LONG ISLAND BROKER PAYS AGENTS
100% COMMISSIONS

LONG ISLAND, NY (PRESS*RELEASE) SEPTEMBER 04, 2003 --- A Real Estate Agency on Long Island is paying its salespeople 100% commissions to the delight of local agents. Although the concept is not new, the Company's goal was to create an affordable alternative to Re/Max® and other higher cost Agencies. This goal was realized when Marc S. Ragusa, Esq. founded Long Island Realty Agents Inc. – Long Island’s first low cost 100% commission Realty Agency. With over 15 years of extensive real estate experience, Mr. Ragusa combined his experience as a Real Estate Attorney and Broker to create an innovative Realty Agency focused on the needs of Salespeople.

Mr. Ragusa’s philosophy for the Company is to provide Salespeople with the flexibility to work more independently and earn substantially higher commissions while benefiting from the extensive support the Company provides to all its Agents.

In turn, this structure also benefits the Company’s Clients and Customers. As an independent company, their goal is to offer knowledge and experience with the best of service and support. Since the Company's agents earn 100% commissions, they pass the savings onto their clients. "We typically save our Sellers thousands of dollars over industry standard commission rates, while still proving full service." The company's website at www.LIRealtyAgents.com also provides extensive resources for both Buyers and Sellers, including an MLS search engine, videos, mortgage calculators and more.

Agents pay $199 a month to earn 100% commissions with Long Island Realty Agents.  Other plans start at $99 a month for 80% commissions.  The company also includes office space, signs, business cards, MLS forms, training and more at no additional charge.  New agents often comment that they were initially skeptical.   But once they join the company they never go back to the 50-50 split offered by most other Agencies.  "I've nearly doubled my income and I get more support than most other brokers", comments Raymond Eaton, an agent with the Company.  Mr. Ragusa personally supervises each agent and provides detailed support and training.

Marc S. Ragusa, Esq. has been a Licensed Real Estate Broker since 1991. He graduated with Law Review honors from the Catholic University Law School in Washington, D.C. and he’s an alumnus of Hofstra University in New York.
