AGENCY TO JOIN
Q: My classmates mention to me not to join the best agency, ERA or PropNex first, because if we join the wrong team, then have difficulties doing transfers. Because some managers when meeting up very good but when work together may not be available always. Is it true? Wish for enlightenment from experience agents.
A: Hi, there is no right nor wrong to join the best agency first. I am from PropNex, the largest agency in Singapore and I have recruited many brand new RESs and they are still with me, some already more than 5 years, starting as brand new RES. I always believe to deliver what I had promised. Probably those you heard from may have bad experiences but not all will encounter the same situation. When you say ‘some’ managers when meeting up is very good but work together may not be available always. Yes it’s ‘some’ but there are many good ones too. Don’t take the news as all are like that. In my opinion, you should consider to join an agency, that would provide you free trainings to prepare you to achieve success. Not sure you have taken the Oct RES exams and is now waiting for your result. Once you had passed your RES exams, you will then search for an agency to join and the agency will apply for your CEA license. During your search it is important to join the right team with the right Mentor/Manager as this will greatly decides your future success. By joining the right team with proven success formula, your kick start is very much easy. Our team, Powerful Negotiators Group (PNG) is the largest team in PropNex, and PropNex is also the largest agency in Singapore. I was a retired Warehouse Manager, completely alien to this industry, and I was fortunate to have found PNG 12+ years ago, starting alone as a newbie and today I have a strong team of agents and still growing. I provide 1-1 training to all my new agents. Personal guidance is assured. Please feel free to PM or email me if u need any clarification. Look forward to hear from you. Have a nice day!

In PropNex, the commission scale for brand new RES starts at 70/30% (gross commission from $0 to $20k) then 80/20% (gross commission from $20k+ to $50k), then 85/15%, followed by 90/10%. Of course there are some agencies offering 80/20% for brand new RES. In this note, I would like to emphasis that the training in the agency you joined should be taken into consideration. Would you like to join an agency that offers you higher commission rate and with minimum or no trainings and at end you have $0 comm x 80% = $0.
