I work at a small firm (broker, two sales people). The broker wants the split on a deal to be 50% to the company, and then 25% to him and 25% to me. Is this normal?
[{"id": "di2rchi", "text": "Did he refer it? Was your split not negotiated at the beginning of employment? Details please. ", "replies": [{"id": "di2s87c", "text": "Not negotiated yet.

That's free money. I would be sure to tell him though that it is for this deal only. If the people you work with want to work with you again he isn't getting a cut. otherwise will just be making 25% of all the future deals. \n\nIf you have been working there for a while and he's offering to change the terms of your employment then I would be curious to know why.

If he provides as one user put it\" actionable leads\" and u don't have to do much other than push paper around or do some showings than take ur 25% happily . But if ur sourcing the leads, listing , etc than no way in hell should u be giving up 75% . \nU can work under the 50% until u reach certain thresholds of commission at that point his cut should get smaller down to maybe 10%. \n", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "di3s8z9", "text": "It's not unheard of.  I work in a much bigger firm and the splits are 50/50 with some guys working on larger teams and splitting their 50 in half with their team.  As you get more experience and can handle a deal on your own from start to finish then splits should get more favorable.  This is how you get your experience in the business so enjoy it and learn.  Your broker is probably the one who got the deal to the finish line regardless of what you think you brought to the table.
