Pay structure for an Agents who work on a team ?
We are doing some restructuring for 2015.
Couple questions ...
1. Realtors with a team, can an an individual Realtor, who has a more properties then he can handle himself, hire a Realtor to work for him exclusively, for a profit split, or a wage and commission structure, I see many of the top agents have teams, wondering what that setup and pay structure typically looks like.
Does the agent with a team, doing the "hiring" need to be a broker?

Agents working together must be under the same broker, unless the brokers agree to the splits between agents. Agents may have a "team" but generally those folks are administrative, as I pointed out in your other post on this topic. It takes a broker to hire or employ an agent, they may be a managing broker working under a owner/broker of the real estate company.
Again, the best thing if you're trying to save on commissions is to get your broker's license. :)
