Fee based model
The same programme, bought without an intermediary's commission.
You save
$50,000–$100,000
The sales commission on the left, which you do not pay. The $2,500 fee replaces it.
Total estimated cost
$1,100,000–$1,200,000
Including the sales commission above.
Total estimated cost
$1,050,000–$1,100,000
The programme's own charges, plus the $2,500 fee. No commission.
What the advice costs
The programme costs the same. The advice does not.
Through a commission
$50,000–$100,000
Sales commission on USA Trump Gold Card. Marketed heavily and priced to match. Read this page on what is actually settled about the route before anything else.
Through a fee
$2,500
Six months as a private client — route selection, the financing, the portfolio, and me on the end of a phone. Twelve months is $5,000. Paid by you, so the answer can be no.
Total saving
$50,000–$100,000
The whole commission, before the $2,500 fee. The programme costs what it costs either way.
This is the commission only. The licensed agent, the legal work and the government fees in the list above are payable whoever advises you, and nothing here removes them — a saving that quietly included a statutory fee would be the same trick in the other direction.
Commission ranges are typical rather than universal, and no firm is named. They are not published anywhere, which is the point of them.
