At Real, the brokerage model is designed so productive agents can keep more of what they earn, instead of watching their profits disappear into splits, caps, and junk fees.
Key points to highlight in bullet form:
- Standard 85/15 split – you keep 85%, 15% goes to the brokerage
- A low annual cap (for solo agents and team leaders)
- Reduced caps for team members and mega-team members
- No monthly desk or franchise fees – you’re not paying rent for an office you don’t use
After you hit your cap, you keep 100% of your commissions and just pay flat, predictable transaction fees per closing
No monthly desk or franchise fees; costs are primarily per-transaction.
Example of current fee structure:
$750 annual brokerage fee spread over first 3 deals ($250 each)
$40 compliance / broker review fee per transaction (includes E&O).
~$285 transaction fee that drops to ~$129 for Elite Agents.

This structure makes it easy to project your net income at different GCI levels and know the maximum you’ll pay your brokerage each year. Compared to traditional models with higher splits, bigger caps, and monthly fees, Real is built so serious agents can put thousands more per year back into their business and life.
