About single-level residuals
Know what they’re worth before you decide
EXIT pays sponsors 10% of a sponsored agent’s gross commission, up to $10,000 per recruit per year, from its head office. It’s a real income stream for agents with productive recruits, so add it up honestly before you compare.
What we hear from EXIT agents
Why Florida EXIT agents start looking
- The 70/30 tier resets each January. The best split only kicks in after $100,000, then starts over.
- There’s no cap. The brokerage share applies to every dollar, unlike capped models.
- Residuals depend on recruiting. Agents who don’t sponsor others pay for a program they don’t use.
Fair is fair
When EXIT may be worth staying for
- Your residual checks from sponsored agents are substantial.
- Your office negotiated a much better split than the standard formula.
- You value your local franchise office and its in-person support.
EXIT agents ask
What is the EXIT Realty commission split?
The published formula is 70% to the agent on the first $100,000 of gross commission per calendar year, then 90%. Individual offices may publish different terms.
How much more would I keep at Firelight360?
On a $10,000 commission under the standard formula, about $2,500 more before EXIT’s per-side fees. At $120,000 a year, our estimate is roughly $27,000 or more.
Do you offer residual income like EXIT?
No. We don’t pay recruiting bonuses or revenue share. We keep 5% so you keep more of your own sales.
Do you charge per-side transaction fees?
No. There are no per-side, regional or membership fees beyond the $49 a year.
Where can I join in Florida?
Orlando, Tampa, St. Pete, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach County and the Space Coast.
95% from your first dollar, not your hundred-thousandth.
