What each publishes about commission

ERA publishes no single compensation model: Set by each franchisee. The split, cap and fees are agreed with the office you join, so use the calculator with the numbers that office gives you.

Fathom EDGE: 7% of each commission to the brokerage until a $9,000 annual cap; $165 per transaction after the cap; a $350 minimum per transaction; $35 errors-and-omissions per sale; $75 a month. Fathom ELEVATE: 20% of each commission to the brokerage, with no annual cap; a $350 minimum per transaction; $35 errors-and-omissions per sale; $75 a month. Read from Fathom Realty's own recruiting page on September 5, 2026; Split is the brokerage's share of gross commission until the annual cap. Residential leases and commercial deals are priced separately on the source page.
