Where the difference comes from
Additional income at Real your current brokerage doesn't offer
Elite and Cultural stock awards (REAX)
Under the new policy, qualifying Elite agents receive a $12,000 USD Production Award in the US or a $15,000 CAD Production Award in Canada. The separate $8,000 Cultural Award requires Elite status and approved cultural contributions. Elite status requires either the post-cap-fee route or the $500K GCI and 10 qualifying $1M+ transaction route. RSUs vest over 3 years. This US fee calculator does not add stock awards automatically.
Revenue share — recurring income from your network
When agents you attract to Real close deals, you earn a percentage of the brokerage's portion — across 5 tiers, willable to your heirs. Many agents build $5K–$50K+/year in recurring revenue share income.
Compare your full picture
Your total annual benefit at Real is shown as fee savings plus a revenue share range. Stock awards are explained above but are not included because they require separate qualification criteria.
Stock awards require separate qualification and vest over 3 years. Revenue share varies by network size and activity. These are illustrative ranges, not guarantees.Award details · Revenue share model
GCI is calculated as total annual sales × commission rate. This is a gross figure before any splits or fees.
Estimated transaction count is calculated from your total sales volume divided by the average sale price you set above (default $400,000). Adjust both fields to match your market.
Real Brokerage fees used in this estimate: No monthly fees. 85/15 split. $12K cap. $50 CBR (Compliance & Broker Review) fee on every transaction. $285 post-cap transaction fee. $900 annual brokerage fee ($300 across first 3 transactions per anniversary year).
Brokerage presets are mid-range estimates based on publicly available information and the compare pages on this site. Actual fees vary by market, office, and negotiation. Edit any field to match your actual numbers.
This estimate does not include: E&O insurance, technology platform fees, MLS/board dues, franchise royalties (unless included in the preset), or team/reduced-cap arrangements. Real offers team and reduced-cap plans that may differ from these defaults.

Some agents at Real also build additional income over time — not by recruiting, but by being the kind of agent other agents want to work with. See how that side of the model works.

Brokerage preset sources
Preset values are derived from publicly available information and the comparison pages on this site. Fee structures vary by market, office, and individual negotiation — particularly at franchise brokerages where splits and caps are set at the local level. The presets represent reasonable mid-range estimates for a self-generating agent. Edit any field to match your actual agreement.
What this calculator does not include
This estimate does not account for E&O insurance, MLS and board dues, technology platform fees, franchise royalties (unless included in the preset), or team/reduced-cap arrangements. Agents on team plans at Real may have different fee structures. A conversation with your sponsor will give you a complete picture of your specific situation.
There's a second number worth understanding.
The calculator shows what you keep from your own production. At Real, some agents build a second income stream over time through revenue share — not by managing agents, but by being helpful and well-connected. It's not for everyone, but it's worth knowing how it works.
