Real Service
More of what matters.
We provide essential tools you’ll actually use and focus our energy on support, keeping the agents fees low. Invest in your business exactly how you please. Let us create an experience that is truly personal and not just a bunch of tech tools.
Open Minded
It's ok to be different.
We value your individuality. This business is unique for each Realtor. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to Real Estate - and we embrace that! From the way we structure our education, real time support, in house design team and more. We’re all about you.
Unrivaled Support
Support when you need it.
We focus on an ‘a la minute’ support structure. With Five Star staff only one phone call away, you’re able to get the answers you need, exactly when you need them.
Commission Splits
YOU’RE THE ONE DOING THE WORK – SHOULDN’T YOU KEEP THE REWARD?
Traditional brokers keep over 20-50% of YOUR commission. A Five Star agent has 2 options for sales commission. And you choose the option that’s best for YOU.
Flat Fee Plan
What's the plan?
- You keep 100% commission.
- Caps at $7,680 per year.
- Basically $640 per month, you keep the rest!
- Includes access to all Five Star resources, classes, and support.
- You pay nothing extra, no hidden fees.
The Cap Plan
What's the plan?
- 70/30 Split.
- Once you’ve paid in $8,900, you keep 100% for the rest of the year.
- $105 per month membership fee.
- Includes access to all Five Star resources, classes, and support.
- You pay nothing extra, no hidden fees.
*Both plans have a $295 Broker Admin Fee on each transaction
The more you earn, the more you keep for yourself.
Most brokerages take more of your earnings as your year gets more successful. Five Star agents keep more of their profits over the year.

Five Star Saved Agents $3,360,000 in 2021
A typical Franchise Brokerage would have forced Five Star Agents to pay out an additional $3,360,000.
Look at the business you created in 2021. 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 $7,680 per year!
Teams are in our DNA
Build your team your way.
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.

Five Star is more than a brokerage.

"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."
