100% commission applies to eligible residential sales. Commercial transactions and leases are paid at an 80/20 split. The standard residential transaction fee is $595 per side and is typically charged to the client on the closing statement where permitted, agreed, and applicable. Compensation, fees, eligibility, and payment responsibility are governed by the Independent Contractor Agreement and applicable transaction documents.
Newer agents may be subject to mentorship requirements. When mentorship applies, the mentorship fee is 20% of the commission.
Brokerage MLS participation is available through the MLS systems listed. Individual MLS, board, association, eKey/lockbox, data-access, and related third-party fees may be separate unless otherwise stated in writing.
If you lead a real estate team in Florida — or you are an out-of-state agent looking for a trusted Florida referral partner — the brokerage you operate under directly impacts your bottom line. Franchise brokerages layer royalties, technology fees, and desk fees on top of every agent on the team. Those costs add up fast when you are paying for 5, 10, or 20 agents.
At Agent Plus Realty, every team member may keep up to 100% on eligible residential sales and 80% on commercial and leases. There are no franchise royalties, no per-agent desk fees, and no required technology fees for standard included tools. Team leaders manage their own internal splits — the brokerage does not take an additional cut beyond the $595 transaction fee typically charged to the client on the closing statement where permitted, agreed, and applicable.
Why Teams Choose Agent Plus Realty
The math is straightforward. A 5-person team closing 50 residential transactions per year at an average commission of $10,000 generates $500,000 in gross commission income. Here is what the team keeps under different models:
- Franchise brokerage (75/25 split + $500/month per agent): Team keeps $375,000 minus $30,000 in desk fees = $345,000
- Capped brokerage (80/20 + $20K cap per agent): Team keeps approximately $400,000
- Agent Plus Realty (100% + $595-per-side fee*): Team keeps $500,000
That is a $155,000 difference per year compared to a franchise model — money that stays within the team to reinvest in marketing, leads, and growth.
