A revenue share program allows brokerages to reward sponsoring agents with a percentage of the brokerageโs revenue generated by the agents they recruit, creating a shared-growth model.
Revenue sharing is paid from the brokerageโs company dollar (before expenses), ensuring consistent payouts, while profit sharing depends on net profits after all costs often less predictable.
No, when designed correctly. The model includes tier unlocks, production thresholds, and payout caps that protect your margins while incentivizing growth.
Most programs use a 5-tier model (5/4/3/2/1%), with unlock rules tied to the number of producing agents or personal production milestones.
Payments must go only to licensed agents, comply with RESPA Section 8, and be based solely on production not on referrals for title, lending, or other services.
You can start with a Google Sheets tracking workbook (Sponsor Tree, Production, and Payouts) or use a dedicated automation platform like RightAlly to avoid manual errors.
The ebook provides a clear 60-day launch planโfrom designing the model and legal review to pilot testing, onboarding agents, and going live.
Avoid overcomplicating tiers, skipping written policies, paying post-cap revenue share, or lacking clear definitions for โproducingโ agentsโall of which can lead to confusion and margin loss.
