For husband & wife teams
Two agents.
One cap.
You work as one, so you pay as one. Your spouse gets everything for $50 a month.
$0 to sign up. Nothing is charged until your license is active with AXEN.
Every closing either of you does fills it.
The short version
01How it works
One business. Charged like two.
Most brokerages give every agent their own cap. Even when two of you run one business.
The same 20 sales on Pro
YouYour spouse$500 file fee$0$4,000more stays with you. You close 12, your spouse closes 8.
Why two caps cost youAnd the whole year, line by line.
- Most places: each of you has to fill your own cap before either of you keeps 100%.
- Every fee you pay, your spouse pays too.
- The one who closes less may never cap, so their split never stops.
- AXEN: every closing either of you does counts toward the same cap.
- Then $0 file fees for the rest of your cap year. The $295 admin fee stays.
- Your spouse adds the $50 a month platform fee (or $500 a year). No second cap, no second split.
| On Pro, one year | Two agents, two caps | Couple, one cap |
|---|---|---|
| File fees | $10,000$6,000 + $4,000 | $6,000one cap, then $0 |
| $295 admin fee | $5,900 | $5,900 |
| Platform fee | $1,200 | $1,200 |
| Total to AXEN | $17,100 | $13,100 |
02The math
Now your numbers.
Put in both of your years. There’s no split to work out.
92.7% stays with you
Small deals, leases and referralsAll of it counts toward your one cap.
- Under $2,500 of commission, a file costs 10% of it instead of the plan fee.
- Leases, rentals and referrals cost 10%, max $500 ($1,000 on Elite), plus a $50 admin fee that goes to the Deal Desk coordinator.
- The $295 admin fee: most of it pays your Deal Desk coordinator and state broker. Many agents pass it to the client.
- On Pro, the cap takes about 12 full-price closings between the two of you.
- Your cap year runs from the lead partner’s AXEN anniversary.
Every fee is on the pay plans page.

06Questions couples ask
The answers, in full.
Can a husband and wife share one cap at AXEN Realty?
Yes. You join as a partnership, and both of your closings count toward one cap: $6,000 a year on Pro or $12,000 on Elite. Once you hit it together, your file fees are $0 for the rest of the year.
What does the second spouse pay?
$50 a month for the platform (or $500 a year). That is the only extra cost of adding your spouse. The $295 admin fee is per closing, not per person, so a closing costs the same no matter which of you closes it.
Does my spouse get the same tools and support as me?
Yes. Your spouse is a full AXEN agent: their own login, CRM, website, AXEN email, a Deal Desk coordinator on every file, a state broker, AXEN University and live support. Nothing is held back.
Do we each get our own revenue share?
Yes. You each have your own spot in revenue share. Agents you bring in can sit under either of you, and each of you is paid five levels deep on your own line: $100 a level for each closing by an agent on Pro, $200 on Elite. It is paid while that agent still pays a file fee, and stops once they cap. It is not a promise of income.
More questions7 more answers: licenses, plans, small deals, signing up.
Do we both need a real estate license?
Yes. You are both licensed agents, and you both hang your license with AXEN in your state.
Which anniversary does our shared cap follow?
One of you is the lead partner, and your shared cap year runs from the lead partner's AXEN anniversary.
Do we both have to be on the same plan?
Yes. You pick one plan together — Pro or Elite — because you share one cap.
What if one of us sells a lot more than the other?
That is the point. The cap is shared, so the busier spouse fills it and the other spouse rides along for $50 a month.
Do leases, referrals and small deals count toward our cap?
Yes. A sale under $2,500 of commission costs 10% of the commission instead of the plan fee, plus the $295 admin fee. Leases, rentals and referrals cost 10%, max $500 on Pro or $1,000 on Elite, plus a $50 admin fee instead of the $295. All of it counts toward your one shared cap.
We are on Elite and paid toward a cap at our old brokerage. Do we get credit?
Yes. The Elite reverse sign-on credits what you already paid toward your old cap this year. On a shared cap it is one credit for the household — the larger of yours.
How do we sign up as a couple?
You each sign up for your own account. It takes a few minutes each. One of you ticks “I’m joining with my spouse” on the join form and adds your spouse’s name. The Join together button on this page ticks it for you. We won’t contact your spouse. Once you have both joined, our team links your two accounts into one partnership with one cap. Missed the box? Just tell us on your call.
