Build your own real estate brand, sponsor your own agents, and operate as an independent entity — all without holding a broker license yourself.
LLC broker sponsorship is a model where a Texas LLC holds its own real estate brokerage license from TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission). Instead of the LLC owner needing to be a licensed broker, the LLC designates a licensed broker to serve as its “designated broker” — the person responsible for regulatory compliance and broker oversight.
This means you can own and operate a real estate brokerage in Texas with just a sales agent license. Your LLC is the licensed entity, and your designated broker (like RaiderX's Brent Butcher) provides the broker-level oversight required by TREC.
The result? You get to build your own brand, sponsor agents under your entity, and run your brokerage business — without the years of experience and testing required to obtain a broker license.
Forming a real estate LLC and obtaining entity-level broker sponsorship offers advantages that individual and team sponsorship models simply cannot match.
Under Texas law, a real estate brokerage can be owned by an LLC. That LLC must hold its own brokerage license from TREC and must have a designated broker — a licensed broker who provides the regulatory oversight required by law.
Think of it this way: your LLC is the brokerage, and the designated broker is the licensed professional who ensures compliance with TREC rules. You, as the LLC owner, run the business, build the brand, recruit agents, and manage operations.
To set up an LLC brokerage in Texas with a designated broker, you'll need to meet these requirements:

RaiderX offers three sponsorship models, each designed for different stages and goals. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | Individual | Team | LLC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | $99/mo | $119/mo per agent | $199/mo (owner only) |
| Commission Split | 100% (no split) | 100% (no split from RaiderX) | 100% (no split from RaiderX) |
| Branding | RaiderX brand | Team branding under RaiderX | Full white-label (your brand) |
| Own License | Under RaiderX license | Under RaiderX license | LLC holds own license |
| Sponsor Agents | No | Team members only | Yes, under your LLC |
| Custom Domain | No | No | Yes |
| Best For | Solo agents | Team leaders + agents | Brokerage owners |
Individual ($99/mo) is ideal for solo agents who want to keep 100% of their commission with no overhead. You operate under the RaiderX brand and get full access to all tools and support.
Team ($119/mo per agent) is built for team leaders who want to bring their agents together under a team name. RaiderX never takes a commission split — team leaders manage their own internal commission structures with their agents.
LLC ($199/mo for the owner) is the ultimate option for agents ready to build their own brokerage. Your LLC holds its own license, gets full white-label branding and a custom domain, and you can sponsor agents under your entity.

Common questions about LLC broker sponsorship in Texas.
