RE/MAX fees for agents: split, cap and every fee
RE/MAX is a franchise of independently owned offices, so each office sets its own split, fees and any desk fee. RE/MAX became part of Real Brokerage in August 2026 (Real REMAX Group). Because RE/MAX publishes no company-wide schedule, ask your office for every fee in writing.

RE/MAX head to head
Where AXEN fits
No commission split. You keep 100% and pay a flat fee per closing.
AXEN charges a flat fee per closing ($500 on the Pro plan; less on smaller deals) that caps at $6,000 a year, or $12,000 on the Elite plan, plus a $295 per-file admin fee and a $50 a month platform fee. A transaction coordinator is included on every file.
AXEN is not the cheapest on fees alone for every agent, and we say so in the math. Revenue share and equity depend on plan and participation. Earnings examples are illustrations, not guarantees.
