The Dallas real estate market in 2026
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is the 4th largest metro area in the United States and the most active real estate market in Texas by transaction volume. DFW added over 150,000 new residents in 2024, driven by corporate relocations from California, New York, and Illinois — including major headquarters moves by Goldman Sachs, Charles Schwab, and McKesson.
DFW's real estate market spans dramatically different submarkets — from luxury in Highland Park and Southlake to high-volume entry-level in Mesquite, Garland, and Grand Prairie. Agents who work across multiple DFW submarkets benefit most from a statewide, no-restriction sponsorship structure.
The DFW market has one of the highest concentrations of licensed real estate agents in Texas, creating intense competition. The agents who build sustainable businesses are those who control their cost structure — keeping more of every commission rather than giving it to a national franchise brand.
How the top Dallas brokerages compare
Most agents in Dallas are choosing between the same handful of national brands. Here is how their fee structures compare — and what each one actually costs you per year.
Keller Williams
KW has a massive DFW presence with strong training infrastructure, but the 30% split and high cap mean agents pay significantly before seeing full commission retention.
Coldwell Banker
Traditional franchise model with high brand recognition but among the most expensive split structures in the DFW market. Franchise royalty adds additional cost on every transaction.
eXp Realty
Growing DFW presence with revenue share appeal, but agents still give up 20% until cap. Monthly fees and stock vesting requirements add complexity.
Compass
Strong luxury brand in Preston Hollow, Southlake, and Westlake, but split model extracts significant commission on every high-value DFW transaction.

Frequently asked questions from Dallas agents
What is the best real estate brokerage to join in Dallas?
For Dallas-Fort Worth agents who want to keep 100% of their commissions, Texas Broker Sponsor™ is the top choice. At DFW's median home price of $380,000, a 30% split costs $3,420 per transaction. TBS eliminates that loss with a flat annual sponsorship fee and no split on any transaction.
How much do DFW real estate agents lose at split brokerages?
At a 70/30 split with DFW's median home price of $380,000, an agent loses $3,420 per transaction. At 12 transactions per year, that is $41,040 given to the brokerage annually. High-volume DFW agents closing 20+ transactions per year lose $68,400+ annually at a 30% split.
Does Texas Broker Sponsor™ cover all DFW submarkets?
Yes. TBS covers statewide in Texas, including every DFW submarket — Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Irving, Arlington, Southlake, Colleyville, and beyond. One sponsorship covers the entire Metroplex.
Is TBS a good fit for high-volume DFW agents?
Especially so. The more transactions you close, the more a percentage split costs you. A DFW agent closing 30 transactions per year at $380,000 median gives away $102,600 annually at a 30% split. At TBS, that money stays in your pocket.
Can I sponsor my real estate team or LLC under TBS in Dallas?
Yes. Texas Broker Sponsor™ sponsors individual agents, LLCs, property management companies, and commercial entities throughout DFW and statewide. Team structures and LLC entities are a core part of the TBS sponsorship model.
