What does your brokerage really cost?

The Problem

Most agents compare brokerages using incomplete math.

You're sold on the split. Then the transaction fees appear at closing. The CRM isn't included. The website is extra. The royalty never caps. By the time the full picture assembles itself, you've already signed.

Brokerage pricing isn't a number — it's a scattered set of fragments that only make sense when you put them together.

The True Cost Reveal

Your brokerage cost is a system, not a single number.

Split. Cap. Royalty. Monthly fee. Transaction fee. E&O. Then everything the brokerage doesn't include — the website, the CRM, the lead gen — lands on your card instead. Total cost architecture is the only honest way to compare.

Brokerage Worlds

Every model is a different universe. Enter each one.

Capped splits, desk fees, royalties, flat fees, 100% models — each with its own physics. Not all splits are created equal.

05
Rankings

A lower fee doesn't always mean a lower cost.

Rankings shift with production. The cheapest brokerage for a new agent can be the most expensive for a rainmaker. Slide the scenario and watch the leaderboard reorder itself.

What the included stack replaces

Market prices for equivalent standalone tools. If a brokerage includes them, that spend disappears from your P&L.

06
Value Offsets

Compare what you pay — and what you get.

A brokerage that costs $4,000 more but replaces $6,000 in software is cheaper. Our engine nets included value against every cost, so apples and oranges finally compare.
