Fee Structure

Flexible Options for Every Agent

Monthly Brokerage Fee Option

A streamlined, predictable option ideal for high-volume agents who want to retain full commission earnings with minimal monthly overhead.

Broker Support:
Gain 24/7 access to two full-time brokers for expert guidance, contract review, and transaction support.

Keep 100% of Your Commission:
No brokerage split—your full commission stays with you on every transaction.

Flat Monthly Brokerage Fee:
Pay just $150/month with no brokerage commission taken, allowing for consistent monthly budgeting.

Included Coverage:

Errors & Omissions Insurance – included in your monthly brokerage fee
Training Access – ongoing education across all real estate commission categories

Broker Compliance Fee:*

$250 per transaction side for compliance review and processing

Compliance Assistance:
Our Compliance Department ensures every file is professionally reviewed and fully prepared for legal audit requirements.

* The Broker Compliance Fee of $250 applies per side of the transaction. If you represent both buyer and seller, the fee applies to each side individually.

Flat-Fee Per Transaction Option

A flexible, pay-as-you-go model designed for agents who prefer to avoid monthly commitments while maintaining access to full broker support and training.

Broker Support:
Enjoy 24/7 access to two full-time brokers for expert guidance and support on every transaction.

Flat Brokerage Fee:
Pay a flat fee of up to $499 per transaction side*—never more. This simple pricing model ensures cost predictability on both high- and low-value deals.

Cost-Sensitive for Lower Commissions:
If your commission is below $4,990, you’ll only pay 10% of your gross commission, not the full $499—for example, a $3,000 commission would result in just a $300 fee.

Additional Per-Transaction Fees:*

Errors & Omissions Insurance – $199
Broker Compliance Review – $250

Compliance Assistance:
Our Broker Compliance Department works alongside you to ensure every file is complete, accurate, and legally audit-ready.

Training & Development:
Receive ongoing training on all aspects of the real estate business, helping you maximize your earning potential across multiple commission sources.

* All fees—including the flat brokerage fee, Errors & Omissions Insurance, and Broker Compliance—apply per side of the transaction. If you represent both buyer and seller, fees apply to each side individually.
