012 to be a fantastic year with record-breaking numbers in sales and market time.
~
Once again, taking the opportunity to give resounding THANKS to all of our remarkable agents, staff, vendors, partners and supporters – we couldn’t have done it without you and we look forward to a brighter, even better year to come!
