WHY AGENTS JOIN

Real leads. Real support. Fewer excuses.

Most brokerages hand you a desk and a logo. We hand you leads and expect you to work them.

Live buyer and seller leads through our Zillow Preferred partnership, plus Google ads, Realtor.com and Homes.com. You set your capacity. Performance decides how much you get.

02

Proof it works

A brand-new agent with no experience closed 7 deals in his first 8 months. A seasoned agent closed 3 Zillow deals in about 5. It is not a secret. It is follow-up.

A fast start

Your license can transfer online overnight. Then you sign, we set up your systems and email, and we tell you exactly when your lead flow turns on.

Less to figure out

THE HONEST DEAL

Here is exactly what you get and what we ask for.

Leads are not free money. They are earned. We would rather you know that now.

What you get

  • No monthly, annual, desk, franchise or inactive-license fees
  • No sales quotas and no cap on transactions
  • Zillow Pro account and Follow Up Boss CRM at no cost
  • Google Workspace, professional email and video meetings
  • Transaction management and e-signature software
  • Your own agent webpage with MLS IDX search
  • Digital marketing package you can customize
  • Onboarding help and direct access to Bret and Josh
  • A weekly team meeting, an active team chat and get-togethers
  • Commission paid from escrow

What we expect

  • Nothing up front. Something when you close. You do not pay for leads in advance. When a lead closes, the brokerage shares in that commission under a written split, and a 2% resource fee applies to every closed transaction. No closing, no bill.
  • Answer your phone. We expect you to answer at least 7 out of 10 lead calls. Speed is what wins the appointment.
  • Get in front of people. The goal is an in-person meeting. Book appointments or your lead flow slows down.
  • Keep your CRM current. Your lead statuses feed the partner program that supplies your leads. Stale records cost you.
  • Convert. Partner lead flow follows closings and Zillow Home Loans pre-approvals. It is a maximum, never a promise. We will show you exactly how it works on your call.
  • Treat it like a business. Expect 40 to 60 hours a week for your first two years. Hungry agents do well here. Casual ones do not.

Commission splits and all other terms are shared in writing during your screening call. Availability varies by area.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Good questions. Straight answers.

Are the leads really free?

You do not pay anything up front for leads. Instead, when a lead closes, the brokerage keeps a share of that commission under your written split, and the 2% resource fee applies. If a lead never closes, you owe nothing on it.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. There are no monthly, annual, desk, franchise, inactive or hang-license fees under the current fee schedule. The 2% resource fee is charged per closed transaction.

Do I need experience?

No. We have had a brand-new agent close 7 deals in 8 months and a seasoned agent close 3 in 5. What matters most is that you are licensed, hungry and willing to work.

How many leads will I get?

We cannot promise a number. Lead access is tied to your performance: how fast you respond, how many appointments you book and how many deals you close. Work the system and your capacity grows.

How fast can I start?

A license transfer can happen overnight. After that we sign paperwork and set up your systems. We will give you a real timeline for your lead flow on your screening call.

Do I have to use Zillow Home Loans?

Your clients always choose their own lender. Zillow measures partner performance in part by pre-approvals from Zillow Home Loans, so we will walk you through how our agents handle that.

Will you sell my information?

Never. We use your application only to review it and contact you about joining. See the privacy notice.
