*Both plans have a $345 Broker Admin Fee on each transaction
Most brokerages take more of your earnings as your year gets more successful. Five Star agents keep more of their profits over the year.
A typical Franchise Brokerage would have forced Five Star Agents to pay out an additional $3,675,000.
Look at the business you created in 2022. Did the Broker or Franchise hand you a listing or buyer? If they handed you business then they clearly see its value. But do the costs you pay in validate what you receive?
We have proven over the past 25+ years, that a broker can provide far more value while charging agents only $8,340 per year!
Five Star was founded by three team leaders. We understand the value, versatility and success of teams. We have over 50 teams operating at Five Star who push each other further than they've been before. With one of the most competitive team fee structures and flexible models, no team at Five Star is built the same way.
Our beginnings, our culture, and what we do to empower you. Watch a video and see why Five Star is different than your average broker.

"I was with another large brokerage and although the people were nice, Five Star Real Estate feels more genuine! There is not one formula that works for every agent and I feel that Five Star Real Estate agents are encouraged to make their own business whatever they want."

The culture is forward thinking and encourages more than just a traditional mind set. I control my marketing and the focus on building my brand long term not my brokers."
