🏆 For RE/MAX Agents

Your 95/5 split looks great
until you add up what you're
paying to sit at that desk.

The split is the best part of RE/MAX. But RE/MAX agents also pay $400–$750/month in desk fees, $195–$295 per transaction, BSF franchise fees, E&O, tech fees, and MLS fees. By the time you add it all up, your 95/5 looks more like 86/14.

The Full Overhead Stack

What you're REALLY paying at RE/MAX

Estimated annual costs for a RE/MAX 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 (5%) The "stated" 95/5 — before any other fees hit 5% of every transaction $6,750
Monthly desk fees ⚠️ Fixed monthly cost regardless of production — must sell just to break even $400–$750/month $6,000
Per-transaction fee ($245) ⚠️ Charged on every closing — punishes production $195–$295 per closing $3,675
BSF / Franchise fee Business Service Fee charged by RE/MAX LLC $500–$600/yr flat or per-deal $600
E&O insurance Errors & omissions — often charged separately from desk fees ~$50/mo or per transaction $600
MLS & tech fees MLS dues, CRM tools, lead generation subscriptions ~$100/month estimated $1,200
Total annual cost of doing business at RE/MAX $18,825

On $135,000 GCI with a 95/5 split, you're paying out ~14% in overhead before you keep a dollar.

That's your 95/5 working out to roughly 86/14 when you count the full cost of sitting at that desk.

Same 15 deals at eXp: $16,000 cap. $85/month cloud fee. Zero desk fees. Zero per-transaction fees pre-cap.
That's roughly $6,000–$9,000+ back in your pocket on the same production — and you hit 100% after cap.

Death By a Thousand Cuts

The overhead most RE/MAX agents never total up

Agents brag about the 95/5 split. They forget about the desk fees. They forget the per-transaction fees. They forget the BSF. By the time they count everything, the deal math doesn't look as clean.

🏢

The desk fee that runs whether you sell or not

RE/MAX agents pay $400–$750/month just to have a desk — whether or not they close a deal that month. At $500/mo, that's $6,000/year in pure overhead before your first commission hits. At eXp: $85/month. Cloud-based. No physical desk required.

$6,000/yr before deal #1
💸

$245 per deal — on top of your split

Per-transaction fees are the silent production tax. At $245/deal × 15 deals = $3,675/year. At 25 deals/year: $6,125. The more you sell, the more you pay in fees that have nothing to do with your split. eXp: $0 pre-cap transaction fees, $250 post-cap (capped at $5K/year).

💰

Your break-even is higher than you think

At $500/mo desk + $50 E&O + $100 tech, you're spending ~$650/month on overhead before you earn a dollar. You need to close nearly one deal per month just to break even on fixed costs — every month. That's a production pressure most agents never calculate.

🔄

No cap means the 95/5 runs all year

Unlike eXp where you cap at $16K and earn 100% for the rest of the year, most RE/MAX offices don't cap — you pay the 5% split on every dollar, every deal, all year long. On a $300K GCI year, that's $15,000 to the broker. At eXp: capped at $16K, then 100% after.

Questions RE/MAX agents ask

My split is already 95/5. Why would I even consider moving?
Because your split isn't your only cost. RE/MAX desk agents pay $400–$750/month in desk fees before a deal closes, plus $195–$295 per transaction, plus BSF fees, E&O, MLS dues, and tech subscriptions. When you add those up on 15 deals/year, your actual take-home is closer to 86% — not 95%. At eXp: $16K cap, $85/month cloud fee, no desk fees, no per-transaction fees pre-cap. For most mid-to-high producers, the math favors eXp by $4,000–$10,000+ annually.
What exactly is a "per-transaction fee" and how much does it add up to?
RE/MAX offices typically charge $195–$295 per closing on top of your split — regardless of deal size. If you close 15 deals/year at $245 average, that's $3,675 in fees that have nothing to do with your commission percentage. At 25 deals: $6,125. At eXp: no per-transaction fees before you hit your $16K cap. After cap, there's a $250/transaction fee, capped at $5,000/year total.
How is eXp's $85/month better than my desk situation?
RE/MAX desk fees average $400–$750/month. eXp charges $85/month for cloud-based tech, training, and support — period. That's a $3,780–$7,980/year difference. And you're not tied to an office schedule. eXp has partnerships with Regus and WeWork globally for client meetings. Most agents who worried about losing the physical desk realize within 90 days they were paying $500+/month for something they used 3–4 hours a week.
RE/MAX has great brand recognition. Will I lose clients if I leave?
Your clients chose you — not the sign on the door. The data on agent transitions consistently shows that the vast majority of clients follow their agent regardless of brokerage. Transitions typically take 2–4 weeks. Your sphere, your relationships, your pipeline, and your reputation all move with you. Most agents report zero client loss after switching to eXp.
My RE/MAX office doesn't have a cap — is that actually a problem?
It depends on your production. At $135K GCI with a 95/5 split, the 5% to your broker is only $6,750 — relatively small. But you're ALSO paying desk fees and per-transaction fees all year with no relief. At eXp, you hit $16K and earn 100% for the rest of the year. For agents doing $300K+ GCI, the cap model becomes significantly more valuable. Run the calculator to see your specific numbers.
What's the eXp ICON award, and what does it mean for my income?
Once you cap at $16K and complete certain production requirements, eXp awards you approximately $16,000 in EXPI stock — effectively giving your cap money back. For qualifying agents, eXp's real annual cost drops to near zero. RE/MAX has no equivalent program.
How does AgentMagnet build my revenue share line without me doing anything?
AgentMagnet runs an AI-powered outreach system that identifies agents at RE/MAX, KW, C21, 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.
