Multiple Ways to Earn Income at REAL
★ Great splits, low caps, and no monthly fees
★ 10 different ways to earn income
1) Agent Commissions
At REAL, agents enjoy a 85%/15% split with a $12,000 cap. Once the cap is reached, agents receive 100% of their commissions. After capping, agents pay a low $285 per transaction fee. REAL is a model based around production so if you aren’t producing, you aren’t paying. There are also no monthly fees. Check out our page on REAL Broker Fees Breakdown for more detailed info.
2) Stock Purchase Plan
Pre-Cap purchase plan
As the fastest growing publicly traded real estate company in the world, the various stock plans and awards that REAL offers are an exciting way to build more ownership in the company.
Before capping, on each transaction, agents have the ability to opt-in to the Real Broker Stock Purchase Plan. This optional plan will take 5% of the commission on each transaction and apply it towards the purchase of REAL Broker stock. In addition to the 5%, agents will receive a 10% bonus in free stock.
3) Stock Purchase Plan
Post-Cap Purchase Plan
Another way for REAL Agents to develop an even deeper equity stake in the company is through the Post-Cap Stock Purchase Plan.
Agents that continue to opt-in to the Stock Purchase Plan after capping, can continue to apply a portion of their commission to purchase company stock.
After capping, agents can apply 10% of their commission to purchase stock and receive a 20% bonus in free stock.
4) Stock Awards
Being part of a growing publicly traded company holds many exciting opportunities as each agent shares a stake in the company and all benefit as the company continues to grow.
150 free shares of stock when agents cap. (Agents on a team on a half-cap receive 75 shares of stock)
*** These numbers are subject to change as the company grows and the value of the stock increases over time.
5) Elite Agent
Production Award
After capping, REAL agents that pay an additional $6,000 in transaction fees (or hit $500k GCI) within an anniversary year will achieve Elite Agent status. For most agents this is generally between 25-30 transactions.
Upon hitting Elite Agent status, REAL Broker awards agents with $16,000 in company stock!
6) Elite Agent
Cultural Award
Agents that hit Elite status are also eligible for the Cultural Agent Award of $8,000 in additional company stock. This award is given to agents that are willing to teach monthly in the REAL Academy, or to give back to the community in some way.
Most Elite Agents receive this award which brings the total stock reward for hitting Elite to $24,000. After calculating the various fees paid, most agents will actually be net positive roughly $3,000 after hitting Elite.
There is no other Brokerage we know of that will PAY YOU to be part of their company.
7) Attraction Stock Award
When you directly sponsor another agent to join REAL, you will automatically receive free stock in the company.
Agents that sponsor another agent into the company will receive 75 shares of stock. (Agents on a team on a half-cap will receive 35 shares of stock)
8) Revenue Share
REAL Broker does not spend millions of dollars on national marking like many Brokerages do. Instead, they reward their agents for helping to grow the company.
When an agent invites another agent to join the company and becomes their sponsor, REAL generously pays out a portion of sponsored agent’s commission in the form of revenue share to the sponsoring agent. The revenue share program has 5 tiers and pays 5% on the first tier, 4% on the 2nd tier, etc.
For example, If an agent sponsors another agent into the company, and that agent caps that year, the sponsoring agent will receive $4,000.
Revenue share can be a very lucrative source of additional income for many agents. Check out our REAL Broker Revenue Share Breakdown for more detail.
9) Mentor Program
Agents interested in coaching new agents, or agents that need to brush up on their skills, can make additional income by being a REAL Broker Mentor.
Mentors typically assist agents through 3 transactions and can share up to 50% of the commission as they help guide mentees through the transaction.
The Mentor Program can also be used as a coaching program. Agents that have specialized skills and want to coach agents in various specialties have a great platform inside of REAL to share those skills and get paid for doing it.
10) ONE REAL MORTGAGE
The Originate Program at One REAL Mortgage provides a unique opportunity for agents to make additional income while helping their clients in the process.
Under the program, real estate agents can receive their loan officer license and conduct in-house referrals to loan officers inside of One REAL Mortgage and receive commissions when loans are closed. This gives agents the opportunity to earn commissions on the loan (typically between 50-75 basis points) while taking the work of originating the loan or processing application of their plate.
In most states, you can be the Loan Officer of record and the real estate agent on the same transaction which can provide a streamlined experience for your clients.
