Launch your own Texas real estate brokerage under your own brand, with a TREC-licensed designated broker (broker sponsor of record) on file from day one. Transparent $199/month for the owner, plus $20/month per sponsored agent — no splits, no franchise fees, no transaction fees, and agent dues can be passed through so your own cost stays $199.
Already have an LLC? We review applications within 3-5 business days.
A designated broker is the licensed Texas real estate broker that TREC holds responsible for the operations and compliance of a brokerage. Every Texas real estate LLC must have one on file. RaiderX serves as the designated broker — also called the broker sponsor of record — for your LLC at $199/month plus $20/month per sponsored agent, so you can own the brand, recruit agents, and run the business without holding a broker license yourself.
Sales agents who want to form their own real estate LLC, scale a team under their own brand, or move from a traditional brokerage split to full ownership of their book of business.
RaiderX's broker signs the TREC Application for Broker License by a Business Entity (the form that licenses your LLC), supervises required compliance, and stays the designated broker on file for the life of the sponsorship.
Your LLC, your brand, your domain, your agents, your client list, your 100% commission economics. RaiderX provides the broker oversight TREC requires — not a piece of your business.
Designated Broker for your LLC
One transparent fee covers designated broker services and the full RaiderX operating platform for the LLC owner, plus $20/month for each sponsored agent.
Month-to-month. No setup fee. No commission split. Cancel anytime.
TREC-licensed broker on file for your LLC. We sign the entity license, review compliance, and stay the broker of record for the life of the sponsorship.
Your LLC is a separate legal entity and carries its own Errors & Omissions policy. RaiderX verifies coverage as part of ongoing compliance.
Your LLC, your logo, your custom domain. Agents and clients see your brand — not RaiderX.
AI command center for lead intake, contract drafting, deadline tracking, and client comms — built for modern brokerages, not bolted on.
Contract-driven deadline tracking comes free. Optional TC support is $500 per deal — no flat retainer.
A real human who knows your LLC, your agents, and Texas brokerage compliance. Not a help-desk queue.

A designated broker is the licensed Texas real estate broker that TREC holds responsible for the operations and compliance of a real estate brokerage. Every Texas brokerage — including LLCs and corporations — must designate one active broker to supervise the entity.
A broker sponsor of record is the broker on file with TREC who is legally responsible for an agent or business entity. For an LLC brokerage, the broker sponsor of record is the designated broker. RaiderX serves as the broker sponsor of record for Texas LLCs at $199/month.
No. A licensed sales agent can own a Texas real estate LLC as long as the entity has a TREC-licensed designated broker on file. RaiderX provides that designated broker.
Most designated broker services charge an LLC fee plus opaque per-agent fees that scale with your team size. RaiderX charges a transparent $199/month for the LLC owner plus $20/month per sponsored agent — the LLC covers it by default, or you can pass it through to agents or split it any way you choose. There are no franchise fees, no commission splits, and no transaction surcharges.
Yes. Your LLC holds its own TREC brokerage license and can sponsor agents directly. Those agents operate under your white-label brand on the RaiderX platform, while RaiderX provides the statutory broker oversight TREC requires.
Most LLC brokerage launches complete in 10-21 days. Texas Secretary of State formation: 3-5 business days online. TREC entity license: 7-14 days. RaiderX onboarding: 48 hours after TREC approval.
Designated broker oversight, ConsoleX AI, full CRM, DealManager contract-deadline tracking, Partner Academy, white-label branding with custom domain support, and a dedicated Account Executive. Sponsored agents owe $20/month each, covered by the LLC by default. As a separate legal entity, your LLC carries its own E&O policy. The only optional cost is TCAssist transaction coordination at $500 per closing.
Reach out before you sign with another sponsor. RaiderX rarely loses on price once the full feature stack is compared — most competitors charge separately for tools we include — but we will review any written offer and respond within one business day.
Spend $625 in state and TREC fees, $199/month with RaiderX (plus $20/month for each agent you sponsor), and you're the owner of a real Texas brokerage by the end of the month.
