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.

85/15 · $12K cap*

Commission Plan (Agent)

You keep 85% of every commission from your very first deal — no waiting period, no tiered ramp-up. Once your 15% contributions to Real add up to $12,000 in a year (as an independent agent or team lead), you stop paying the split entirely and keep 100% of your commission for the rest of that anniversary year. For a productive agent, that cap is often reached well before year-end — meaning a real stretch of months where every commission check is untouched.

$6K team cap*

Commission Plan (Teams)

Team members cap even faster — $6,000 for a standard team member, or just $4,000 on a qualifying platinum team — which matters most from a recruiting angle. When you're trying to convince an experienced agent to join your team instead of going independent, a lower personal cap is a concrete, provable number you can show them, not just a promise about culture or support.

Per-agent flexibility

ProTeams

As a team lead, you're not locked into one split for everyone on your roster. ProTeams lets you set an individual split, cap, and fee structure per team member — so a brand-new agent and a five-year producer on the same team can be on completely different arrangements, all tracked and reconciled automatically down to each closing, without you managing spreadsheets by hand.

Keep your brand

Private Label

This one's specifically for agents who've already built a name for themselves — an established independent brokerage or a well-known team brand. Private Label lets you keep your own name, logo, and client-facing identity exactly as-is, while compliance, compensation, and revenue share all run through Real behind the scenes. Your clients never see “Real” on a yard sign; you see it in your back-office numbers.
