Common questions

Clear answers before you talk.

Is this an employment position?

No. This is an independent contractor brokerage affiliation opportunity. You may inquire while pursuing a North Carolina broker license, but you may not perform brokerage services unless your license is active and properly affiliated with MAR Properties, L.L.C. in North Carolina Real Estate Commission records. This is not an employment offer, salary offer, lead guarantee, or income guarantee.

What does 100% commission mean in the broker model?

It means the broker receives 100% of the gross commission payable to the agent before MAR Properties transaction fees, the selected monthly tier cost, and any other charges authorized by the signed independent contractor agreement. It is not a promise that every dollar of transaction revenue is retained without costs.

Is the 100% model for provisional brokers?

No. The provisional broker program uses an 85/15 split during the provisional period. Eligibility for any future change in affiliation terms is discussed privately and is governed by the signed independent contractor agreement and firm approval.

Are there transaction fees for provisional brokers?

No separate transaction fees apply during the provisional period under the PB program shown here. Monthly tier costs still apply depending on the selected tier.

What happens after transaction 24 for brokers?

For brokers, the transaction fee changes from $500 per transaction to $300 per transaction beginning with transaction 25 during that calendar year. The tier resets each calendar year. The selected monthly tier cost also applies.

Does MAR Properties, L.L.C. provide leads?

The model is agent led. Agents create and fund their own marketing and may choose their own CRM. The Professional tier includes a personalized agent website, IDX property search, featured listings, and automatic lead capture, but no lead volume or closing result is guaranteed.

How does the global and CIPS side help agents?

It helps agents speak with more confidence about relocation, cross cultural communication, international referrals, and Western North Carolina positioning. MAR Properties, L.L.C. still provides brokerage services in North Carolina only. Out of state or international needs are handled through properly licensed local professionals.

What does P.A.I.D. mean?

P.A.I.D. stands for Perseverance, Accountability, Integrity, and Diligence. These values guide the culture, expectations, and professional standards of the firm.
