👇 Here's what we cover:
1️⃣ Commission Structure & Fees – The truth behind your “split”
2️⃣ Training & Mentorship – What’s available now and in the future
3️⃣ Leads & Marketing Support – Are you being handed leads or left in the dark?
4️⃣ Office Culture & Team Environment – Finding the right fit for how YOU work
5️⃣ Broker Availability – Are they a ghost… or actually helpful?
