Real Estate Commission Calculator: What Is Your Brokerage Really Costing You?
Rise Realty is a cloud-based, 100% commission real estate brokerage for North Texas agents, with flat per-transaction fees and no monthly or yearly fees. Use this free calculator to compare what you pay your current brokerage in a year, including split, cap, royalty, monthly and annual fees and any fees your clients pay at closing, with what you would pay at Rise Realty.

RISE 100 is for everyone, with no quota. If you close 10 or more sales a year you can choose PREMIER. New agents start on MENTOR, brokers with 12 or more sales can join BROKER ASSOCIATES, and teams of 3 or more can join TEAMS.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cloud-based real estate brokerage?
A cloud-based brokerage runs online instead of out of a traditional branch office. You meet clients at the property, at their kitchen table or on video, and you get broker support, training and transaction help through online tools and by phone. Without office leases to cover, we can charge a flat fee per closing instead of taking a split of your commission. Rise Realty is a cloud-based brokerage serving agents across North Texas.
What does 100% commission mean at Rise Realty?
You keep your commission instead of splitting it with the brokerage. In place of a split, you pay one flat fee per side when the deal closes: $199 to $999 on RISE 100 depending on sale price, or $595 on PREMIER. The fee comes out of your commission at closing, so it doesn't add a charge for your buyer or seller.
Does Rise Realty charge monthly or yearly fees?
No. There are no monthly or yearly brokerage fees on any program and no cap that resets. You pay when you close, so a slow month doesn't cost you anything. The Lofty AI operating system is an optional add-on, available for a small fee through the brokerage.
Does Rise Realty charge my clients a fee?
No. Rise Realty never passes brokerage fees to buyers or sellers. The flat fee comes out of your commission at closing, so nothing extra shows up on your clients' settlement statement. The same is true of the optional Lofty fee.
What is a brokerage cap, and why does it matter when it resets?
A cap is the most you pay your brokerage in split during your plan year. Many caps reset every year on your anniversary date, and right after a reset you pay the full split again on every deal until you reach the cap. Rise Realty has no cap to reset because you pay the same flat fee per closing all year.
Which program should I choose?
RISE 100 is for everyone, with no sales quota, and it's the program most of our agents choose. If you close 10 or more sales in a 12-month period, you can choose PREMIER and pay a flat $595 per side. New agents start with MENTOR, brokers with 12 or more sales can join BROKER ASSOCIATES at $495 per side, and teams of 3 or more agents can join TEAMS at $495 per side once the team has 12 or more sales in 12 months.
How accurate is the commission calculator?
The calculator uses only the numbers you enter for your current brokerage and Rise Realty's published fee schedules for residential sales. It assumes each closing is one side at your average price. Your actual costs depend on your agreement, so check it against your own numbers.
How do I switch brokerages in Texas?
You ask for the sponsorship change online through TREC's REALM portal, and your license number stays the same. Our license transfer guide walks through it step by step. Call us before you start and we'll help you time the move around your pending deals.
