About Your Company and Remember to Pay Your Association Dues

Why you should be glad you are part of this organization ...

Clients First Realty, LLC created approximately 1.1 million dollars in gross income in 2008 ... the 'Company' paid out 91% of this to their most important assets, "THEIR AGENTS" ...

99.3% of all agent owed commissions were paid out to the "AGENTS" in less than 48 hours from time of recordation ... it could be faster but some 'Title Companies' don't see sending the checks out as an urgent item ...

CFR makes an in depth effort to put the commission in your hands as quickly as possible ... we insist that the paperwork is complete but our corporate transaction tracking system allows the agents and the company, working together, to stay on top of the paper flow, thus allowing completion to be accomplished in a timely and satisfactory manner ...

Our virtual office model as well as www.CFRAGENT.com ... the "Agents Virtual Office" online allows the seamless flow of your transactions ... this also helps reduce corporate overhead which enables the company to pass on a higher percentage of the commission to our agents ...

According to the local association rosters, most of our agents have paid their association dues ... If you have not renewed with your local association, please do so before 5:oo PM, January 23, 2009 ... If you don't make this deadline your local association will suspend your REALTOR status as well as access to the MLS ...

Your Independent Contractors Agreement and the Company's Policy and Procedure Manual as outlined on page 31 requires your membership stay current with local, state and national association ...
