My listing herehttp://www.zillow.com/homedetails/429-Cemetery-Rd-Hamlin-PA-18427/2145457856_zpid Has a "No image" graphic for the main photo, but there are 14 photos!  WHen I go into my control panel, the "main image" shows as the "main image' but online all you see is the graphic saying "no image.

Some Re/max agents can pay a desk fee of $500 - $2000 per month depending on the agreement with their broker.. The 100% is misleading in my opinion.  Esp. if you are paying $1500 / month desk fee on top of paying for every sign, every rider, lockboxes, for secretarial use (and don't forget many office charge buyers and sellers "administrative fees" on top of commissions), for copier use, for paper, postage, letter head....then there is the MLS dues, lock box key fees, NAR dues. website fees, marketing costs...While an agent may get a check for $6,000 or $10,000, let's not forget that a great deal of that money is going to be eaten up by ALL of their expenses from health care, to vehicle maintenance and fuel, clothing, etc.  And they have to save out money for taxes too. Fortunately, my office does not charge me for much - no desk fees, they provide signs, lockboxes, some advertising - the trade off however is a lower commission split. Not whining at all - this is the career path I've chosen and I love it - but people need to understand when the agent walks away from the closing table with that "big fat check" a big chunk of that check just goes right back into the cost of being in business.  Which is quite expensive. People think it's easy money until they actually do it.  LOL 

Thank you!
