Where Do I Take my Classes?

What is the Commission Split?
ALL Agents are on a 70/30 split until they reach the $18,000 company dollar cap. Additionally, royalty fees are paid on a 4% basis in 2011, and 6% for 2012 and beyond. Royalty fees are capped at $3,000 per year. Please ask the Team Leader for more details.

What ongoing costs are incurred?
Monthly fees run about $70.00. Office space is additional, but bullpen cubicles can be used for free as can the computers in the resource center. MLS and Supra Fees are not included in this figure because those are charged directly from HAR.

Are there any per transaction costs?
Yes - a $10 Associate Advertising Fee (for office-wide advertising) and E&O Insurance (if you're not paying on an annual basis).

Are any of my costs 'capped'?
Both your company split ($18,000) and Royalty Fees ($3,000) are capped on an annualized basis. So for example, on a $100,000 deal at 3% - $3,000 Commission is split like so: $120 Royalty, $864 Company Dollar, and $2,016 to the Agent. After reaching your cap, 100% goes to the Agent. If you fail to cap on a given year, you do NOT have to pay the difference at the end of the year. You start over with a clean slate on your anniversary date.

Does Keller Wiliams have an Open Book policy?
Keller Williams Realty places a premium on trust – we are an “open books” company. We allow associates access to their market center’s financials so they can see firsthand how the company is performing. It is a system where brokers and agents are partners in the profits and everyone works toward maximizing financial success. Naturally, when associates share in the company’s profits and learn firsthand how the company is performing, a mutual alliance forms that supports success for both the associate and the broker.
