From Jon Matias

Joining this real estate team has truly been a life changing experience. From day one, I felt supported, valued, and inspired by the leadership and my fellow agents. The mentorship is amazing, and I have grown not just as a team member but as a leader myself. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else, and I am so excited for what's ahead as there is so much opportunity!

Do I have to leave my brokerage before we talk?

No. You can talk with Chris before you leave your current brokerage.

Do I need prior experience?

What training do I get?

What are the full costs?

The split is 80/20. Uncapped commissions. There is no start-up fee, no monthly fee, no tech fee, and no desk fee. No production quotas. Each transaction has a $295 fee. It is listed as its own line, not pulled out of your 80%, and covers compliance review, document retention, and back-office processing. It can be allocated to the buyer, the seller, or the agent.

How does switching brokerages work?

Your license stays with you. The new affiliation is recorded with the state real estate commission: the North Carolina Real Estate Commission in North Carolina, and the South Carolina Real Estate Commission in South Carolina. A current brokerage agreement can require its own notice. Let's talk before you send that notice, so the steps happen in the right order. When you move to RSG, your clients and active listings come with you. We help facilitate the transfer process with your previous brokerage.

What does the MLS cost?

MyStateMLS is $420 a year or $50 a month. That is the MLS subscription. It is separate from the $295 transaction fee. A local association, if you join one, charges its own dues.
