Berkshire Hathaway Employee Reviews about "commission split"

Pros

Great Training, opportunity for leads, opportunity for floor time, great reputation,vast referral network, they used to provide everything you would need like signs and lock boxes.

Cons

Not many, the managing brokers were old school and so not in touch with how to do business in current market conditions, once you have your own client base and no longer need the referrals and leads, may want to move to a higher commission split company.

Pros

Great brand recognition, lots of support, high quality marketing material available for agents. It was great starting off as a new agent here because they do give you lots of leads and referrals to get your business going.

Cons

Upper management not receptive to new/innovative ideas; run by a lot of old, out of touch people who can't or won't cater to the younger client base. BHHS takes a very large split of all commissions and it takes forever to earn enough business to make your way up the commission split scale. Referrals take up even a larger chunk of your commission.

Pros

Trusted name, brand, resources, training , management, affiliates

Cons

Commission split is on low end

Pros

Nationwide recognition of the Berkshire Hathaway name due to association with Warren Buffett. Extensive bank of marketing materials.

Cons

Broker share of commission split too high compared to what you are getting in return. Don't take advantage of the brand for marketing opportunities.
