Is Giving Away 30% of Your Fee to a Self Employed Brokerage Worth It? As an estate agent, the thought of giving away 30% of your fee to a self employed brokerage can seem daunting.

Adam dives into the details of how self employed brokerages, like EXP, work, and why he made the shift. He discusses how the fee structure isn’t as simple as it seems, and how the costs are offset by access to a full range of services, including Rightmove, Zoopla, a powerful CRM, training, and strong compliance support. For Adam, it’s not just about the financials, but the added flexibility, support, and the sense of community that comes with being part of a bigger network. If you’ve ever wondered whether self employed models can actually help you grow your business and reduce the stress of running an agency, this episode will give you the insights you need.
