Earnings Disclaimer

1The Short Version

Real estate is a commission business. RE/MAX Premier Realty does not promise, guarantee, or predict that you will earn any particular amount of money, or any money at all, as a real estate agent. Some agents build strong businesses. Some earn very little. Some leave the business. Your results will be your own.

We say this plainly on our pages and on the discovery call because we would rather you hear it from us now than discover it later.

2No Guarantee of Income

Nothing on this website, in our emails or text messages, or on the weekly discovery call is a promise or guarantee of earnings, a projection of what you will earn, or a statement of what a typical agent earns. Any reference to income potential, flexibility, financial freedom, or "no ceiling" describes what is possible in a commission-based career. It does not describe what is probable, typical, or guaranteed.

3Agents Are Independent Contractors

Real estate agents affiliated with RE/MAX Premier Realty are independent contractors, not employees. That means there is no salary, no hourly wage, and no guaranteed paycheck. It also means no employer-provided health insurance, retirement plan, paid time off, or unemployment coverage. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.

This website is for prospective real estate agents. It is not an offer of employment, and booking or attending a discovery call does not create any agreement between you and the brokerage.

4What Your Results Depend On

Your income as an agent depends on many factors, most of them outside our control, including:

• Your own effort, skill, consistency, and time in the business.
• The size and strength of your personal network, and how well you serve your clients.
• Local market conditions, housing inventory, interest rates, and the wider economy.
• The number of transactions you close, the price of the properties involved, and your commission arrangement.
• How long it takes to close your first transactions. A first closing often comes months after the day you are licensed.

The offices, training, leads, marketing help, and broker access we describe are tools. They can improve your odds. They cannot guarantee an outcome.

5The Costs of Getting Started

Becoming and remaining a licensed real estate agent costs money before you earn any. Costs may include pre-license coursework, state application and exam fees, fingerprinting, post-license and continuing education, association and MLS dues, errors and omissions insurance, brokerage fees, marketing, transportation, and technology. You may spend this money and not earn it back.

For that reason, we encourage career changers to get licensed and begin part-time while keeping their current income and benefits, and to build a cash cushion before going full-time.

6Licensing Facts and Figures

Course hours, exam requirements, fees, timelines, and renewal rules described on this website reflect our understanding of Florida requirements as of the date they were written. They are set by the Florida Real Estate Commission and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and they change. Confirm current requirements and fees with those agencies or an approved real estate school before you rely on them.

7Examples, Stories, and Testimonials

Any agent story, example, or testimonial on this website describes that individual's own experience. It is not a claim that you will achieve the same or similar results. Agent stories are published only with the agent's consent, and agents are not paid for them. Results vary from person to person.

8Statistics and Third-Party Information

Surveys and statistics we cite about teaching, nursing, or other professions come from third parties and are provided for context. We believe our sources are reliable, but we do not guarantee their accuracy, and they are not predictions about your career.

9Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about what your first year, your first 90 days, or your future business "could" or "might" look like are illustrations, not forecasts. Actual results differ, sometimes significantly.

10Not Financial, Legal, or Tax Advice

Nothing on this website or on the discovery call is financial, legal, tax, or career advice. Leaving a job, changing careers, or moving your license to another brokerage is a significant decision. Talk with your own financial, legal, and tax advisors, and review your current employment or brokerage agreements, before you decide.
