Weichert, Realtors is a New Jersey institution — a large, family-founded company headquartered in Morris Plains with company-owned and franchised offices across the state and a well-known internal lead network. Splits are typically graduated with production and vary by office, often paired with lead-program economics on company-generated business. NextHome Shore Success is local in a different way: one owner, one office, your Shore market — with flat-fee economics and no corporate layers between you and a decision.
Brokerage programs, splits, caps, and fees change and often vary by office, market, and agreement. Details below describe each model in general, publicly known terms — always verify current specifics directly with any brokerage you are considering, including us. Our current structure: multiple competitive splits plus a flat $599 transaction fee covering E&O and franchise fees (subject to change).

Who each model tends to fit
Weichert often fits agents who: want a big NJ name, structured office environment, and company-fed leads even at referral-split economics.
NextHome Shore Success often fits agents who: want NJ-local to mean their broker actually works their market — and want to own their pipeline instead of renting it.
