Houston Broker: Champions vs Realty Associates?

Question

Can anyone compare and contrast Champions Real Estate Group and Realty Associates?

Look similar in concept.  Yearly fee and a per transaction fee rather than commission split.  Champions local office is more convenient for me but that's not super important, all things being equal it might tip the scale.

I just satisfied requirements for Texas RE license and will use it to facilitate my investing as well as traditional agent work.

I joined with Champions about a year ago. I started as an investor and did 7 transactions on my own before getting licensed. As stated above if you can handle all of your own deals, market, and learn the transaction management software then its great. I have not reached out for any support from them so I cant comment but other than that its great. The commission savings on 3 of my own transactions so far is the 5 digit range. As long as you do what is required for the transaction the commission checks get deposited at closing. They have a print shop in house for cards, signs, etc with fast turnarounds and priced the same or better than online.

I know of the two brokerages and they are both run by good people. I am also a Broker in Texas but I do something a little different. If you would like to brand your own business I can help you have your own brokerage without having to be a broker your self (your corporation will be your sponsor) I just charge a flat monthly fee and no commission split or transaction fees. Of course for that price I cannot provide much on the ground training but if your mainly interested in investing I may can help you. www.YourLLCbroker.com and www.YourBroker.info
