There are generally two types of brokerage firms:

• Desk Fee – You pay a monthly or annual fee and receive a high commission amount.
• Commission split – No monthly fees and you’ll receive less commission amounts until you reach a high cap.

We feel that brokers should make every cent they earn from their commission. We charge a monthly fee to cover the costs of our online platforms, insurance, and other business expenses. Our transaction fees are low and while our main source of revenue we focus on higher productivity through automation, saving brokers time to focus on generating more business. It’s a win-win-win for the Broker, Clients, and The Pineapple Brand Company.

Absolutely! 

The why is simple: Branding and compliance.

We want to ensure you have the tools necessary to complete your job and in real estate, business cards are a necessary tool. A Google search will reveal MANY types of real estate business cards at various price points. We want to ensure consistency across our brand and ensure the necessary information for Illinois state compliance is included. To meet these goals we supply our Brokers with business cards. Need more? You got it! We’ll ship them to you.

We can help direct you towards various styles of yard signs and companies to print, install, or manage the signs. The cost of the signs, install, etc., will be the responsibility of the Broker. This is one way we keep our costs down and your commission at 100%.

Yes! We maintain seperate non-interest bearing accounts for general real estate transactions and leasing deposits (for properties we manage). These accounts are held at Wintrust Community Banks, which maintains more than 100+ branches in the Chicagoland area, including the City of Chicago, south, west, and north subburbs. Click here for all Wintrust locations. Once transactions are recorded through our custom, mobile-ready software, these community banks are able to serve our brokers.

Did you know that non-monetary items can be held was earnest to ensure preformance of the contract?  While rare, if you have a non-monetary item (car title, jewelry, crypto, etc.) to hold as earnest for a transaction, we can accomodate that, too.

Nope. You won’t be required to staff an office or spend time on the “floor”. You may be required to attend specific trainings from time to time but not all trainings and meetings are mandatory. 

The back-end of The Pineapple Brand Company is built on the Zoho One platform. This includes their email, CRM, e-sign, automation, and other modules. You’ll have acess to this platform, too! Need additional customizations or automations? Reach out and we’ll see what can be done to accomodate your request. 

Currently we only support Illinois. Other states may be added in the future.
