What Is Revenue Share?
Revenue share is essentially REAL’s marketing budget. Instead of paying for billboards or paid ads, REAL gives that money back to the agents who are growing the company 1 agent at a time. REAL’s revenue share is taken out of the 15% split that agents pay to REAL.
REAL Revenue Share Model Explained
REAL has one of the most generous revenue share systems in the cloud brokerage space. 60% of their monthly revenue goes back to agents in the form of revenue share. This is more than any other cloud brokerage and allows them to pay more per agent than anyone else.
At REAL, you can earn up to $4,000 a year in passive income for every full-capping agent you attract to the company.
How Much You Can Earn per Tier
The percentages are how much you will earn from each commission from the agents you sponsor. This is taken out of the 15% that REAL takes.
| Tier | % of commission | Max Rev Share per year |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 5% | $4,000 |
| Tier 2 | 4% | $3,200 |
| Tier 3 | 3% | $2,400 |
| Tier 4 | 2% | $1,600 |
| Tier 5 | 1% | $800 |

Unlocking Higher Tiers Of Revenue Share
By default, only Tier 1 is unlocked (i.e., you can earn revenue share only on agents you directly bring in). To start earning from deeper layers (Tier 2, 3, etc.), you must unlock those tiers through one of three paths:
Producing Tier 1 Agents Path: Recruiting a certain number of producing Tier 1 agents
5 producing Tier 1 agents ➝ unlock Tier 2
15 producing Tier 1 ➝ unlock Tier 3
20 producing Tier 1 ➝ unlock Tier 4
25 producing Tier 1 ➝ unlock Tier 5
Attractor Path: Unlock tiers based on total size of your network (across all tiers), regardless of producing criteria
Tier 3 at 750
Tier 4 at 1,000
Tier 5 at 1,500
Producer Path: Unlock tiers by hitting your own production milestones
When you “cap” (i.e. hit your own $12,000 company dollar cap), you automatically unlock up to Tier 3 for the remainder of your capping year.
If you reach “Elite Agent” status, you can unlock up to Tier 5 for the remainder of your capping year.
REAL Co-Sponsorship
At REAL, a joining agent can actually name 2 agents as their sponsor. By doing this, all revenue share those 2 agents would get is split 50/50. The joining agent will count as .5 of a producing agent for each of his sponsors for the purpose of unlocking tiers of revenue share.REAL Williable Revenue Share
At REAL, any revenue share an agent earns is completely willible. This means agents can build generational wealth and can leave passive income to anyone they designate, including children or grandchildren.
REAL Retirement Plan
At REAL, if you are a producing agent for at least 3 years, you can step out of production and continue receiving 60% of your revenue share, be a producing agent for 4 years and receive 80% and if you’re a producing agent with REAL for 5 years, you can stop producing and receive 100% of your revenue share
