Compare your costs
What does your brokerage really cost?
Enter what you pay today. Blank fields use clearly stated assumptions for typical brokerage costs—not a measured industry average or your actual charges.
Team leaders: make savings scale with your business
A lower brokerage expense per agent can make a bigger difference as your team grows. Compare Real’s $6,000 team-member cap and the subscriptions you cover across your roster. Less overhead can leave more for hiring, marketing and support; when your team agreement allocates a share of post-brokerage income to you, lower agent costs can also increase your leader income at the same production.
Savings improve retained income—they do not create additional sales revenue. The calculator separates leader income, agent income and combined team results, and labels the $30-per-agent monthly Real CRM estimate.
No figures entered: these results use assumed typical brokerage costs and production ($100,000 GCI, 10 closings and a 70/30 current split), not a verified industry average or your actual costs.

This simplified illustration does not determine Real tiers or unlock eligibility. Directly sponsored agents remain Tier 1; deeper tiers depend on who sponsors whom, not the order agents are counted. These dollar bands are scenario assumptions, not promised payments. Actual income depends on qualifying production, caps, current program rules and payment eligibility. Revenue share is paid by Real, separate from brokerage savings and team allocations; current-brokerage revenue share is not compared.

Turn production into ownership opportunities
Real’s optional Stock Purchase Plan adds bonus shares to your contributions: 10% before capping and 15% after capping. Beyond purchased shares, Real offers capping, attraction and Elite awards—six equity pathways in its current program.
Stock Purchase Plan shares and bonuses have a one-year vesting period; capping, attraction and Elite awards have a three-year vesting period. Eligibility and continued good standing apply; stock value can rise or fall.
Real’s equity programsYour network can become another income path
Help agents discover Real and participate in the brokerage revenue they generate. Real’s five-tier model uses potential rates of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2% and 1% of qualifying agent GCI, giving collaboration a financial dimension beyond your own closings.
Revenue share comes from Real’s split on qualifying, uncapped production—not an extra fee charged to the agent. Tier access, program limits and monthly adjustments apply; U.S. payments require Real Wallet Business Checking. It is an opportunity, not guaranteed income, and is excluded from the cost calculator.
