You already know how to sell real estate. The question is what your brokerage does with the money you make.
Real is 85/15 until you cap, then 100% — with no monthly fees, and it pays you on the agents you bring, in cash and in stock.

What the model actually is
| What | How it works |
|---|---|
| Split | 85/15 until you cap. After you cap, you keep 100% of your commission. |
| Cap | $12,000, $6,000 or $4,000 depending on your arrangement. |
| Spousal teams | A married or domestic partnership team shares a single $12,000 cap — not one each. |
| Revenue share | Five tiers, 5% down to 1% of Real’s revenue on agents in your network who cap. |
| Stock | Invest 5% of commission (10% after cap); Real adds a 10% bonus (15% after cap). |
| Elite stock award | $12,000 in stock for agents who reach Elite status. |
| Willable | After five years, revenue share can be designated to a beneficiary. |
| Retirement | Keep earning monthly revenue share after retirement while licensed. |
Program terms are set by Real and subject to change. Nothing here is a representation of earnings.
The part nobody puts on the page
What Real actually costs
The 85/15 split and the cap are the headline. Here is everything underneath it.
| Fee | Amount | When |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-up | $249 | One time, at joining |
| Annual brokerage fee | $900 | Yearly |
| CBR | $50 | Per transaction |
| Post-cap transaction fee | $285 | Per transaction, after you cap |
Figures effective September 1, 2026. That is the complete list — there is no office fee, no desk fee and no monthly fee. If you find a cost we haven’t mentioned, tell me and I will add it here.

Headcount tells you where a company has been. Growth tells you where it’s going.
Real grew agents 26% year over year and revenue 30% — and then acquired REMAX. An agent evaluating a move should care more about that direction than about any single number on a page.
About the company
“So what happens to my brand?”
Nothing — and the reason is structural, not reassurance. Real REMAX Group is the parent company. It is not a merged brokerage. Real Broker, LLC continues as a subsidiary running the same platform; REMAX continues as a franchise network with its own brand and independent broker/owners.
Your split, your cap, your revenue share and your equity sit with Real Broker — and Real Broker didn’t change hands. It gained a parent.
