Would I consider? Yes.

How can a real business person kick an opportunity to the curb without seeing what is in play or how it can be leveraged.

As we are all supposed to know, the agreement between the agent and broker is NEGOTIATED.

Some see advantage in the Trump brand or others like Hillary, Obama, PETA, REALTOR, CANON, SMUCKERS, or Wholefood. We pick the horses with think we can ride.

When they opened an office in Charlotte I was approached. I don't know if they still have a brokerage office in Charlotte. But frankly, it's been more years than I can count when a brokerage offered me a 50/50 split because I was considered a "top" agent in town. I mean, seriously?

Consider it?  Maybe.  Depends on all the circumstances.  We don't have one here, so if I had to move to the markets where they are the answer is no.  If they wanted to buy out my company and we'd continue to work under this brand, I'd talk about it.  Another time and another place? Possibly.  I wouldn't seek it out, but if "an offer that I couldn't refuse" was presented then of course I'd have to consider it. -Kasey

Both of us are too independent to join any company.  They don't seem to have any trouble signing up sellers and buyers.  Is the brand a problem?  To some yes, and to others no.

Glad I don't have to deal with this NAR code of ethics stuff. I don't have a problem with any agents just because they work there. It's the name and the reputation that I look at. It's the same reason I didn't name my company Hitler Mortgage. You get the idea
