Real Broker Commission Split: What Agents Keep & When They Cap (2025)

In this episode we unpack the real broker commission split — Real Broker’s 85/15 standard split, the $12,000 annual cap (and $6,000 team-member cap), the per-transaction and compliance fees you’ll pay before and after capping, and how revenue share and stock incentives layer on top of commissions to change long-term payout. We translate the cap math into clear examples for solo agents, team leaders, and high-volume producers so you can project take-home pay and decide whether Real’s model fits your business.

What you’ll get from this episode:

• • Exact rundown of Real’s 85/15 split, the $12,000 agent cap ($6,000 for team members), and what “capping” means for your next closings.

• • Clear breakdown of fees: no monthly desk/franchise fees, the per-transaction Compliance & Broker Review charge, post-cap transaction fees, and how Elite status lowers costs.

  • How revenue share and the stock program interact with commissions — tiered payouts from the broker’s 15% and options to convert post-cap commission into stock.
