The work isn’t dramatically different on a $100k closing v a $1m closing. Unless you have the relationships bringing in the business, I’m not sure why a firm would cut you in on the upside.

If you want to get an idea of what a pure “eat what you kill” format is, do some sleuthing and see what Dickason firm paid to attorneys before it fell apart - in that model, Attorneys sourced the closings and showed up to conduct, but the firm covered all of the staff doing the work

I did residential for about a year in an ATL suburb. Pay was TRASH but I learned a ton in a short period of time. Started at $65k. The way to make more $ doing residential real estate is to be the agent writing title insurance and do more closings, have relationships with luxury agents/brokers, and have relationships with lenders who underwrite jumbo loans.

No. And I couldn’t tell you what it was but it wasn’t much more. I was learning the ropes with a solo practitioner and left after the market drastically changed after the “COVID real estate boom” and found a better opportunity in commercial real estate/litigation at a mid size firm.
