Team Information
Background & Philosophy
The Keller Williams Yakima Valley Market Center recognizes the need for high producing associates to form teams in order to handle the high volume of buyers and sellers generated by a Lead Agent ‘Rainmaker’ associate. We fully endorse and promote the philosophies of MREA including ‘lead with revenue, not expenses’ and ‘add staff one at a time, once your ability to handle the tasks is outstripped by demand.’ We also recognize the need to maintain win-win situations between top agents, team/group associates and the Market Center while promoting the philosophies presented in the Millionaire Real Estate Agent. The Keller Williams Realty Yakima Valley Market Center allows for reduced company dollar caps for Team Member agents operating under the supervision and brand of a Lead Agent. Therefore, in order to maintain financial equality for all associates and for the Market Center itself we have established a policy that outlines the criteria in which Team/Group members are eligible for reduced caps.
Definitions:
TEAM LEADER (TL) - CEO of Keller Williams Yakima Valley
INDIVIDUAL – An Associate producing in his/her name not working as Group/Team. This associate may have non-producing licensed or unlicensed support, sometimes referred to as a “Transaction Coordinator” or “Assistant.”
LEAD AGENT – A capping agent who has chosen to leverage him or herself by working with one or more additional agents in addition to non-producing licensed or unlicensed support. The Lead Agent serves as the ‘Rainmaker” for the Team/Group and provides business leadership, administrative support, lead generation systems and relationships that feed consistent leads to the Team/Group. The Lead Agent must possess a Managing Broker’s License, is responsible to the Market Center for the team and must review ALL offers prior to submitting to the Designated Broker for review.
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT/TRANSACTION COORDINATOR – A non-producing licensed or unlicensed support person who is an employee of the Lead Agent. The primary purpose of a licensed support staff is administrative, but may carry out duties of the individual agent on a limited basis, such as fielding sales related calls, acquiring signatures, covering business when the Lead Agent is out of town, ill, etc. All activities will be performed per the DOL requirements of licensed vs unlicensed support persons/assistants.
GROUP/TEAM MEMBER – Also known as “Member,” “Buyer Agent,” “Buyer Specialist,” or “Listing Specialist,” or a combination of both. Any licensed producing agent who is not an individual agent and works under the brand of a Lead Agent.
TEAM – (OTHER THAN HUSBAND/WIFE) – A Lead Agent with one licensed team member and one or more non-producing administrative staff all working and marketing themselves as one cohesive entity under the same brand with a single leader. All marketing materials such as ads or business cards are consistent with the team name and theme. The main yard sign for a team must be branded with the Lead Agent, Team and KW’s information. Teams can use a standard 12” X 24” name rider on top of the team’s sign to identify the team member’s name and the team members phone number that has been designated by the Lead Agent to work that listing if they so choose to do that.
MARRIED COUPLE/DOMESTIC PARTNERS – Married licensed agents. One Market Center Cap.
GROUP – A Lead Agent with non-producing licensed or unlicensed support and two or more producing Group Members all working and marketing themselves as one cohesive entity under the same brand with either single or co-Lead Agent. All marketing material such as ads or business cards are consistent with the group name and theme. The main yard sign for a group must be branded with the Lead Agent, Group and KW’s information. Groups can use a standard 12” X 24” name rider on top of the group’s sign to identify the group member’s name and the group member’s phone number that has been designated by the Lead Agent to work that listing if they so choose to do that. The lead Agent will have 1 full cap and 1 royalty. Group members will get a half cap and 1 full royalty. If a group member decides they want to work with the Lead Agent as a member of the group yet advertise in a manner that does not meet this policy’s standards for receiving a reduced cap, they would pay a full cap and full royalty. If there is a co-group leader, they will both pay a full cap and full royalty.
PARTNER/ALLIANCE – Two or more licensed agents working together, branding separately but sharing marketing vehicles, administrative assistant(s), leads, etc. would each pay a full cap and full royalty.
CAP: Company dollar amount paid into company by agents which is $25,000 depending upon team/group member status.
DISCOUNTED COMPANY DOLLAR HALF CAP – A reduction in company dollar that the Market Center gives an agent, that works for a team/group if the Lead Agent and the agent applying to qualify for their half cap meet all the requirements that the Market Center has set in place.
ROYALTY – Amount paid to Keller Williams International, by every licensee, on an annual basis. The royalty amount is $3,000.00 and is paid at 6% per transaction. Royalty is subtracted from all commissions earned until the $3,000.00 cap is achieved for the anniversary year. For the purposes of this agreement, the terms “Split Transaction” and “Inside Referral” will refer to a specific process of recording a transaction in the KW bookkeeping system as defined by the P&G Manual’s definitions below:
SPLIT TRANSACTION – For the purposes of this agreement, the terms “Split Transaction” and “Inside Referral” will refer to a specific process of recording a transaction in the KW bookkeeping system as defined by the P&G Manual’s definitions below:
Team Members will be paid in the Keller Williams Yakima Valley bookkeeping system this way. When two associates agree to split their commission on a transaction at an agreed-upon percentage. In a split transaction, both associates received production credit based on their portion of the split.
INSIDE REFERRAL – When one associate refers a buyer or listing to another associate within his or her own Market Center. The referring associate receives no production credit on an inside referral; the total production credit goes to the associate paying the referral fee. Lead Agents will refrain from paying team members in this way as it does not allow for any company dollar to the Market Center and is not in alignment with the win-win nature of a team.
In no way should these two terms indicate the presence or absence of liability for the transaction to any party to the transaction but are simply a way for a transaction to be processed in the Keller Williams Yakima Valley bookkeeping system to preserve the integrity of the profit share system of Keller Williams.
