Unlike many brokerage firms, Bean Group provides Showcase Listings on all company listings – but does not pass on the cost to our agents. This allows our agents to showcase their listings with multiple photos, property descriptions, neighborhood information, virtual tours and more.

According to the 2008 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, photos and information about properties for sale were the two features ranked as very useful by more than 80 percent of buyers in the home search.

There are a number of benefits to Bean Group agents:

Each Showcase Listing features convenient forms for buyers to contact our agents directly for additional information on their listings. These inquiries pass directly to the listing agent.

Each Showcase Listing provides an opportunity for Bean Group agents to extend their personal brand. The agent’s portrait, phone number, email address and and custom Bean Group agent website are all prominently displayed on each of their listings. Every Showcase listing is an opportunity to leverage that agents hard work by connecting with buyers and demonstrating their marketing savvy to potential seller clients.

Each Showcase Listing automatically cross promotes the agent’s other listings by automatically displaying up to three additional listings.

Each Showcase Listing allows the agent to display up to 25 jumbo size property photographs. Statistics show that properties with more photos receive more attention from buyers.

Each Showcase Listing allows the agent to display custom headlines and property descriptions, allowing our agents to more fully market the property online.

Showcase Listing Enhancements on REALTOR.com at no charge. This is just one more reason why our agents are so enthusiastic about being affiliated with Bean Group.

At Bean Group we understand the nature of the real estate business, as well as the nature of the real estate transaction. Most agents work on 100% commission, and after spending weeks, months (and sometimes more) brokering a transaction, the last thing the agent wants is to have to wait to be paid by their broker!

For several years now we have paid our agents’ commission checks via direct deposit to the agents’ bank account. We have always felt this is the most efficient (and greenest) way to pay our agents. After all – forcing an agent to stop by the office to pick up a check, then wait in line at the bank to deposit that check doesn’t seem like a good use of an agents time – not to mention the fact that the agent may have to wait for funds to clear before they access their commission!

While we have been paying our agents via direct deposit for quite some time we are happy to announce that we have recently upgraded our management software and banking process, enabling us distribute commissions earned by our agents even faster, in fact we now pay our agents commission via direct deposit to the agent’s bank account, with funds being available in 2 business days.

This is just one more reason why our agents are so enthusiastic about being affiliated with Bean Group.
