If you're giving away around half of it-or carrying the overheads of an independent agency-it could be time to look at a different way of doing business. Run your own business under Urban & Rural Partners. Keep 90% of the commission you generate, with the systems, support and connections to operate professionally. We're looking for • experienced, • capable agents • who value independence, • treat people properly and • want more reward for their work. SIMPLY - Complete your details at the bottom of this page to receive the full information and explore what this could mean for you. SALESPEOPLE - working for someone else? You've learned the business. Could it be time to build your own? You win the listing. You build the relationship. You follow up the buyers and negotiate the sale. Then the commission arrives-and a substantial share goes to someone else. Perhaps that arrangement helped you get started. But with five or more years' experience, your needs may have changed. You may no longer need a big, fancy office or a sales manager to high-five you after every sale. You may be ready to take control. Under the Urban & Rural Partners partnership model, you can: - Build your own business under an established, growing banner. - Keep 90% of the commission you generate. - Work from a home office or another space that suits you. - Access core systems, marketing tools and agency support. - Have trust accounting and back-end administration handled through Agents' Agency. - Make your own decisions about how you work and grow. Your experience has value. Your relationships have value. It's worth finding out what they could earn you in a business of your own. SINGLE OPERATORS - working independently You've built your business - Does everything still have to land on your desk? Running independently is supposed to give you freedom. It can also mean being the salesperson, administrator, marketing coordinator, systems manager and the person everyone calls when something needs fixing. Subscriptions add up. Administration fills the gaps between appointments. Time spent keeping the business running competes with time spent winning business. OR you've employed an admin person, there's the weekly wage, holidays, sick leave and they're not contributing to dollar productive activities. Joining Urban & Rural Partners gives you a way to share the infrastructure while retaining control of your operation. **You gain:** - Central support for trust accounting, administration and compliance systems. - Access to a core package of subscriptions and tools. - A shared banner that builds recognition as the network grows. - Broader marketing reach and buyer exposure. - Experienced agents to exchange ideas, opportunities and referrals with. - The flexibility to keep operating from your own office. - Your admin staff become Sales Assistants **Keep your independence, with more people and better infrastructure behind you.** We'll walk through your current setup with you so you can compare the practical benefits, expenses and transition requirements. A straightforward structure 90% of commission paid to you. 10% paid to Agents' Agency. $275 per month for the core subscription package. No franchise fees. No creeping commission splits. The 90% is your commission share before your own business expenses. You provide your office setup, equipment, phone, vehicle and day-to-day operating expenses. We explain the full inclusions and any additional charges before you make a decision. You retain your client relationships, your personal profile and control over how you run your business, operating under the Urban & Rural Partners banner. Why we built it this way Because we've worked on both sides. We've worked within franchise businesses and watched commission disappear through splits, fees and branding levies. We've also run offices, paid rent, employed staff and managed the overheads that come with operating independently. That experience shaped a simple question: How much infrastructure does a capable agent actually need-and what should they reasonably pay for it? Our model removes unnecessary overheads while retaining the professional support needed to do the job properly. In a tighter market, that difference matters. A growing banner that helps each agent Every good agent who joins adds experience, relationships and visibility. More people see our signs. More buyers encounter our properties. More vendors become familiar with our name. Our aim is to make the shared banner more valuable to every agent operating under it. We grow by bringing together good people who strengthen the network and each other's businesses. Who we're looking for Our focus is on agents/salespeople with **at least five years' real estate experience** who: - Know how to prospect, list, negotiate and sell. - Are ethical, professional and respectful. - Can take responsibility for running their own business. - Value independence and welcome useful support. - Are willing to share ideas and work constructively with others. You don't need to be a headline-making agent or have a huge team. You do need to care about your clients, your reputation and the quality of your work. Your office. Your choice. A spare bedroom. A dedicated home office. A co-working space. Your own shopfront. Choose the setup that suits your business and your life. **There are no exclusive territories within the network.** You can pursue opportunities wherever you're appropriately licensed and equipped to service your clients professionally.
