What each publishes about commission

HomeSmart publishes no single compensation model: Advertises a 100% commission model; the per-transaction and monthly fees are not stated on its public join page, so it is treated as set by each office until they are. The split, cap and fees are agreed with the office you join, so use the calculator with the numbers that office gives you.

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.
