Commission splits are one of the most misunderstood parts of real estate. They sound simple—just a percentage—but they hide layers of fees, caps, and conditions that can eat away at your income. If you’ve ever wondered why your paycheck feels smaller than expected, this post is for you.
The Traditional Split Problem
Most brokerages start with a 50/50 or 60/40 split, then layer on desk fees, tech fees, franchise fees, and E&O charges. Even when you “graduate” to a better split, you’re often capped by annual thresholds or required to pay monthly overhead. The result? You work harder, but your net doesn’t grow as fast as it should.
Why Splits Matter More Than You Think
Your split determines how much of your effort translates into income. A 70/30 split sounds generous—until you add $300 monthly fees and $75 per transaction for E&O. Over 20 deals, that’s thousands gone. The math matters, and transparency matters even more.
NRG’s Model: Keep More, Stress Less
At National Realty Group, we believe agents should keep more of what they earn. Our model is simple: competitive splits with no hidden fees and free E&O for your first year. No monthly desk charges. No surprise tech fees. Just a clear structure that rewards production and protects your bottom line.
What This Means for You
- Predictable Costs: You know exactly what you’ll pay—no fine print.
- Higher Net Income: More of your commission stays in your pocket.
- Confidence to Scale: Free E&O in year one means less overhead while you grow.
- Support Without Sacrifice: You still get tools, marketing help, and broker access without paying extra.
The Bottom Line
Commission splits aren’t just numbers—they’re the foundation of your business. If your current model feels complicated or costly, it’s time to explore a structure that works for you. At NRG, we keep it simple: fair splits, zero hidden fees, and real support.
