Thinking About Switching Brokerages? Here Is What 100% Commission Actually Looks Like.
If you are an experienced Florida agent producing at a 70/30, 80/20, or even a capped split, the math at Agent Plus Realty is simple: 100% on residential sales, 80% on commercial and leases. The $595 transaction fee is charged to the client at closing. Your pending deals transition smoothly. The DBPR transfer takes 1–3 business days.
Switching brokerages feels like a big decision. But when you run the numbers, it is often the simplest one you will make all year.
If you are currently at a franchise brokerage paying 70/30, 80/20, or even a capped split plus monthly fees, desk fees, technology fees, and franchise royalties — you are paying thousands of dollars per year for a brand name that your clients did not hire. They hired you.
At Agent Plus Realty:
- You keep 100% on residential sales, 80% on commercial & leases
- The $595 transaction fee is charged to the client at closing
- $0 monthly fees, desk fees, technology fees, franchise fees
- Pending deals transition smoothly via cooperative agreement
- DBPR transfer typically takes 1–3 business days
The Question Is Not “Should I Switch?” — It Is “How Much Am I Losing by Staying?”
Every month you stay at a split-based brokerage, you are writing a check for the privilege of using their name. At Agent Plus Realty, your money stays in your pocket and your clients stay with you.

The Real Cost of Staying at a Split Brokerage
Consider an agent closing 12 transactions per year at an average gross commission of $10,000:
- 70/30 split + $500/month fees: You keep $78,000. Brokerage takes $42,000 in splits + $6,000 in fees = $48,000 gone.
- Agent Plus Realty: You keep $120,000 on residential sales. The $595 fee is charged to the client. $0 in monthly fees.
The difference is $42,000+ per year. Over 5 years, that is more than $200,000 you keep instead of handing to a brokerage.
What the Switching Process Actually Looks Like
Day 1: Apply online. Takes about 10 minutes. No obligation.
Day 2–3: Application reviewed. If approved, we submit your DBPR transfer.
Day 3–5: DBPR transfer confirmed. Dotloop activated. MLS access transitioned.
Day 5+: You are live at Agent Plus Realty, keeping 100% on residential sales, with pending deals continuing through cooperative agreement.
