TEAMBUILDER Frequently Asked Questions How can I take advantage of the TeamBuilder™ plan? It’s easy! Just refer and introduce us to potential new or experienced agents who are presently with other brokerage firms and register candidate online. Then help us get the appointment and we’ll take it from there! What is AGCI and how does it differ from GCI? GCI = The total commission collected at closing prior to any deductions. AGCI = Total commission less 6% franchise, E&O insurance and applicable referral fees. How can I earn income on the TeamBuilder™ plan? Recruit an associate to our company and you will earn 1% of that agent’s closed AGCI paid quarterly for as long as both of you are with the company. Can I earn more? Absolutely! If the agent you recruit grossed more than $60,000 GCI with another Northeast Florida general real estate company in the prior year, you will be bonused another 2.5% on your own AGCI for 12 months, paid quarterly, not to exceed $12,500 per recruit. Twelve month period begins after recruited agent closes 2 transactions with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty. Teams: see Team Plan Policy for eligibility requirements. What if the recruited agent did not earn $60,000 GCI in the prior year? Can I still make more? If the recruited agent earns more than $60,000 GCI within his or her first 12 months of affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty, you will then earn a bonus (paid quarterly) equal to 2.5% of your closed AGCI for the following 12 months. This bonus shall not exceed $12,500 per sponsored agent.

Company Values
Mastery
Advocate • Collaborate • Celebrate!
“MASTERY in one’s career simply requires that we constantly produce results beyond and out of the ordinary. Mastery is a product of consistently going beyond our limits. For most people, it starts with technical excellence in a chosen field and a commitment to that excellence. If you are willing to commit yourself to excellence, to surround yourself with things that represent this and miracles, your life will change. (When we speak of miracles, we speak of events or experiences in the real world which are beyond the ordinary).
1. We believe in developing people who: • Believe in themselves. • Believe in Real Estate as a career. • Believe in their company and its purpose. 2. We believe that people stay in environments where they are learning and valued.
It’s remarkable how much mediocrity we live with, surrounding ourselves with daily reminders that the average is the acceptable. Our world suffers from terminal normality. Take a moment to assess all the things around you that promote your being “average.” These are the things that keep you powerless to go beyond a “limit” you arbitrarily set for yourself. The first step to mastery is the removal of everything in your environment that represents mediocrity - removing those things that are limiting. One way is to surround yourself with friends who ask more of you than you ask of yourself. Didn’t some of your best teachers, coaches, parents, etc. ask more of you?
3. We believe an environment of creativity, growth and productive change will encourage our team to maximize their potential. 4. We believe in positive motivation, team collaboration and personal and team recognition.
Another step on the path to mastery is the removal of resentment toward masters. Develop compassion for yourself so that you can be in the presence of masters and grow from the experience. Rather than comparing yourself and resenting people who have mastery, remain open and receptive. Let the experience be like the planting of a seed within you that, with nourishment, will grow into your own individual mastery.
5. We believe in competence and excellence.
You see, we are all ordinary. But a master, rather than condemning himself for his “ordinariness,” will embrace it and use it as a foundation for building the extraordinary. Rather than using it as an excuse for inactivity, he will use it as a vehicle for correcting, which is essential in the process of attaining mastery. You must be able to correct yourself without invalidating or condemning yourself, to accept results and improve upon them. Correct, don’t protect. Correction is essential to power and mastery.”
7. We believe in an environment of mutual respect, consistent with personal values that are aligned with company values.
6. We believe in serving our clients to the best of our ability.
9. We believe one should pause and give others the benefit of the doubt. 10. We believe that the following “Top Line Values” will lead to their respective “Bottom Line Results.” Top Line Value
Bottom Line Results
Reliable products and effective service.
Reputation and public acceptance.
Understanding people and their values.
Creates trusted advisors.
Support personal growth.
Develops talent pool Key to future growth.
Spirit of cooperation rather than competition and coercion.
Increases morale.

Increases sense of purpose, productivity and profits.
8. We believe the responsibility of the leadership is to encourage and support the entire team.

Welcome to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty! We are thrilled you have decided to partner with the company that provides the greatest earning potential for professional associates in Northeast Florida and where you will enjoy a culture of caring and respect for one another that permeates the organization. It is important to understand why this is the case. Why do our associates earn more than associates at other firms, even the so-called 100% companies or desk fee companies? There are many reasons and five are the most impactful. 1. The quality and economic benefit of superior support staff: At BHHSFNR, we believe that associates will earn the most when they spend the most time doing dollar productive activities. Our non-competing managers are available for training and career coaching in order to facilitate that focus. In addition, BHHSFNR has a fully-staffed headquarters where our amazing team makes sure you are ahead of the curve with top-notch transaction management capabilities, state-of-the-art Client Relationship Management tools, massive exposure for your listings, access to the best relocation opportunities, the best marketing materials and the list goes on. This allows you to focus on prospecting, presenting to qualified buyers and sellers and negotiating contracts. That focus means more transactions. 2. A generous and easy-to-understand commission schedule: The commission split is not the only factor, but it is a piece of the equation as to why our associates earn the most in the industry. Our schedule is designed to reward strong producers and also maintain the viability of BHHSFNR so you will have the security of a company that will be in business for years to come. Our commission plans progress to a generous 90% payout to our associates. When considering the support available under this structure, it is no surprise that our producing associates overwhelmingly spend their entire real estate careers with us. 3. Clear competitive advantages offered to our clients that put them in the best position to succeed in buying and selling: The competitive advantages, or differentiators, we deliver to our clients are also competitive advantages for our associates. The benefit to the associate is being able to offer a stronger level of service to buyers and sellers, which will improve your listings taken ratio and buyer capture rate. When you spend so much time prospecting for new business and trying to build credibility with your network, it is important to have an amazing platform to deliver once you go into presentation mode. See the next page for some examples of competitive advantages you will be able to deliver to sellers of real estate when they choose BHHSFNR. These are in addition to and above and beyond the hundreds of things we do for each listing we represent.

4. Access to all markets including the middle, high end, and luxury utilizing global BHHS brand awareness: We have received calls from sellers wanting to list high-end properties simply because of the Berkshire Hathaway name. Our brand and its founder command respect and expect it throughout the organization. Please see the letter from Warren Buffett to the leaders in Berkshire Hathaway. This mission pairs well with the mission of our local owners to "raise the bar" in real estate in Northeast Florida. For our associates, this means a reputation that is already strong and continues to grow. The Berkshire brand is very recognizable with high net worth families, and as your average sale price increases so does your income. This is one reason many associates choose to join us as an upgrade after beginning their careers with another firm. 5. A locally rooted family atmosphere with staying power: What this means to you is a safe and secure environment to conduct your business over the long term. BHHSFNR has strong financial stability and a long-term strategic plan that is updated annually to ensure you will always have a place to work. In addition, the leadership, staff, and associates truly care for one another. This should not be overlooked as a major benefit, in that you don't have to be concerned about cutthroat behavior from your peers. We are a team of unique individuals that are all working toward the mission of delivering an amazing client experience. Welcome aboard. We look forward to a long and productive relationship together.

Fighter. Dreamer. Harpist. We proudly support Dreams Come True!
The power of a Dream ful filled... At 18, Isabelle Scott was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in the middle of her college auditions. As an awardwinning singer and harpist, Isabelle’s dream was to have a harp of her very own to last her through her college years and professional career. Although Isabelle had to endure months of isolation and chemotherapy, she found comfort in playing her harp for doctors and other patients at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. She is now in remission and through Dreams Come True and clients like you, we were able to grant Isabelle’s dream and surprise her with the Lyon & Healy Style 23 harp that she’s always wanted.

Study after study shows that no matter what generation Americans belong to, the vast majority believe that homeownership is an important part of their American Dream. The benefits of homeownership can be divided into two main categories: financial and non-financial (often referred to as emotional or social reasons).

Total net worth
The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University focused on homeowners and renters over the age of 65. Their study revealed that the difference in net worth between homeowners and renters at this age group was 47.5 times greater, with nearly half their net worth coming from home equity.
Homeowner
Renter
Homeowners over age 65 are much more financially prepared for retirement and often own their homes outright if they were fortunate enough to purchase their homes before the age 36.
Median Asking
Their 30 years of mortgage payments have paid off as they gained equity through monthly payments and as home values appreciated.
RENT since 1988
It is no surprise that lifelong renters have had a hard time accruing net worth as the latest Census report shows that the Median Asking Rent has been climbing consistently over the last 30 years. BOTTOM LINE Your monthly mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings,’ building your net worth with every payment. This works even when you don’t plan on staying in your home for 30 years!

Local Market Detail
NORTHEAST FLORIDA: HIGH DEMAND CONTINUES IN 2019 While the 2017 housing market was marked by renewed optimism fueled by stock market strength, higher wages and a competitive environment for home sales, 2018 delivered a more balanced approach toward residential real estate. Home buyers, steeped in several years of rising prices and low inventory, became more selective in their purchase choices.
SUMMARY STATISTICS
Yet the appetite for home buying remained strong enough to drive prices upward in virtually all markets across the country. In fact, national home prices have risen 53 percent from February 2012 to September 2018. That mark is a less dramatic but still a sizable 40 percent increase when inflation is factored in. The national median household income was last reported with a year-over-year increase of 1.8 percent, while home prices have gone up 5.5 percent in roughly the same amount of time. That kind of gap can’t be sustained indefinitely, but prices are still expected to

The booming sales at increased prices over the last several years may not be the same thrill ride to observe in 2019, but a long-awaited increase in inventory is something positive to consider, even if it arrives in the form of shrinking demand amidst rising mortgage rates.
