[1] Commission Plans

Costera Luxury Properties | Brokerage Fee Payment Options - Commission Plans

Commission Plans - Brokerage Fee Payment Options (BFPO)'s

No Payment Option (BFPO #1)*


OPTION #1: Under this option, an Agent is not billed and makes NO payments to Costera Luxury Properties (Broker) during their 12-month term. This is solely a performance-based plan and there are NO out-of-pocket expenses to the Broker with this option. The Broker fee is originally set at 20% (80/20 commission split) of the Total Gross Commission (TGC) per transaction side for residential sales. Once an Agent generates gross commissions above $40,000 TGC, the Broker fee will automatically go from 20% and be permanently fixed at 10% (90/10 commission split) of the TGC per transaction side for residential sales and for any 12-month term thereafter. Performance-Based Option (Agent has NO annual or semi-annual payments under this option = $0/year).


BFPO #1 is a Popular Option for:

  • Agents who are personally satisfied starting out with an 80/20 commission split;
  • Agents who have little to no residential sales experience as a California REALTOR®;
  • Agents who do not personally foresee any potential real estate sales transactions within the next 12-months;
  • Agents who do not personally consider real estate sales a full-time career/position;
  • Agents who cannot afford, or simply prefer not to pay upfront brokerage fees/out-of-pocket expenses to the Broker;
  • Agents who have a spouse licensed with the Broker;
  • Agents who prefer to simply hold their license with the Broker as Non-REALTOR® Agents - but are still able to receive Associate-Licensee benefits as described in footnote [10] below.


Annual Payment Options (BFPO #2, 3 and 4)*


OPTION #2: Under this option, the Broker fee is set at 10% (90/10 commission split) of the Total Gross Commission (TGC) per transaction side for residential sales and for any 12-month term thereafter. Agent makes an upfront payment of $720 annually (1 upfront payment at $720 = $720/year).


OPTION #3: Under this option, the Broker fee is originally set at 10% (90/10 commission split) of the Total Gross Commission (TGC) per transaction side for residential sales. Once an Agent generates gross commissions above $40,000 TGC, the Broker fee will automatically go from 10% and be permanently fixed at 5% (95/5 commission split) of the TGC per transaction side for residential sales and for any 12-month term thereafter. Performance-Based Option: Agent makes an upfront payment of $960 annually (1 upfront payment at $960 = $960/year).


OPTION #4: Under this option, the Broker fee is set at 5% (95/5 commission split) of the Total Gross Commission (TGC) per transaction side for residential sales and for any 12-month term thereafter. Agent makes an upfront payment of $1,200 annually (1 upfront payment at $1,200 = $1,200/year).


BFPO #2, 3 and 4 are Popular Options for:

  • Agents who are personally satisfied receiving a higher commission split percentage vs. BFPO #1;
  • Agents who have residential sales experience as a California REALTOR®;
  • Agents who foresee and already have real estate clients lined-up and ready to sell and/or purchase properties within the next 12-months;
  • Agents who personally consider real estate sales a full-time career / position.


* There are no refunds, credits or prorations that are returned back to the Agent. Prior to your Anniversary Date (12-month renewal), the Agent must notify the Broker, in writing, with at least 30-days prior notice of Agent's 12-month Anniversary Date if Agent wishes to choose another BFPO. If not, the Agent's current option will be automatically extended for another 12-months and cannot be changed until the Anniversary Date renewal is up again.


Additionally, the TGC calculations for all Commission Plans are based on a minimum of 2.50% commission per transaction side of the Residential Sales Price (RSP), or a minimum of $625, whichever is greater (refer to "Commission Breakdown Examples" below). Please keep in mind that real estate commission percentages and sales compensations are negotiable between Broker and real estate client, and therefore, may vary and are not set at a fixed percentage or dollar amount. Additionally, there is no limit to the maximum commission percentage or dollar amount per transaction side as well. Any other associated costs and/or variable fees involved, as described in footnotes [4] - [8] may apply.


NOTE: There are NO Transaction Management System (TMS) fees associated with Residential sales transactions under any BFPO. However, for non-residential sales transactions, the Agent's BFPO commission percentage DOES NOT apply. The Broker simply charges the Agent a flat fee of 25% of the TGC received for non-residential sales transactions, plus: 1) a TMS fee of $100 per transaction side for leasing any type of property; mobile / manufactured home sales; and land sales transactions; or 2) a TMS fee of $250 per transaction side for Commercial sales transactions.


Commission Breakdown Examples

OPTION #1 – 80:20 Residential Sales Commission Examples:

  1. $1 million Residential Sales Price (RSP) at 2.50% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $25,000 GC; $25,000 GC x 20% split = $5,000 to the Broker. Therefore, $25,000 GC - $5,000 Broker Fee = $20,000 to the Agent.
  2. $1 million RSP at 2.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $20,000 GC; $1,000,000 RSP x 2.50% minimum commission rate x 20% split = $5,000 Broker Fee. Therefore, $20,000 GC - $5,000 Broker Fee = $15,000 to the Agent.
  3. $1 million RSP at 3.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $30,000 GC; $30,000 GC x 20% split = $6,000 to the Broker. Therefore, $30,000 GC - $6,000 Broker Fee = $24,000 to the Agent.


OPTION #1, #2 or #3 – 90:10 Residential Sales Commission Examples:

  1. $1 million Residential Sales Price (RSP) at 2.50% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $25,000 GC; $25,000 GC x 10% split = $2,500 to the Broker. Therefore, $25,000 GC - $2,500 Broker Fee = $22,500 to the Agent.
  2. $1 million RSP at 2.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $20,000 GC; $1,000,000 RSP x 2.50% minimum commission rate x 10% split = $2,500 to the Broker. Therefore, $20,000 GC - $2,500 Broker Fee = $17,500 to the Agent.
  3. $1 million RSP at 3.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $30,000 GC; $30,000 GC x 10% split = $3,000 to the Broker. Therefore, $30,000 GC - $3,000 Broker Fee = $27,000 to the Agent.


OPTION #3 or #4 – 95:5 Residential Sales Commission Examples:

  1. $1 million Residential Sales Price (RSP) at 2.50% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $25,000 GC; $25,000 GC x 5% split = $1,250 to the Broker. Therefore, $25,000 GC - $1,250 Broker Fee = $23,750 to the Agent.
  2. $1 million RSP at 2.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $20,000 GC; $1,000,000 RSP x 2.50% minimum commission rate x 5% split = $1,250 to the Broker. Therefore, $20,000 GC - $1,250 Broker Fee = $18,750 to the Agent.
  3. $1 million RSP at 3.00% commission rate representing one side of the transaction = $30,000 GC; $30,000 GC x 5% split = $1,500 to the Broker. Therefore, $30,000 GC - $1,500 Broker Fee = $28,500 to the Agent.

About using a Transaction Coordinator

Although the use of a Transaction Coordinator (TC) is highly encouraged for all Agents in Residential Sales Transactions, it is NOT required or mandatory to use a Transaction Coordinator for Experienced Agents who have over $2 million in proven California Residential Sales Transactions. However, Agents who have no residential sales experience or have sold less than $2 million in proven California Residential Sales Transactions; or do any commercial real estate transactions are required to use a Transaction Coordinator.


Typically, a TC will charge a transaction coordination fee for their services of approximately $400 to $600 per transaction side. Additionally, all TC fees are the responsibility of the Agent, not the Broker, and are to be paid through escrow once the transaction is closed and complete.


NOTE: Costera Luxury Properties (Broker) is not affiliated with and does not employ Transaction Coordinators to manage transaction files for any of their Agents.

[5] New Licensee Supplemental (NLS) Fee

Costera Luxury Properties | Realtor Associations in California

Costera Luxury Properties (Broker) is a member of the California (CAR) and National (NAR) Association of REALTORS®; a participant to the California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS); and associated with 6 local Southern California REALTOR® Associations as Designated REALTOR® members as described in footnote [7] above.

HOWEVER, if an Agent insists on joining or remaining with such association, the Agent must have the Broker's expressed written approval to do so. Please keep in mind that additional Brokerage fees/charges may be applicable.

[9] Compensation

Costera Luxury Properties | How much do Southern California real estate agents make?

How much do REALTORS® make?

As a REALTOR® (independent contractor that is a licensed real estate agent), your income / compensation is completely commission-based and will vary based on your skills, experience, location, market conditions, work ethic, connections / sphere of influence, and so on. If you're looking for a very general average, the average annual income for REALTORS® throughout the state of California hovers around $100,000.


Obviously, California is a very large state and the real estate market can vary significantly from area to area. While the average annual income throughout the state of California represents a fairly high number vs. the national average, the salary range, as an example for REALTORS® specifically located in Mission Viejo, CA (our headquarters), falls somewhere between $50,000 on the low end and around $500,000 for top earners - averaging around $150,000 annually.


Why is there such a huge gap in pay? Well, in order to become a top-earner, agents must commit a significant amount of time, energy and money into their business. Getting out there and meeting people, along with hard work is essential to high salaries. Like any career, real estate agents who build a solid foundation of hard work and dedication to the business will find the most success. Agents who don't put out a dedicated and consistent effort, typically fail to succeed.


With that said, multi-million dollar homes around Los Angeles, Newport Beach, San Diego, Palm Springs, and other areas, mean there are REALTORS® making well above the average annual salary. Star agents in California can make millions annually! While these numbers may seem out of reach, if you are a REALTOR® in California - your chances of multi-million dollar sales are higher than any other state.

71% of active real estate agents didn't sell a single home last year!
