The broker who built
what she always wanted.
Amber Ludwinek has been one of the Katy and Houston market's top-producing agents since 2016. She was good at her job — really good. But year after year, she watched a significant percentage of every commission she earned walk out the door to a brokerage that wasn't giving her much in return.
"I did the work, I earned the commission, and I watched my brokerage take a cut of every deal. When I built this brokerage, I built the one I always wished I had."— Amber Ludwinek, Broker/Owner
When Amber founded Realty ONE Group Optima, she made a decision that would define everything about the brokerage: agents keep 100% of what they earn. Full stop. No percentages, no splits, no complicated tiers. Just flat fees and a cap that rewards production.
But the commission model isn't what agents talk about most after joining. What they talk about is Amber herself. Her phone number goes directly to her. When you have a difficult situation — a deal going sideways, a client getting cold feet, a contract you're not sure about — you text Amber. She picks up.
Amber built this brokerage where agents are partners, not producers. The culture reflects that — in how agents support each other, in how training is conducted, and in how Amber shows up every single day for the people who trust her with their careers.
