1.  What is the monthly brokerage fee?

A:  The fee is $97 per month. Yes, that’s right, it’s only $97 per month. This is charged the first business day you register with Shandrow Group. You pay in advance at the same time each month. If you sign up on October 12th, for example, your next monthly payment will be due on November 12th.

2.  How long is the contract between Shandrow Group and myself?

A:  There is no long term contract.  We just need a written thirty-day advance notice that you want to terminate your Agreement with Shandrow Group, and that is it.

3.  How much are transaction costs?

A:  Shandrow Group charges $197 per transaction, per side. So, if you sell one of your own listings (dual agent), you have to pay Shandrow Group $394 for that transaction.

4.  Are there any other fees I should know about?

A:  Yes. You will need to pay for your own MLS access, Supra i-box key and marketing costs. Shandrow Group is a member of PWR and SoCal MLS. You will need to purchase a a membership from them here: http://pwr.net/Membership/JoinPWR/

5.  Why do other brokerages charge a much higher commission split and/or monthly fee?

A:  Good question.  We’re not sure.  You should ask them.

6.  What about signs, business cards, lock boxes and other marketing materials?

A:  You will have to pay for these yourself.  We can’t pay for everything.

7.   Is there a separate Errors and Omissions Insurance (E & O) charge?

A:  No.  This insurance coverage is already included in the transaction costs discussed above.  However, if there is ever an E & O claim from one of your transactions you will be responsible for the deductible equivalent to your commission split.

8.  Can I get leads?  If so, how much does that cost?
