What you'll make here
No caps here, so the money stays invested in training, leads and the people behind you.
The plans
Every plan, side by side
Pick the plan that fits where you are. Every plan is set in writing when you join.
| Plan | Who it's for | Your own leads | Office or team leads | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional agent | A licensed agent running their own book. | 80 / 20 | 50 / 50 | Office lead flow is opt-in. Take it and an office-sourced closing is 50/50; skip it and nothing changes on your own deals. |
| New to the industry | Newly licensed, first brokerage. | 50 / 50 for your first five closed deals | 50 / 50 | We put real hours into a new agent's first deals. After 5 closings you move to the traditional plan. |
| Team agent | An agent on one of our teams, with a team lead coaching them. | 70 / 30 | 50 / 50 | Team- or office-generated leads are 50/50. The team lead and the office share the other side. |
| Team leader | A producer who builds and coaches a team. | Your own plan | Plus a share of the office side on every deal your team closes | You keep producing on your own plan and earn on the team you build. |
| Branch broker | A broker who leads one of our offices. | Your own plan | Plus the branch role, which stacks with team lead and agent | The right person can be branch broker, team lead and agent at the same time. |
Splits read as your share, then the brokerage's share.
Lead flow
How lead flow works
Office lead flow is opt-in. Take it when you want more business, and leave it when you do not.
Lead flow is 30% per closed office lead, on top of the base. That is what makes an office deal 50/50.
Deals you bring in yourself stay on your own split.
What you don't pay
No caps. Ever.
Most brokerages cap what they take so the math works for them. We choose not to, so the money stays invested in you: training, leads, a full back office, and people who answer the phone. We are partners, not landlords.
-
No cap
Your split stays your split on every deal, all year.
-
Your own home
Sell or buy your own home and you keep the commission; a $300 compliance fee covers the file.
A worked example
One sale, three plans
Take a $300,000 sale at 3% on your side. That side is $9,000 before the split.
Traditional agent. On your own lead you keep $7,200. On an office lead you keep $4,500.
New to the industry. For your first five closed deals you keep $4,500. After that you move to the traditional plan and keep $7,200 on your own leads.
Team agent. On a lead you bring in you keep $6,300. On a team or office lead you keep $4,500.
Three quick answers
The questions agents ask first
- Is there a cap?
- No. Most brokerages cap; Homestead & Co chooses not to, so it can keep investing in its agents.
- What split do new agents get?
- New to the industry: 50/50 for the first five deals, then 80/20.
- How does lead flow work?
- Participation in office lead flow is 30% per closed deal on top of the base, which is what makes an office-lead deal 50/50.
