HOW TO HIRE A BROKER
HOW TO HIRE A BROKER
“How to hire your Broker” - FREE GUIDE
Many agents believe they need to interview with a brokerage to get hired, but the truth is—it should be the other way around. You should be interviewing your broker to ensure they provide the support, resources, and opportunities that align with your vision for growth. I've seen countless agents join teams only to realize later that it wasn’t the right fit, wishing they had chosen differently from the start. But there’s no need for regret—Real offers a fresh start and the freedom to build your business on your terms. Keep scrolling to see why more and more agents are choosing to call Real home.
Real Broker explained
Everything you need to know…..
Post-cap transaction fees: $285 per sale or 15% (whichever is less.) Eligible Elite agents receive a reduced $100 sale transaction fee for transactions created on or after September 1, 2026.
Are you tired of seeing top-performers at boutique brokerages getting 'sweetheart' deals?
It’s no secret: better splits and caps for high producers make sense for them, but it often leaves other agents struggling to climb the ladder. This creates a system where those at the top stay at the top, and those at the bottom can’t catch up.
At REAL Broker, our mission is to level the playing field and help every agent grow, from brand new to BUILDER. That’s why at Real Broker, every agent benefits from the same split and cap structure, no matter your production level, experience, or connections.
Here’s the breakdown:
85/15 commission split
Individual Agents: $12,000 company cap
Teams: $12,000 company cap for team leaders and $6,000 for team members.
$249 One-time sign-up fee per agent
No Monthly Fees
$900 annual brokerage fee per agent, paid from first 3 transactions per anniversary year and only if you are producing. (great for new agents starting out to avoid a fee when production is slow)
Up to 3 personal transactions per anniversary year (per agent), with $250 transaction fee only, no broker split!
A $50 CBR (Compliance & Broker Review) fee per transaction that covers broker review, E&O insurance, and processing
Agents who earn the Elite Agent Award receive up to $24,000 in free stock in the company (subject to eligibility conditions, and a vesting period.)
Real also offers additional opportunities involving stock awards, optional stock purchases, revenue share, and agent attraction. These programs have their own eligibility requirements, conditions, and vesting rules.
*** Fee schedules and incentive programs can change. Always confirm current terms with Real and review your applicable Independent Contractor Agreement and any team addendum before making a decision.
Revolutionizing Real Estate: The Tech that Set’s us Apart
One of the biggest reasons I made the switch to Real was their game-changing technology. After dealing with multiple logins, scattered platforms, and an app that didn’t work at all at my previous brokerage, I knew it was time for something better. Real offers one app, one platform, and one login—everything you need, right at your fingertips, wherever you are. Watch this video to see how Real's cutting-edge tech sets us apart!"

Real’s technology is leaps and bounds ahead of most other brokerages out there. We have a program called ReZen and we do everything on one platform. Everything is very well integrated and I can complete a transaction from start to finish from my phone on using the ReZen app. One log in, one platform, does everything, on the go!
Real Also utilizes AI technology to make your business streamline and efficient.

No. You have an annual fee that is only paid out of your first three transactions, so if you don’t sell a home, there is no fee.
This is ideal for newer agents or agents who have a life event happen and need to step away temporarily.

My all time favorite thing about REAL is that it offers TRUE NATIONWIDE COLLABORATION WITH TOP PRODUCING AGENTS. There is NO gatekeeping at REAL.
As an agent at REAL you are not allowed to offer special training to only your downline, you have to offer it to all REAL agents. This ensures there is no bait and switch type recruiting.
My other favorite feature of REAL is the Technology. One log in, One Platform, One App! I can run my business on the go on my phone with an app that is updating in “real” time. (no pun intended! haha). This feature was a game changer for me. I got tired of multiple log ins, website glitches, an app that was useless and didn’t work and worst of all, 4+ years at another cloud brokerage with ZERO innovation or improvements. The same technology existed with no change.
