Review the answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions that we receive:

• Is a Real Estate License Required?
  Yes! A valid Texas Real Estate License is required to join Perch. This is a 100% commission based role. Sales acumen and experience are vital, and successful agents are often self-directed, being able to build their real estate business autonomously.

• What is the Work Setting?
  While we do ask you to be living in your market, we don’t have an expectation on where or how you connect with your leads and customers. We expect you to be able to take great care of them, convert Company Provided Leads into leases at  20%+, and provide an excellent experience for customers and property leasing teams.
  

• What is the Commission Structure?
  We offer industry leading commission options, based on the amount of total monthly invoicing. Monthly commission is broken down as follows based on your client's “Application Date”:
  
  Company + Personal Leads Combined:
  50% on the first $5K Collected
  70% on $5K to $12K
  80% on $12K+
  
  Our goal is to get you to $10K+ on average each month!

• How much do New Agents make on Average?
  On average, new agents can take home $60K - $80K in year one. In year two and beyond, average agents take home $80K - $100K , while top performers make $125K+.
  

• Can I represent Buyers and Sellers or is it just Apartment Locating?
  We plan to re-launch our Realty Brokerage in the coming months to allow select agents to also work directly with buyers and sellers. At the moment, our agents are able to work with:
  
  1. Renters leasing at Property Management Company owned/operated properties (Apartment Properties, but also select Townhome and Home communities are available!)
  
  2. Buyers of New Construction homes (with a "sales team" on site).
  

• What are the Fees at Perch?
  There are NO monthly Brokerage, Desk, Technology, or other Fees at Perch. You will need to subscribe to an approved Locator Search Database (~$50/month). While no NAR/BOR dues are needed or required to be an Apartment Locator with Perch, you will be required to keep your license up-to-date and active.
  

• What is the Time Commitment needed with Perch?
  Expect the equivalent of a “full-time” commitment if you'd like to work with Company Provided leads. To clarify - this is not a part-time opportunity. We will expect you to be available during weekday and Saturday "business hours" to best suit our customers and the properties they're interested in.
  

• Am I Required to Tour with ("Escort") my Clients?
  While we do allow “Sending” and understand it may be needed at times, touring with your customer (known as “Escorting”) is beneficial for your success. We see a clear increase in productivity and success when agents are touring with customers as well as sending. Reliable transportation is required.
  

• Do I need to Transfer my License or can I work with Perch and my current brokerage?
  All Perch Agents are required to transfer their license to our brokerage, and an agent can only be sponsored by one brokerage. There are options to refer out any business (buyer/seller clients) to an agent of your choice at another brokerage, if you do decide to join Perch!
