COMMISSION
One flat fee. Nothing else. Here's what that means for your take home.
The most transparent commission structure in Utah real estate. Run your own numbers. Compare against your current setup. If the math is better, apply.
THE MODEL
How the flat fee works.
Realty HQ charges one flat transaction fee, calculated on the home's sale price, not on commission. The rate is the same for every transaction regardless of side or production volume, and we'll give you the current rate in your first conversation. There is no split, no cap structure, no monthly fee, no desk fee, no franchise fee, no marketing fee, no technology fee.
Bring last year's closings to a conversation and we'll work out the brokerage fee on each one with you. The remainder of the commission, after the fee and the standard buy-side split if applicable, belongs to the agent.
The fee doesn't escalate with your production or your tenure. The brokerage's operating costs are predictable and modest, so the structure compounds in the agent's favor at every transaction.
THE MATH
Realty HQ vs the alternatives.
An agent producing 12 closings at an average $450,000 sale price generates roughly $162,000 in gross commission income at a typical 3% commission rate. At a 70/30 brokerage, the agent takes home around $113,400 and gives up $48,600 in split. At Realty HQ the split goes away and one flat transaction fee takes its place. Ask us and we'll run your own year side by side.
On a single $500,000 home with a 3% commission, a 60/40 brokerage takes $6,000. Realty HQ's flat fee on the same transaction is a fraction of that, and we'll show you the exact figure. The percentage doesn't escalate at year five or year fifteen, the way most cap-based structures do.
These are illustrative numbers. Your actual production varies by market, list-side versus buy-side mix, average sale price, and transaction count. The point isn't the specific dollar amount. The point is that the structure compounds, year after year.

RUN THE NUMBERS
Run the numbers. If they work, apply.
If you're producing 12+ deals a year and the math at your current brokerage feels like it should work better than it does, this is the conversation we want to have. If you're not at that level yet but on a defined growth path, our Cornerstone Education program is built for you. Either way, the fastest first step is a 15-minute conversation with Lesley, where we run your numbers with you.
