Ok not sure this was what I was getting at in my original post. I was talking about the whole real estate biz (nationally) as a whole not just differentiating between 100% and 50-80:split company. As you mentioned leaving you alone, that depends on the company. I have been many companies all promising to train, educate, market, increase your sales volume, blah, blah blah.... I think you get the point. The real difference is I make more money on every sale.

so with that said, what are your thoughts on my original post?? Especially now with increased talk of a National MLS. Although your comment about trying to establish a brokerage centered marketing machine leaving only the selling to agents sounds like what many big companies want but have the agents as employees not independent contractors. I think Coldwell Banker has this business model and at is called BlueChip.
