For real estate teams

Real estate teams at AXEN Realty:Bring the team.
Keep the economics.

No split from your leader. No split from your agents. A flat fee on each closing that stops for the year. And whatever your team agreement says about splits is simply what happens.

01The deal

The short version.

Whatever your team agreement says about splits is simply what happens.

A team member's cap $6,000 $500 a closing. About 12 closings in, then $0 a file until their anniversary.
Under $2,500 of commission? Just 10% of it. Still counts toward the cap.
No split From the leader or the agents. Your team splits are yours.
Mega team plan $3,000 cap for teams of 5+ agents doing $50M a year.
$295 admin per sale, even after cap. Pays the coordinator.
$50/mo platform, per agent. Or $500 a year.

02The problem

A split charges the team twice.

Cut once on the way to the team. Cut again on the way to the agent. The leader builds the business, trains the people and carries the risk. The brokerage takes a share of work it did not do.

A split brokerage

The brokerage takes first

  • Its cut comes off the topBefore your team agreement pays anybody.
  • Your best year costs the mostA split is a percentage. Double the team’s production and you double what the brokerage takes, for the same service.
  • Reduced team caps come with gatesThe deepest cuts need volume or agent-count minimums. They can be lost in a slower year.

AXEN

You set the splits. We take none.

  • No split, from anyoneA flat $500 a closing that stops at the $6,000 cap.
  • Your splits run in the portalStored and applied to each closing. Not reconciled by hand.
  • The stack comes with itA coordinator on every file, paid from the admin fee, and nine tools. None of them an upsell.
Three more ways a split costs a teamThe leader buys the stack, keeps the books and pays for every seat.
  • Reduced team caps: most national brokerages do cut the cap for team members. The deepest reductions are earned with volume minimums, agent-count minimums, or both, and they can be lost in a slower year.
  • The leader buys the stack: coordination, a CRM, a site for each agent, training. Bought by the team, or billed to each agent as an upgrade.
  • Your splits live in a spreadsheet: the brokerage tracks its own cut. What your team owes each agent is yours to reconcile by hand.
  • Growth is a cost center: every agent you add is another seat to pay for before they close anything.

Named brokerages, priced on published plans with dates and sources, are on the full comparison. Team-specific caps are not published by those companies in anything primary, so this page describes the shape rather than quoting a figure we cannot source.

03What a team pays

The whole bill, on one screen.

There is no split to model, so this is all of it. Priced at the $6,000 cap a team member gets by default. Teams of 5+ agents doing $50M a year in volume qualify for the Mega team plan, which caps at $3,000 instead.

A 20% splitFile fees (capped)$295 admin feePlatform fee A split takes a percentage, so it rises with every closing. AXEN's line bends where the file fee caps. It still rises, because the admin fee is per file.

One agent, over a year, as they sell more

The dots sit at four closings, the example above.

A 20% splitAXEN, all in

Over a year at $9,000 a closing, one agent on a 20% split costs $21,600 at 12 closings, rising with every closing. The same agent at AXEN costs $10,140, because the file fee stops at the $6,000 cap.

A split takes a percentage, so it rises with every closing. AXEN’s line bends where the file fee caps. It still rises, because the admin fee is per file, and drawing it flat would overstate us.

Every fee ruleLeaders' plans, small deals, leases, referrals and the cap year.
  • A team member runs on the $6,000 cap, the same as Pro.
  • The Mega team plan at $3,000 is for teams of 5+ agents doing $50M a year in volume. It is not a plan a solo agent elects.
  • Leaders run on Pro ($500 a file, $6,000 cap) or Elite ($1,000 a file, $12,000 cap).
  • The fee drops on small deals: under $2,500 of commission, it is just 10% of the commission, and it still counts toward the cap.
  • Leases, rentals and referrals cost 10%, max $500 ($1,000 on Elite), and count toward the cap, plus a $50 admin fee that goes to the coordinator (not $295).
  • The cap runs from each agent’s own AXEN anniversary, not Jan 1.
  • The example above uses $600 a year for the platform fee.

Published plans, and they can change. See every AXEN pay plan.

05For the agents on the team

Nothing is held back from your people.

Team members are not a lesser tier. Your agent gets the same desk, the same tools and the same training as anyone else here.

Rev share of their ownFive levels.
  • Five levels, no quota to unlock a level. They can build alongside the team. Not a promise of income.

06Building beyond the team

Revenue share, five levels deep.

A team agreement pays you on your team’s production. Revenue share pays you on everyone you bring to AXEN, whether or not they ever join your team.

Not a promise of income. This is how revenue share is structured.

The ladder

  1. 1The CatalystYou just started
  2. 2The BuilderYou can duplicate
  3. 3The ArchitectYou create leaders
  4. 4The EmpireYou’re an organization
  5. 5The MultiverseYou’re a force multiplier
How it paysPer closing, every level.
  • $100 per closing per level when the agent is on Pro or Mega, $200 on Elite.
  • Paid only on closings that carry a file fee, so it stops once that agent caps.
  • Sales under $2,500 of commission pay 1/5 of their 10% fee per level.
  • Leases, rentals and referrals split their 10% fee evenly across the 5 levels.
  • Separate from whatever your team agreement pays you.
  • Qualifying teams can also apply for a joint venture. AXEN has no stock program.

This is how it is structured. It is not a promise of income. Open the calculator.

07Moving the team

Group transitions are the normal case.

Your agents, your listings and your pendings move together.

  1. 1 Everyone moves together

    Routine here, not an exception somebody improvises.

  2. 2 License and MLS

    We handle the transfer paperwork with each agent’s state. How a license transfer works.

  3. 3 Listings and pendings

    They transfer without interrupting a live deal. And a pending your old broker releases costs $0.

  4. 4 Live onboarding

    Four sessions in week one with a person on the other end, for each agent.

What stays yours, and what comes with you

Your brand stays yoursYou are not re-badged.
  • Your team keeps its name and identity. You are not re-badged.
Your database stays yoursIn tools you did not have to buy.
  • It moves into tools you did not have to buy, and it is still yours.
E&O from day oneFor every agent.
  • Coverage and legal protection on arrival, for every agent.
Credit for what you paidOn Elite.
  • On Elite, the reverse sign-on credits what you already paid toward your old cap this year.

08Questions team leaders ask

The answers, in full.

Tap a question to open it.

Can I bring my whole team to AXEN Realty?

Yes. Group transitions are normal here — your agents, your listings and your pendings move together, and your team keeps its own name and brand.

What does a team member pay at AXEN?

There is no commission split. A team member pays $500 per closing, which stops at $6,000 for the year — after that, file fees are $0 until their anniversary. Teams of 5 or more agents doing $50M a year in volume qualify for the Mega team plan, which caps at $3,000 instead at the same $500 a file. The $295 admin fee per file and the $50 a month platform fee apply either way.

How does a team qualify for the Mega team plan?

Teams of 5 or more agents producing $50M a year in volume qualify. The Mega plan caps a team member's closing fees at $3,000 for the year instead of $6,000, at the same $500 a file.

Who sets the splits between the team and its agents?

You do. AXEN does not take a split from anyone, so whatever your team agreement says is what happens. Your split schedule is stored in the portal and applied to each closing, rather than tracked in a spreadsheet outside the brokerage.

Does the team leader pay the same as the members?

The leader is on their own plan — Pro at $500 a file capped at $6,000, or Elite at $1,000 a file capped at $12,000, which adds the in-person masterminds and the reverse sign-on credit. The team plan is for the agents on the team.

Can a two-person partnership share one cap?

Yes. Partnership teams share a single cap and can see each other's numbers in the portal. Husband and wife teams work this way: one cap, and the spouse's only extra cost is the $50 a month platform fee (or $500 a year). See axenrealty.com/couples.

What happens to our pending deals when we move?

They transfer without interrupting a live deal. Pendings your old brokerage releases cost you $0 at AXEN — no file fee and no split on them.

Do my agents still get a transaction coordinator?

Every sale gets a named Deal Desk coordinator, for every agent on the team, paid out of the $295 admin fee on the file. Elsewhere, the team usually hires and pays its own.

Can we keep our team name and branding?

Yes. You are not re-badged. Your team keeps its identity, and your database stays yours.

Do team leaders earn revenue share on the agents they bring?

Yes — five levels deep, with no quota to unlock a level. It is $100 a level per closing on Pro or Mega and $200 on Elite, paid only while that agent is paying a file fee, and it is separate from whatever your team agreement pays you. It is not a promise of income.

Can a team have sub-teams under it?

Yes. A team can sit under another team in the portal, so a larger organization keeps its structure instead of flattening into one list.
