Commission structure

Three things, kept apart and with no fine print: what it costs to join, what it costs to stay and what each transaction carries. Joining is $200 in registration; staying is $100 a month. Neither depends on what you sell.

On every residential sale, the Transaction fee is 0.1% of the property's sale price, not of your commission: just multiply that price by 0.001. A $250,000 home means $250; a $300,000 home, $300.

Each transaction also carries $75 for Errors and omissions, the charge tied to that insurance, with coverage set by the policy, and an $80 Broker fee, also called the Broker Service Fee. You or your client cover the Broker fee, as agreed for that transaction; it is never passed on to the client automatically.

Your CAP is an annual limit of $10,000 in Transaction fees, and it starts over every January 1. Only the Transaction fees you pay during the year count: not property prices, not your commissions.

Registration, the monthly fee, Errors and omissions, the Broker fee and mentorship splits stay out of that total. If you're at $7,500, you have $2,500 to go.

As you get close, let's review together the charges on the transaction that reaches the limit and on the ones after it. Reaching the CAP doesn't mean every later charge disappears automatically.

Leases have their own fee: $50 for residential and $100 for commercial.

Refer a lease and the fee is $50; refer a sale and the Transaction fee for that transaction applies. None of these fees is the commission percentage you agree on for the referral.

This is about referring transactions. Referring agents to STEP is a different story, with its own program below.

No one should close their first deals alone. Mentorship helps you build judgment, organize your process and move through every stage of a transaction with confidence. If you're a new agent, it's required for your first two transactions of each type.

The split comes first, on the gross commission: 80% for you and 20% for your mentor. Applicable charges are deducted afterward. The split is separate from the Transaction fee.

Moving from residential to commercial is easier next to someone who has done it. Commercial mentorship gives you a practical foundation to handle these transactions with more judgment and confidence.

Here the commission varies by transaction: we agree on the split, charges and terms with you before you start. The residential 0.1% fee and 80/20 split don't apply as universal commercial terms.

Your network works for you too. Refer three agents who join STEP and stay active, and you can stop paying the monthly fee.

The benefit covers the $100 monthly fee. It doesn't remove registration, transaction charges, mentorship splits or other service fees. The team walks you through the activity requirements and when it starts.

Beyond the structure, you have five in-house services to fuel your growth and support the day-to-day of your business.

A service being available doesn't mean it's included in the monthly fee: some carry their own fee. Before you use one, we review with you what it covers, its availability, how to request it and its terms.

A structure to grow, mentorship and expert support, a studio to create content and offices to work from. All designed so you can organize and grow your business within the brokerage.

We're a family with a shared direction: growing together, with operations that keep getting better organized.
