The Opportunity to Earn Sales Bonuses Meet Carol Carol has been in the business for six years and has done well, averaging 18 closed transaction sides a year over that period. She loves selling real estate but wanted to build a passive ongoing income in addition to her personal production, so Nextage looked like an excellent choice for her. Let’s follow Carol’s thinking as she evaluates the Opportunity.

‘I want to look at my income potential at Nextage Realty versus what it might be somewhere else,’ Carol thought. ‘First, let’s assume all of my transactions have a $200,000 sale price with a 6% total real estate commission.* That’s about average for me. Let’s also assume that I’m going to continue to close about 1 ½ transaction sides per month.’ *Real estate commissions are negotiable. We have used this rate for example purposes only and in no way suggest that it is a ‘going rate.’

Seven Thousand Two Hundred and 00/100 Dollars For: 1 ½ Closed Sides Personal Production I. M. Broker I suppose I could work for a traditional broker on an 80% split. Closing 1 ½ slides per month would mean I’d make about$7,200 a month Carol Agent $7,200.oo March 15, 2009

Seven Thousand Two Hundred and 00/100 Dollars For: 1 ½ Closed Sides Personal Production I. M. Broker Or I could join Nextage. Assuming I qualified for 80%, the same 1 ½ closed sides would produce $6,432. Carol Agent $7,200.oo March 15, 2009 March Personal Production: 1.5 Closed Sides $6,432 $6,432

And let’s assume they’re averaging just ¾ of a closed side a month, their production would generate an additional $904 in Monthly Sales Bonuses. 1st Generation Sales Bonus (7.5%) $ 904 $7,336
