See what you could keep on a typical Houston deal under RaiderX's flat monthly fee instead of a traditional broker split.

Houston Commission Breakdown

Commission structures on Houston-area transactions vary by deal and are negotiated between the parties involved, with proceeds typically divided between the buyer's and seller's agents. What an agent actually takes home from their side depends entirely on the brokerage's split structure — and that's where most agents lose the most money.

Under a traditional 70/30 split, an agent working a $300,000 sale at 3% commission ($9,000) would keep $6,300 and hand $2,700 to the brokerage. Agents on lower-percentage splits keep proportionally less, no matter their experience level. These figures are illustrative examples to show how splits work, not a guarantee of any specific sale price or commission on a real transaction.

With RaiderX's Individual plan, a sponsored agent keeps the full $9,000 and pays a flat $99/month instead of a percentage. Run the same math across a full year of deals and the gap between a percentage split and a flat fee widens with every closing.

How Traditional Commission Splits Work in Houston

No Commission Split

No Hidden Fees

No desk fees, transaction fees, or franchise fees. Applying is free, and pricing is published, not negotiated deal by deal.

What Houston Agents Keep With RaiderX

RaiderX sponsors licensed Texas agents under a flat-fee model instead of a commission split. As an Individual partner, you keep 100% of your commission for $99/month — no split to RaiderX on any deal, ever.

If you work under a team, the team leader sets each agent's split, and the plan is $119/month per agent. If you run your business through an LLC, sponsorship is $199/month plus $20/month per licensed agent under the entity; for antitrust reasons, agents sponsored under a team or an LLC always have at least a 1% split retained by the leader or owner — only Individual partners sponsored directly by RaiderX are at 100%.

Property management companies are sponsored at $499/month plus $20/month per agent, which includes PortfolioX. E&O insurance is included for Individual and Team sponsorships; LLC and PMC entities carry their own E&O policy since they're separate legal entities.

How to Switch to RaiderX in Houston

Applying is free and starts at /apply. Self-applicants complete a short questionnaire and an intro call with an Account Executive or the broker; agents added under an existing team, LLC, or PMC skip that review step.

Broker approval typically takes 3-5 business days. Once approved, you sign the Independent Contractor Agreement and W-9 by e-signature (LLC and PMC owners also sign the Business Entity Sponsorship Agreement), pay your first month's dues, and RaiderX handles moving your TREC sponsorship — typically about a week from start to finish.

Common Questions

What is the typical real estate commission in Houston?

Commission amounts on Houston transactions are negotiated on a per-deal basis between the parties involved and vary by brokerage, service level, and the specifics of the sale. What matters most to your take-home pay isn't the total commission on a deal — it's your brokerage's split structure. Under RaiderX's Individual plan, there's no split to RaiderX at all, so you keep 100% of whatever commission you earn.

How much more would I keep with RaiderX as an Individual partner?

As an Individual partner, you keep 100% of your commission and pay a flat $99/month instead of giving up a percentage split to a brokerage. On a $300,000 sale at 3% commission ($9,000), that means keeping the full $9,000 rather than a reduced share under a traditional split — the gap grows with every closing.

If I join a team or an LLC, do I still keep 100% of my commission?

No. Only Individual partners sponsored directly by RaiderX keep 100%. Under a team, the leader sets each agent's split; under an LLC or PMC, the owner sets it. For antitrust reasons, the leader or owner always retains at least 1% — RaiderX itself never takes a share.

Are there desk fees, transaction fees, or franchise fees with RaiderX?

No. RaiderX charges a flat monthly fee based on your plan (Individual, Team, LLC, or PMC) with no desk fees, no per-transaction fees, and no franchise fees. Applying is free.

Does RaiderX include E&O insurance for Houston agents?

E&O insurance is included for Individual and Team sponsorships. LLC and PMC entities are separate legal entities and carry their own E&O policy.

How long does it take to move my license to RaiderX?

Broker approval typically takes 3-5 business days after applying at /apply. After signing onboarding documents and paying your first month's dues, RaiderX handles the TREC sponsorship transfer, with the full process typically taking about a week.
