No
Franchise or Closing Fees
We at IRA believe that your efforts and results need to
be rewarded without added pressures of hidden fees. Unlike
franchise type Real Estate offices that charge you a franchise
fee at closing, IRA has no franchise fees that can diminish
your compensation. That's a compensation savings of up
to 6% per transaction!
Another fee that IRA will never charge is a fee some
organizations call a "processing" or "recording" fee.
These types of fees are charged to a seller and/or buyer
at closing and can be as much as $300.00 per transaction
or even higher.

of quotas.
No
Monthly Fees
Unlike most Real Estate offices, IRA does not charge a
monthly desk, office or administration fee. Being a "virtual office" reduces
our overhead and allows you to benefit by reduced operating
costs and higher earning abilities.
No
Weekly Sales Meetings
Those dreaded sales meetings, we know. IRA utilizes the
Internet to keep you up to date on all sorts of issues.
As often as necessary, IRA will send you an email as well
as posting various issues here on the IRA site. You'll
also have the ability to enjoy IRA's exclusive online forum
to exhange ideas and suggestions with fellow IRA Associates.

you with up-to-date information to insure you're able to
perform with the highest level of confidence and knowledge.
Get
Paid at Closing!
After you've worked so hard to complete your transaction,
the last thing you want to do is wait days or even weeks
for your hard earned compensation. IRA offers you're the
ability to be paid right at the closing table. IRA simply
authorizes the closing agent to issue your check upon the
transaction completing.
Recruit
and Earn More!
Once you join IRA, we're confident you'll find the benefits
to be unparallel. We're also hopeful you'll encourage other
real estate professionals like yourself to join IRA and
enjoy its many benefits.
IRA offers you a share of all commissions, up to 5%
per referred associate. Think about it, if you recruited
just 10 associates and each referred associate earned
just $25,000 a year, you'd earn an additional $12,500!
Choice
of Affiliation
We know that not everyone in real estate is active full
time. We also know that some associates have worked diligently
for years and have positioned themselves as market leaders
in the upper end/luxury markets. Whatever your level of
commitment, needs or market segments, IRA has a service
association just right for you.
For those just wanting to keep their license active,
yet may or may not be involved in any transactions, we
offer Independent Realty Agency. "Agency" as we call
it, is a non-Realtor/MLS affiliated company. For those
that service the High-End/Luxury market, IRA offers our
Estate Property Services. And for those that concentrate
mainly on Commercial/Business real estate services we
offer our Commercial Services. For each service arm,
IRA offers its own image, logos and formats, yet all
enjoy the same benefits of IRA's extensive online business
aids and services.
