Those that work at mid size / larger RE Firms - is it typical that you pay for your own CoStar / other MLS or does the company pay your subscription ?

Most new commercial agents attempting to do as much in their first year or two are going to have no idea what to do with it.  You pay the split so that you don\u2019t waste everyone\u2019s time and look like an asshole and your team provides the support needed to do a good job.  I\u2019m not going to sit here and keep debating the point.  If you know what you\u2019re doing and have closed a few deals then that split sucks; however, if you\u2019re just starting out and bitching about that split while not having a clue about the business then I\u2019d be inclined to show you the door because you are likely an entitled prick.", "replies": [{"id": "es0iwmt", "text": "Haha I agree with everything here.
