I know you're not looking for this answer, but neither scenario is better or worse than the other--both are good. Achieving either one takes a lot of hard work, personal time, personal marketing expense not borne by broker, etc. etc. (I knew I'd open myself up to this sort of questioning when I made my original post...like I said, the same old song, the same old questions, the same old criticisms, over and over and over ad infinitum. Nature of the business, I guess. LOL!)

probably the one that brings in more revenue... Regarding ten sales, assuming the fact that half were listings, top brass sees company promotion via yard sign along with potenital sign calls for agents, which could produce even more sales. Companies who provide for "floor time" could see this as advantageous because of sign calls. two-one million dollar sales is nice. And let's say that one is a listing, this provides for prestige promotion (relative to my market) for the top brass. In general, marketing expectations from the high end seller typically is greater, thus the bottom line somewhat thinner...Also, commissions tend to be less as the asking price is higher. A fee office could care a less if there were 10 million dollar sales or two 200K sales sinces their revenue is based on a flat monthly fee paid by the affiliate. The ego boost cannot be ignored from the agent standpoint when you bag the big one...!
