It's all part of my home office expenses!

I'm the owner of our company ... so whatever I do I pay for!  Nothing is free.

Yes, both. But I can't remember the last time I made a color copy at the office and about the only things I use the copier for at the office is for final settlement statements after a closing.

Interesting question.  T-A-N-S-T-A-A-F-L.   Never ever.  Even when there is no charge...there's a cost involved.   

I do everything from home or source it from vendors.

No and no

No, but I'm sure the cost is wrapped up in another fee.

Paul that is because you work for a 100% Broker... check out the other brokers and the answer is no but you end up getting nickle and dimed to death so you might as well work for an 80/20 or 75/25 broker and it will be better:))Endre

Yes, but I've never used it for my copies.

Yes & yes!  I don't think I've ever used the company copier though - I either have a commercial printer do the work or if I'm printing something basic, I use my own printer.

I don't use the office for copies as I work from home. However, our association provides a Realtor discount card that works at Office Max/Office Depot. I go there to have my double sided color listing flyers printed. It's usually at least a 66% discount.

This link shows the discounts...

We have our own printers...

I do not charge, but also any large quantities of color can be done at stapes for far less than i can print and buy all that ink

This office is a no; the previous office was .7 for b/w and .15 for color!

My office doesn't have any brick and mortar store fronts so my answers are N/A and N/A.  In most offices, you either pay in via a transaction fee, split or directly, but I am sure agents pay for it one way or another.

We don't have a printer or copier.  So the answer is nothing...

No. no,

Suprisingly the broker does not mind. Paperless retention system does not have any files to put away, needing a good scanner.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington - yes, for everything, our market center has a charge.

Yes

no charge for copies.... but each agent pays their fair share of the total amount used for supplies....it's short money....there are 30 who share that fee and many are not in the office to use the supplies....

Yes & their are different prices based on toner usage I guess. Color is .10 & B&W are like 1 or 2? something like that.

No to B&W copies, yes to color copies if I am in the brokerage office.  I work out of a home office, though, so I pay for it all there. 

Yes they do - not of the fee but it's a little less than the office store

One way or another, you pay.

You bet! (I will admit the office cost per copy is lower than I can print mayself)

And forces those Transaction fees.

And makes certain home warranties and title company are pushed. And the list goes on.

Brokers don't work on the same business models as agents. Agents are on the menu.

Not within reason but honestly I don't use the office for copies and haven't in years

My office does very little paper regardless of color.

.45 for color and .06 for black and white

They do for both, at different costs, but I am never in the office, so don't know the cost.

Whatever the going rate at Kinkos is.  AKA, I go to kinkos for my color and B&W copies.

The monthly fee covers an allocated number of copies.

I own the office so I suppose it's coming out of my pocket.

Sure; I charge myself everytime I order new toner for my printers.

Paul - I have a printer at home, and pay for all of my own copies when the ink runs out.

Yes for both. 

Color Yes.....Black and White No

In a way yes. We pay a quarterly tech fee which covers marketing materials, agent websites (which I don't use) high speed internet and use of the copy machine and paper. I get my fee mostly in color copies and paper.

Our brokerage office does not have a copier (or a fax) thus, no charge!

Nope..but I do have my own commercial color printer and its worth it and a write off.

just black and white now no charge

I have my own printer in my office but I definitely use the office printer when I am printing 100s of copies. I just moved. My old office did have separate codes and costs for each B&W /Color printer. I haven't checked on the new office yet. 

    When I was with Coldwell and C21, those brokers gave us free rein on the copy machines.  

     Today, it's either my own printer, or Office Max with the Florida Realtors discount card.

My agents print all their stuff at home

Free for black and white and all scanning and faxing. Color is charged 25 cents a click.

Paul,

We did not charge our agents, from our point of view is one of those coo-coo ways to make a few pennies.  We did not charge for postage or FEDEX.  It was all part of doing business, and no one abused the privilege.  A

When I affiliated the office did not have a color printer.  Now I have my own as with my laser printer, scanner, etc.  

Current broker doesn't provide color copies, only black and white and it's free. Previous broker has no color copies and charges a fee for black and white.  Another previous broker has both and charges for both.

We do not charge for printing.  Part of their monthly fees

When I was part of a local small office, there was a limit on color laser printing of brochures.

It's in my Brokerage budget. So I do not charge my agents for copies. 

No we do not charge for copies. -Kasey

Expensivebut necessary. We budget for this...

I run my own office, so yes, I buy the toner.

If I were at BBR, they offer X amount FREE per month and then charge after that. I've made 3 copies there once, the day they signed my partnership papers.

I pay the bill for all of these, and few people are allowed to print them without a great reason.

Most reports are submitted to the clients digitally these days so the printers do get ignored most of the time.

Of course not.

I do all my own printing at home!

We work from our home office. When we do go into the office, our broker does not charge for black and white copies. The color machine is not for agent's use.

yes
