🏆 For Century 21 Agents

Add up every fee on your last
closing statement.
That number will make you angry.

The split is already bad at 70/30. But that's just the beginning. Century 21 agents also pay a 6–8% franchise fee on every transaction, $299–$399 per-transaction fees, monthly desk fees, E&O, printing, and tech fees. You're not keeping 70%. You're keeping far less.

The Full Fee Stack

What you're REALLY paying at Century 21

Estimated annual costs for a C21 agent closing 15 deals at an average of $9,000 commission per transaction ($135,000 GCI). Adjust to your actual production.

Fee Category How it's charged Est. Annual Cost
Broker split (30%) The "stated" 70/30 — before any other fees hit 30% of every transaction $40,500
Franchise fee (7%) ⚠️ Paid on top of your split — most agents underestimate this 6–8% per transaction $9,450
Per-transaction fee ($350) ⚠️ Another flat fee every single deal — adds up fast $299–$399 per closing $5,250
Desk & tech fees Monthly fees for using the office / tools ~$300/month $3,600
E&O insurance Errors & omissions — often charged per transaction or annually ~$50/mo or per deal $600
Printing, signage & marketing Office-required materials — not optional at many C21 offices ~$50/month estimated $600
Total annual cost of doing business at Century 21 $60,000

On $135,000 GCI, you're paying out ~44% in fees, splits, and charges before you keep a dollar.

And that's before the next deal has a per-transaction fee waiting on the other side.

Same 15 deals at eXp: $16,000 cap. $85/month tech fee. Zero franchise fee. Zero per-transaction fee.
That's roughly $18,000–$20,000+ back in your pocket on the same production.

Death By a Thousand Cuts

The costs most C21 agents never total up

Agents quote their split. They forget about the franchise fee. They forget the per-transaction fee. By the time they add it all up, the 70/30 they thought they had looks closer to a 56/44.

🏷️

The franchise fee nobody talks about

Century 21 charges a 6–8% franchise fee on every transaction — on top of your 30% broker split. That means on a $9,000 commission, you're losing another $630 just in franchise fees before you pocket anything.

$630 per $9K deal
💸

$350 per transaction — every single deal

Per-transaction fees are the silent killer. At $350/deal × 15 deals = $5,250/year in pure fees that have nothing to do with your split. At eXp: $0 per-transaction fees pre-cap, $250 post-cap (capped at $5K/year).

$5,250/yr on 15 deals
🔄

No cap = you pay forever

Many Century 21 offices don't operate on a cap model. That means the 70/30 split runs all year, every year — there's no point where you earn 100% of your commissions. At eXp, once you hit $16K you go to 100%.

Zero cap at many offices
🏢

Desk fees on top of everything else

Office space costs money. Most C21 agents pay $200–$500/month in desk and tech fees — that's $2,400–$6,000/year for the privilege of having a chair in an office you might visit twice a week. eXp: $85/month. Full stop.

$2,400–$6,000/yr

Questions C21 agents ask

Is the 7% franchise fee on top of the broker split, or included in it?
It's on top of — and it comes out of your share, not the broker's. So on a $9,000 commission, you first give 30% ($2,700) to the broker. Then Century 21's 7% franchise fee takes another $630 from your remaining $6,300. That's why your effective take-home split is closer to 63% than 70%. The calculator on this page pre-fills 63% to reflect this reality. eXp has zero franchise fees — none, ever.
Why is the per-transaction fee such a big deal?
Because it scales with production. If you're doing 15 deals/year at $350/deal, that's $5,250 gone before you see a dollar. At 25 deals/year it's $8,750. It's a fee that punishes success — the more you sell, the more you pay. eXp's post-cap transaction fee is capped at $5,000/year total. Pre-cap, there are no per-transaction fees.
My C21 office doesn't have a cap — what does that mean for me?
It means you pay the 70/30 split on every single dollar you earn, all year long. There's no point where the broker "backs off" and lets you keep everything. At eXp, once you pay in $16,000, you hit 100% for the rest of the year. For a top producer doing $500K+ GCI, that cap difference alone is worth $50,000+ annually. Run the calculator with $0 cap to see your exact number.
Will I lose my clients, brand recognition, or team if I switch?
Your clients are yours — always have been. The "Century 21 brand" helps with name recognition, but most buyers and sellers choose their agent, not the sign on the door. Many top producers leave recognized franchises every year and don't lose a single client. Transitions typically take 2–4 weeks. Your relationships, your sphere, and your reputation come with you.
eXp is cloud-based. I'm used to having an office — what changes?
You lose the physical desk. You gain $200–$500/month back. eXp has partnerships with Regus and WeWork for client meetings globally. Most agents who worried about this realize within 90 days that they were paying $3,600–$6,000/year for something they used less than 10 hours a week. The cloud tools (eXp World, Slack and eXp's built-in collaboration platform) fill the gaps quickly.
What exactly is revenue share at eXp — is it like C21's model?
Century 21 doesn't have a revenue share model. This is entirely new for C21 agents. Revenue share at eXp means you earn passive income when agents you introduce to eXp close transactions. It's structured across 7 tiers, calculated on gross GCI (not profits), and paid monthly. If you introduce even 3–5 productive agents, you could earn $5,000–$15,000/year in passive income. AgentMagnet builds that downline for you — you don't have to recruit anyone yourself.
How does AgentMagnet build my revenue share line without me doing anything?
AgentMagnet runs an AI-powered outreach system that identifies agents at C21, KW, RE/MAX, and Coldwell Banker, educates them on the eXp model via automated email sequences, and funnels qualified agents into your downline. You don't cold call anyone. You don't run ads. You don't host webinars. We handle everything from identification to onboarding — and those agents get placed under your sponsorship. No other eXp sponsor does this at scale.
