Agent Costs, Splits, and Fees at 1912 Realty: What It Really Costs to Be an Agent in Arizona

When Arizona real estate agents compare brokerages, the first question is almost always the same: “What will it cost me?” If you’re actively comparing options, start with our Arizona Agent Move Kit & CRM Export Guide.

At 1912 Realty, we believe in clarity, fairness, and freedom — no hidden fees, no surprises, and no required affiliates. Our cost structure is designed to help experienced and new agents keep more of what they earn, while providing the tools and support to grow your business with confidence.

1. Competitive Splits Designed for Growth

Experienced agents receive 80% of all earned income until they reach an annual cap of $15,000. Once that cap is met, you keep 100% of your commissions for the rest of your anniversary year.

New agents begin at a 70/30 split, with full support, mentoring, and compliance training provided by 1912 Realty’s leadership team — until they hit their cap, and then transition to the 80-20 ... we love helping you build production the right way from the start. Before moving, it’s smart to review your Day‑One compliance checklist.

2. Transparent Transaction Fees

Every transaction includes a modest $60 Risk and Recovery Fee and a Transaction Fee of:

• $99 for sales below $1,000,000
• $199 for sales over $1,000,000

Agents may choose to pass these costs through to clients in their commission agreement — the flexibility is yours.

3. Predictable Monthly Maintenance

Agents pay a $50 monthly maintenance fee to support company systems, compliance, and technology. Married agents may share one production threshold, but each remains responsible for their own monthly fee — a structure that encourages both independence and collaboration.

4. What’s Included (At No Cost to You)

• Professional agent website and email
• Google Workspace and our Canva Templates access
• Ability to buy or sell your own property without a “buddy”
• Comprehensive training, compliance, and support, both in-person and online
• Local leadership and mentorship — available when you need it

These tools help agents grow sustainably without the nickel-and-diming found elsewhere.

5. Freedom from Required Affiliates

At 1912 Realty, you choose your partners. We never require or suggest specific title, mortgage, or insurance affiliates. You and your clients work with whomever best meets your needs.

When 1912 negotiates lower costs for optional tools (like The App or Follow Up Boss), those savings are passed directly to you, not kept by the brokerage.

6. Leaving on Good Terms

If your path ever leads you elsewhere, we part with respect. You’ll pay no exit fees, your splits remain unchanged, and you keep your listings and escrows. Here's how to transfer listings and pendings in Arizona, how to export clients and CRM data, and practical client‑notice scripts for switching brokerages.

Why It Matters

At 1912 Realty, transparency isn’t a marketing line — it’s a philosophy. Agents should always know what they’re paying, what they’re getting, and how their success is rewarded. It’s your brand, your clients, your future — and we’re here to help you make it shine.
