How the top San Antonio brokerages compare

Most agents in San Antonio 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

Split: 70/30 to cap|Monthly: $45–$85/mo|Cap: $18,000–$21,000/yr

High cap requirement means you pay to earn your own money back. Strong training culture, but the math favors the brokerage until you cap.

RE/MAX

Split: 95/5 or 100%|Monthly: $1,000–$2,000+/mo|Cap: None (desk fee model)

High monthly desk fees regardless of production. Works for high-volume agents but punishes slower months heavily.

eXp Realty

Split: 80/20 to $16,000 cap|Monthly: $85/mo tech fee|Cap: $16,000/yr

Cloud-based model with revenue share upside, but agents still give up 20% until cap. Monthly fees add up on slow months.

Compass

Split: 80/20 to cap|Monthly: Varies by market|Cap: Varies

Premium brand and tools, but split-based model means significant commission loss per transaction in a market like San Antonio.

Texas Broker Sponsor™

Split: None — 100% to you|Monthly: $0|Cap: None needed

Flat annual sponsorship fee. Keep 100% of every commission. No franchise royalty. No hidden fees. Statewide coverage.
