The fact is - in our business you must have 100% commissions in order to survive. You cannot pay for loyalty. Buyers get from us really good service as well as follow up service and that's it! In my 20 years I have never paid a rebate. You can't buy good relationships. To this day I continue to receive referral business. Paying buyers to work with you is bad business. Look at Zip Realty. They are not doing well either. -mike My heart goes out to anyone getting laid off for any reason. The fact is – in our business you must have 100% commissions in order to survive.

Worked for ML for over 8 years, recently he’s been “right sized” too, despite of his outstanding performance and the increasing revenue he generated. OMG, now the banking industry is badly hurt, how long it would take for those financial background guys like him get back to the job market. Banking jobs are not there as much as before as easily seen on http://www.joboutlets.com and other job sites in the region I have a very close friend, who graduated from Harvard.
