The Smart Choice For Independent-Minded Agents.
This is a firm where you may “run your own business” with broker support. We were blessed to become the largest independent real estate company in the state of Georgia as of April 2005 - there are over 2400 agents in the Solid Source family! You will never be asked for productivity projections, there are no monthly rankings published and the only time a broker calls you from Solid Source is if we are calling you back. We are licensed in Georgia, Tennessee, North & South Carolina. There are five non-competing full-time brokers available to help you as the need arises. We offer an average of 15 training classes per month free of charge (at least four have free CE!), which are also professionally edited and made available on DVD for $25. As an independent contractor, it is nice to feel comfortable marketing YOURSELF with a brokerage that supports this philosophy with customizable marketing materials and corporate strategic alliances that you can profit from individually.
Meet your clients at any of 10 Solid Source offices, available 24/7, located in Roswell, Gwinnett, Kennesaw, Jonesboro, Cumming, Hiram, Oakwood (Gainesville Area), Chamblee/Tucker, Buckhead (Lenox Pointe) and Stonecrest
If these offices are not convenient for you, please keep in mind that you are never required to come in. All transactions can transpire via fax or regular mail. The Solid Source Transaction Management System (TMS) allows you to see every piece of paperwork you turn in for three years ONLINE in your electronic office file. You can literally manage every transaction from any computer with internet connection! Please see Solid Source on CNN Headline News on the Careers Page of our website for being the first paperless real estate office in the United States!

Get your check payable to YOU at the closing table from any Solid Source Network Attorney! If your attorney is not on the list, we will be glad to add the office if they meet a minimum criteria. If the closing is at another attorney’s office (outside the Pay At Close Attorney Network), your check will be direct deposited into your checking account, mailed to you or available for pick up the day after the closing check is received. There are over 60 locations where the attorney will write your check to you at closing and give you a separate check to mail in to Solid Source for the transaction and FMLS fees, if applicable.
Morris-Hardwick-Schneider has partnered with Solid Source Realty as our corporate attorney firm. This is the largest real estate closing firm in the Southeast and it is a privilege to market to our clients that we can offer this type of support through the sale or purchase of a home! There are over 80 attorneys that have a two hour phone and email response time to Solid Source agents - this is a blessing during a transaction issue!
All Divisions Include the following:
The license holding fee is $45.00/month on the Gold Plan and $300/month on the Platinum Plan. This fee includes FMLS and GAMLS access, a personal GAMLS website, phone extension from our office number that routes to your cell phone and an @solidsourcerealty.com email address forwarded to your primary email account. This monthly fee will be automatically debited from your checking account free of charge or credit card for a processing fee. You may also pay in advance yearly, however if you leave Solid Source for any reason, your dues paid in advance will be refunded for the period following a 30 day notice of departure . There is no time commitment in our Independent Contractor Agreement. We want our Realtors here because you want to be here - not because you are trapped in a contract. We believe the key to serving our agents is maintaining an attitude of gratitude and keeping you equipped with the latest technology, marketing tools and education!Residential Division:
Why should TEAMS consider joining Solid Source?
Most of the teams at Solid Source choose one team member to be on the
Platinum Plan at $300/month & $40/ transaction. The rest of the team
members are on the Gold Plan at only $45/month & $300/transaction! This
is a tremendous savings through each year meaning more advertising
dollars available to promote your team!
Example of a 4-member team with 4 transactions in a month:
Team
Leader: $300/month ($40/transaction)
Team Member
#2 $ 45/month
Team Member
#3 $ 45/month
Team Member
#4 $ 45/month
Transaction
1,2,3,4 $160 (4x$40/transaction)
$595
+ FMLS fees
GOLD PLAN:
Monthly dues of $45 plus $300 per residential sales transaction plus - FMLS(.0012% x sales price). The transaction fee for a lease or referral to another firm (i.e. in another state) is $100. Never pay more than $12,000 per calendar year in transaction fees.
Example….
Sales Price 200,000 x 3% Commission $6,000.00
FMLS Fee 200,000 x .0012 -240.00
Transaction Fee
-300.00
$5,460.00 IS YOURS!!
PLATINUM PLAN:
Monthly dues of $300 plus $40 per residential sales transaction - plus FMLS(.0012% x sales price). The transaction fee for a lease or referral to another firm (i.e. in another state) is $100. Never pay more than $12,000 per calendar year in transaction fees. This plan is GREAT if you close more than one transaction per month and can be used to benefit teams since one Agent can be on this plan and the other team members can be on the Gold Plan, maintaining low monthly fees.
Example….
Sales Price 200,000 x 3% Commission $6,000.00
FMLS Fee 200,000 x .0012 -240.00
Transaction Fee
- 40.00
$5,720.00 IS YOURS!!

We are members of 11 Realtor Boards and 5 listing services.

We also have commercial training classes in person and on DVD regarding zoning, land and financing.
