What 100% Commission Real Estate Really Means (and Why It Matters for Agents)
“Keep 100% of your commission.” You’ve probably seen this promise before. It sounds appealing, but many agents wonder: Is it too good to be true? How does it really work?
At Platinum Star Properties (PSP), we believe in transparency. Let’s break down what the 100% commission real estate model is, how it compares to traditional brokerages, and why it’s changing the game for agents in Palm Springs and beyond.
Traditional Brokerage Model: The Old Way
In most brokerages, commission is split between the agent and the broker. A typical split might be 70/30 or 80/20.
Example:
Home Sale: $500,000
Commission Earned: $15,000
70/30 Split: The broker keeps $4,500, leaving you with $10,500.
This setup works for some, but many agents find it frustrating—especially since they’re the ones finding clients, showing homes, and negotiating contracts.

100% Commission Real Estate: The New Standard
With a 100 percent commission brokerage, agents keep the entire commission from each transaction. Instead of giving away a percentage, you typically pay a flat monthly fee or a small transaction fee.
Example:
Home Sale: $500,000
Commission Earned: $15,000
With 100% commission: You keep the full $15,000, minus any small fixed fees.
This approach puts more money back in your pocket and gives you greater control over your business.
Why Agents Love the 100% Commission Model
Higher Earnings—Agents retain more of what they earn, leading to significant income growth.
Predictable Costs—Flat monthly or transaction fees make expenses easier to manage.
Business Ownership—You operate like an entrepreneur, deciding how to reinvest your earnings in marketing, tools, or personal growth.
Flexibility—Without rigid commission splits, you gain more freedom in shaping your real estate career.

Some 100% commission brokerages offer little beyond a license. PSP does things differently. We believe you deserve both maximum earnings and full support.
