That depends on their contract with the broker. Each office is different. Talk to many office brokers and ask to see their contract. While you are at the office, note how busy they are. Be sure to ask what your commission split will be when you start and at what level does it change. Also many offices now offer a salary + commission program. This might be best to start out. Most real estate agents work for less than $15 / hr.. You have to build your business to increase your income.

There is no easy way to generate leads.  It is all hard work...passing out your cards, word of mouth, referrals.  In my area  a lot of agents ignor fsbo's and if you approach them right you will get them every time.  Do not send a letter or call.  Show up at the door, introduce yourself as a Realor.  Ask about the house and whyn they are moving but let the conversation flow naturally, don't force the lsiting that will come if you just talk about everyday stuff.  Also give them all the forms they would need IF they sell the hosue on their own .  If they don't sell it on their own they will remember the nice girl who brought the forms and was nice to them......they WILL call and list with you.

There are some Filipino directories on the Web, and some may allow you to advertise for free. That's a start.\n\nYou can send a well written press release about your service and then send it to free press release submission services. Free, however, means EXTREMELY LIMITED audience -- e.g. press release submissions such as PRWeb will only allow free submissions but will not circulate your release; only put it in their website.\n\nYou can contact producers in any of the shows shown in The Filipino Channel (TFC) and hope that they will like your story enough to feature you so you can talk of your new agency.\n\nGo to a Filipino store (if you are in the US) and get copies of the various weekly publications written for the Filipino community. Check if you can have your ad there for free (I doubt they will accept it for free though).\n\nThere are many things you can do for free -- but you need to be CREATIVE and not afraid to pitch your business to anyone (without spamming, of course).

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Professional Real Estate Development 2nd Edition by Richard B. Peiser, Anne B. Frej\n* Real Estate Development: Principles and Process by Mike E. Miles\n* Be a Successful Residential Land Developer by R. Dodge Woodson\n* Land Development Calculations: Interactive Tools and Techniques for Site Planning, Analysis and Design by Walter Martin Hosack\n* Residential Land Developer's Checklists and Forms by R. Dodge Woodson\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

If I understand the question properly... \n\nYour representing properties in Asia and looking for buyers in California? \n\nI would think this is more of a licensing question for an Asian goverment. I would recommend checking with the California Department of Real Estate. www.dre.ca.gov to be sure how California looks at it.

My ex-wife (a Realtor) always told me the way to an agents heart is through their stomach. Drop off lunch on Friday at about 11:00. Agents are usually hanging around the office on Friday mornings just staring at the walls. A sandwich platter will do nicely. Also find out what days your local offices hold agents meetings. Its usually a set time every week. Call the office manager or broker and offer to supply coffee and pastry. You don't have to hang around but you leave many cards and gifts with your name on them.\nGood Luck and Bon Appetite\n\nSince no one else is answering I'll add a little more. Remember that agents don't like to be hard sold. Try to get to know some of them on a personal level before you start talking business. When you do one of the things you can do is offer to keep them company at open house situations. Especially in new construction agents (women in particular) appreciate the company of some one they can trust.

yes, one option is to type it in search and you will have a list to search on, since you know what particular type of investment you want to put in the country or to any city in particular. If the Investment Planning Corporation of the Philippines is a private firm, then they must also have their website.There are national agencies though that can help you with it like the Department of Trade and Industry, National Economic and Development Authority or you can just go to the Philippine government site www.gov.ph  and you have a list of govt agencies performing those tasks and services.  There are also  Regional Investment Board, Provincial, Municipal and City in different Regions, Provinces, Cities and Municipalities.

do what every other biz does.  buy a lead list of people who invest in real estate outsside usa and start smiling and dialing.  but i will let you in on a known fact, people don't invest, unless you have something you can send them. and in that somthing you send them, make sure you are spelling it out a - z.  everything.  why they should put their money in asia. basically what are the returns.  whats the project, whos involved,  experience level, track record etc.  good luck.  leads cost about $1-15 per potential investor and find yourself a good lead broker or you will be wasting your time.
