The Commission Model

The commission you earn
is yours. All of it.

No splits. No percentages. At Realty ONE Group Optima, you pay a flat fee per transaction instead of giving away a cut of every commission — and once you hit your annual cap, that fee drops dramatically.

How It Works

Simple, transparent,
and built for
producers.

Most brokerages take a percentage of every commission you earn. If you closed $200,000 in GCI at a 70/30 brokerage, you handed $60,000 to your broker — for what, exactly?

With us, you pay a flat per-transaction rate instead. The math is completely different — and almost always in your favor.

Run Your Numbers
01

You close a deal

You earn 100% of your commission. No percentage is deducted. The full amount is yours.

02

You pay a per transaction rate based on sales price

Starting at $500 for homes up to $200K, scaling in $200 increments per additional $200K. Plus $100/month office investment and $125/quarter E&O insurance. No percentage of your commission — ever.

03

You hit your annual cap

Once your transaction fees total $14,000 for the year, your per-deal cost drops to just $195 — for every transaction the rest of the year.

04

New year, reset

Your cap resets annually. Most active agents hit the cap within the first half of the year.

Transaction fees count toward your $14,000 annual cap. Once reached, every deal is $195. Above $1M, fees continue to scale — ask Amber for the full schedule.

The Annual Cap

The more you produce,
the less you pay.

Once your transaction fees hit $14,000 for the year, every remaining deal is just $195. For a busy agent, that means most of the year you're paying almost nothing per deal — while keeping 100% of every commission.
