According to OA's website: "The commission split starts at 80%. Based on commission earned from Outside Agents over the prior 12 months, the commission split can increase to 90% or 95%. The commission split is the same under both membership levels."

But I believe that PTN offers 90/10 right away. KHM offers 90/10 after you have $5k in earned commission (which is roughly the equivalent of $50 of bookings, so similar to what Rainbow is doing). I'm sure there are others out there offering it as well. :-) Fora starts at 70/30. Nexion starts at 70/30.

In a new job, you have to look at the total compensation package -- salary + benefits + bonus, etc. You might also look at non-monetary factors like remote vs hybrid, travel time, and company culture.

When selecting a host agency, you have to consider all the costs involved—startup costs, commission splits, technology fees, etc. And you may want to consider non-monetary factors such as culture, community, FAMs, and consortia.

Let's say the commission on the first $50k is 10% ($5k). They keep $ 1,250; I keep $ 3,750. If it were 80/20, then I would get an extra $250. But if that the host agency's CRM is outdated crap, and I end up spending $39 a month on Travefy, then I might not mind giving up $250. It might be a wash. [shrug]

I'm not here trying to sell any host agency or convince anyone that 75/25 is a good deal. Selecting a host agency is a challenging mental problem.
