01The problem

Why does a split cost a team more? It charges the team twice.

Cut once on the way to the team, then again on the way to the agent. You do the work. The split takes a share of it.

A split brokerage

The brokerage takes first

  • Its cut comes off the topBefore your team agreement pays anyone.
  • Your best year costs the mostDouble the deals, double the cut.

AXEN

A flat fee. Then your splits.

  • No split, from anyoneA flat fee that stops at the cap.
  • The stack comes with itA coordinator on every file. Nine tools.
More ways a split costs a teamGated team caps, the stack, the books, every seat.
  • Reduced team caps come with gates. 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.

02What a team pays

What does a team pay at AXEN? The whole bill, on one screen.

No split to model, so this is the whole bill.

$3,000Mega team plan cap, for teams of 5+ agents doing $50M a year.

Example: 6 agents × 4 closings at $9,000

No split on any of it. Your team’s splits never touch this.

Every fee ruleMega plan, leaders, small deals, leases, referrals.
  • A team member runs on the $6,000 cap, the same as Pro.
  • The Mega team plan caps at $3,000: half the cap, at the same $500 a file. It 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 $295 admin fee pays the agent’s Deal Desk coordinator and the state broker’s review. Many agents pass it to the client.
  • The platform fee covers the CRM, the IDX site, SkySlope and the AI studio: the whole toolkit.
  • The example above uses $600 a year for the platform fee.

03For the leader and the team

Run the team inside the brokerage.

Splits, onboarding, recruiting and the books. All in the portal.

Your roster

Every agent, every cap, live

Cap progress for each agent. No asking accounting.

The Deal Desk

A coordinator on every file

  1. 1Contract in
  2. 2Coordinator named
  3. 3Escrow + title
  4. 4Deadlines tracked
  5. 5Broker review
  6. 6Paid at closing

Named on every sale. Paid from the admin fee.

Six more leader toolsSplits, packet, recruiting page, ledger, sub-teams, plus lender, title and warranty defaults your client never has to use.
  • Your team’s splits live in the portal and are applied to each closing, by role and by category, instead of being reconciled by hand afterwards.
  • Agents joining your team sign your packet, on your template, instead of a generic one.
  • Publish the offer your team makes (headline, promise, what you add) as its own page.
  • What the team is owed and what it has paid out, kept with the closings rather than away from them.
  • A team can sit under another team, so a larger organization keeps its shape.
  • Set the team’s defaults once. Your client is never required to use any of them.
  • Two-person partnerships see each other’s numbers.
Your agents get it allSame desk, same nine tools, same training as any AXEN agent. Not a lesser tier.
  • A Deal Desk coordinator on every sale, and the same training as any AXEN agent.
  • Their cap is $6,000: $500 a file for about 12 closings, then $0 for the rest of their year.
  • No separate technology bill, and nothing held back for a higher tier.
  • A broker in their state: named, licensed and reachable for contract questions. Not a ticket queue.
  • Their leads stay theirs. Always. What they bring is theirs, and so is what they build.
  • Rev share of their own: five levels, no quota to unlock a level. They can build alongside the team. Not a promise of income.
Revenue share, five levels deep$100 a closing per level, $200 on Elite. No quota. Not a promise of income.

Your team agreement pays you on your team. Rev share pays on everyone you bring to AXEN. This is how it is structured. Open the calculator.

How it pays

  • $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.

The ladder: five ranks

  1. 1. The Catalyst: you just started
  2. 2. The Builder: you can duplicate
  3. 3. The Architect: you create leaders
  4. 4. The Empire: you’re an organization
  5. 5. The Multiverse: you’re a force multiplier
Husband & wife? One cap. Two-person partnerships share one cap. The spouse adds just $50 a month.

04Moving the team

Can the whole team move at once? Group transitions are the normal case.

  1. 1 Everyone moves together

    Agents, listings and pendings. Routine here.

  2. 2 License and MLS

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

  3. 3 Listings and pendings

    No live deal is interrupted. A pending your old broker releases costs $0.

  4. 4 Live onboarding

    Four live sessions in week one, per agent.

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

05Questions team leaders ask

The answers, in full.

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.
