Overview
About
Sperry Commercial franchisees operate commercial real estate brokerage offices, employing agents to source, market, and close commercial property transactions. Day-to-day work involves recruiting and managing agents, overseeing client relationships, ensuring compliance with regulations, and splitting commission revenue with the franchisor via flat monthly fees and percentage-based royalties on gross commission income.
