The income plan · 8 ways to earn
Every path stacks on top of the last
Commission split & cap
85/15 split*Keep 85% of every commission from day one — no franchise royalty stacked on top. Once you hit your annual cap, you keep 100% for the rest of your cycle, with $0 monthly fee along the way.
| Agent type | Annual cap |
|---|---|
| Independent agent or Team Lead | $12,000 |
| Standard team member | $6,000 |
| Platinum team member | $4,000 |
Revenue share
5-tier network*Sponsor agents into Real and earn a share of what they pay the brokerage — across up to five tiers deep, paying more in the earlier tiers than most brokerages.
| Tier | Share | Max / capping agent / yr |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 5% | $4,000 |
| Tier 2 | 4% | $3,200 |
| Tier 3 | 3% | $2,400 |

Capping stock award
Up to 15 shares*The moment you hit your cap, Real automatically awards you stock — no extra paperwork or separate application required.
| Agent type | Shares | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Individual agent, Team Lead, or $12K team member | 15 | $12K |
| $6K team member | 7 | $6K |
| $4K team member | 5 | $4K |
Attraction award
Up to 7 shares*Personally attract a producing agent and you're awarded stock when their first qualified deal closes.
| Agent type | Shares | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Individual agent, Team Lead, or $12K team member | 7 | $12K |
| $6K team member | 3 | $6K |
| $4K team member | 2 | $4K |
Stock purchase plan
5%→10% · 10%→15%*Before you cap, direct 5% of each commission into REAX stock and Real adds a 10% bonus in shares on top — at no extra cost to you. After you cap, your contribution rate increases to 10% of commission, and the bonus steps up to 15% in additional shares, so equity builds faster in the second half of your year.
Elite Agent Award
$12,000 RSUs*Top producers unlock up to $12,000 in additional RSUs for hitting elite production thresholds, plus a reduced $129 post-cap transaction fee for the rest of the year.
Elite Agent Cultural Award
$8,000 RSUs*A separate $8,000 in RSUs for agents who give back to the Real community — teaching classes, mentoring, or staying active — layered on top of production-based Elite Agent stock.
Build your own team
Your termsRecruit and build your own team through ProTeams, and set each team member's split, cap, and fees your way — while every revenue share, stock, and cap tier above still applies to you personally. More producers under your umbrella means more capping agents in your own Tier 1, which means more revenue share flowing back to you — your team's growth directly compounds your own.

Seven reasons, side by side
Pick a pillar
Each one covers a different part of what joining Real actually means for your business.
Culture
Real's business model runs on collaboration, not competition — agents are financially motivated to help each other grow, not guard their turf. That single design choice shapes almost everything else about the day-to-day experience: how quickly a new agent gets help from a veteran, how openly people share what's working in their market, and how connected you feel even without a physical office to walk into.
See the full Culture page →Splits
The foundation: how you and your team actually get paid, structured to scale from solo agent to independent brokerage. This is the part most agents research first, and it's also the part that's easiest to misjudge if you're only comparing headline split percentages — the cap, the team structure, and what happens to your brand all matter just as much as the 85/15 number.
See the full Splits page →Bonuses
Every commission check is also a chance to build equity — before you cap, after you cap, and at every production milestone above that. None of this requires you to do anything differently in your day-to-day business; the same production that pays your bills is quietly building a stock position and RSU awards in the background, on top of the check itself.
See the full Bonuses page →Legacy
The programs that turn a good year into income that keeps paying — for you, your family, or both. This is the pillar most agents underweight when comparing brokerages, because none of it shows up on a first-year commission statement — its value only becomes obvious five, ten, or twenty years in.
See the full Legacy page →Support
A cloud brokerage doesn't mean you're on your own — training, brokers, and marketing are all built into the platform. The tradeoff agents worry about most when leaving a traditional office is losing that built-in support system; Real's answer is to make each piece of it available on-demand instead of tied to a physical location.
See the full Support page →Tech
Built in-house, not bolted on — the transaction platform, the AI, and the banking all live in one place. That matters more than it sounds: tools stitched together from different vendors tend to break at the handoffs — a transaction system that doesn't talk to your banking, a CRM that doesn't know your commission structure. Real built these to work as one system from the start.
See the full Tech page →Community
Everything around the transaction — financing, closing, community, and a safety net when life happens. A real estate deal touches a lot more than just the sale; having the mortgage, title, and escrow pieces inside the same ecosystem as your transaction management means fewer handoffs and fewer places for a deal to get delayed.
