Incorporating 101 - Why Real Estate Agents Should Consider Forming a PA or LLC
This 90-minute class covers the financial and liability benefits a Realtor obtains from incorporating.
Learn a few important reasons why a Realtor might incorporate instead of operating as a sole proprietor
Breakfast will be offered and these topics will be covered:
-Personal Asset Protection: Both corporations and LLCs allow owners to separate and protect their personal assets. The State of Florida and FREC offer realtors some of the best liability protection against lawsuits and business debts in the US.
-Tax Flexibility / Deductible Expenses: Self-Employment tax is a whopping 15.3% and it comes out every penny an unincorporated realtor earns. You will see how by incorporating a realtor can reduce that by 40% to 50%. Additionally, corporations and LLCs usually find new business deductions that are not available to the unincorporated realtor.
-Less Risk of a Tax Audit: The Wall Street Journal reported that unincorporated sole proprietors (that's most realtors) are Ten Times more likely to have a tax audit than the incorporated ones.
-Additional Credibility: Adding "PA" or "LLC" after your business name can add instant credibility and authority. Homeowners and buyers often prefer doing business with an incorporated real estate professional.
Additionally, you will learn about the different types of corporate structures. From there you can make an informed decision as to what's best (and legal) for a realtor…. LLC, PA, S Corp, C Corp or Sole Proprietor.
Why leave tax money on the table and expose yourself to unnecessary lawsuit risk. This education session is helpful for the seasoned pro and new licensees alike.
