The 60-second version
Your split is a tax on your best year.
On a split, the better you do, the more you pay. At AXEN the fee stops at a cap — and the coordinator comes with it.
A year, month by month
Where one $10,000 commission goes
One $10,000 commission before any cap. Monthly and platform fees are not per deal, so they are left out of every row. Published plans; splits are negotiated.

Which one are you?
I'm brand new
Start with AXEN University. A mentor works your first deals with you and only gets paid when you close. Your fees on a small deal can be $0 or $250.
I'm a top producer
Your split is a tax on your best year. Here it stops at a $6,000 cap, and a coordinator is on every file. Run your own number below.
I run a team
You set your own team splits. AXEN has a team plan with its own cap, and your people get the same Deal Desk, tools and training.
I'm at eXp or Real for rev share
AXEN pays a flat amount per level on every fee-paying closing, 5 levels deep, with no unlock rules. Read the full rules in the fine print — and note what we do not offer: stock.
I love my big brand
Your clients hire you. Keep more of every check and put it into your own brand, your own marketing, your own team.
I'm part-time
Small deals cost less, and the platform fee can come out of your first closing. Nothing is charged until your license is active here.
I do a lot of leases and referrals
10% of the gross, never more than $295 a deal. No file fee, no admin fee on top.
I'll move after I cap
Every closing between now and then is charged at your old split. That is the most expensive way to wait.
My broker says they'll match it
Ask for it in writing, and ask whether it's for everyone or only for you. A number that only holds while you're a flight risk isn't a plan.
I'm scared to switch
Fair. The switch is a checklist, not a leap. See it step by step below — your pendings, your listings and your license.
The switch, step by step

Onboarding calls 1–4. Portal, app, SkySlope and Lofty set up. Your IDX site goes live in about 3 days.
A named coordinator takes it. Your state broker reviews it.
Your first live training and your first Huddle behind you. Ask about your first Immersion.
Your earnings statement and cap ring show exactly where you stand. Your join link is ready if you want to build.
Where others win
No brokerage is best at everything. Here is where we are not.
eXp, Real, LPT and Epique award company stock. AXEN does not have a stock program.
LPT's Business Builder plan ($500 a deal to a $5,000 cap) and Fathom's EDGE plan can cost less on fees alone. Neither puts a coordinator on every file — add that cost back before you compare.
Real and LPT publish when rev share becomes yours to keep or will to family. AXEN rev share pays while your people stay active with AXEN.
Compass, Keller Williams and Coldwell Banker have more consumer name recognition.

Revenue share rules
- Five levels. Each level is paid a flat $100 per fee-paying closing when the closing agent is on Pro, $200 when on Elite.
- Paid on up to 12 fee-paying closings per agent per year. Not paid on deals under $1,000, leases, referrals, or state brokers' own deals.
- Pays while you and the closing agent are active with AXEN. If you leave, your seat stays with AXEN; it does not move up.
- Can be held while AXEN recovers costs it fronted for that agent, or while a compliance matter is open.
- AXEN may change the schedule with 15 days' written notice.
- This describes how rev share is calculated. It is not a promise or estimate of earnings.
Affiliated business disclosure
NEXA Lending, Agenta Title, Turbo Insurance and America's Preferred Home Warranty work with AXEN agents. An AXEN owner holds an ownership interest in NEXA. Your client is never required to use any of them, may shop other providers, and you are never paid a fee for referring a client. Affiliated business arrangement disclosures are provided where the law requires.

Questions
Is there a contract?
There is no long-term contract to stay. You can leave. Some add-ons (Reverse Sign-On, FSBO.com, Senior Planning) have their own terms — read them before you opt in.
What does it cost to start?
$0 to sign. Nothing is charged until your license is active with AXEN, and you can take the platform fee out of your first closing.
Is the coordinator really included?
Yes, on every sale. It is paid out of the $295 admin fee, which most agents pass to the client.
Do I have to use NEXA, Agenta, Turbo or the warranty?
No. Your client chooses. You are never paid for sending them, and affiliated-business disclosures are given where required.
What happens to my rev share if I leave?
Your seat stays with AXEN. Rev share pays while you and the agent who closed are active with AXEN.
Can AXEN change the plan?
The agreement lets AXEN change the schedule with 15 days' written notice. You will always see it in writing first.
Which states?
Ask on the call. The portal's 'Where we can sell' page lists every state, board and license.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. Team leads set their own splits. There is a team plan with its own AXEN cap.
Do I keep my own leads?
Yes. 100%. AXEN company leads are opt-in and only those carry the 25% fee.
When does my cap reset?
On your anniversary with AXEN, not January 1.
What if a deal pays under $1,000?
The file fee is $0. From $1,000 to $2,499 it is $250.
What do leases and referrals cost?
10% of the gross commission, never more than $295. No file fee and no admin fee on top.
How do I get paid?
At closing, by title directly or by AXEN as soon as funds arrive. Your CDA is built in the portal and due 3 days before closing.
Can I be paid to my LLC?
Yes, with a W-9 in the entity's name.
Can I get an advance on a pending commission?
AXEN works with an outside funder and signs the authorization. AXEN does not lend.
Who handles my paperwork?
A Deal Desk coordinator on every sale. You can pick one from the coordinator directory.
Who answers my contract questions?
The licensed state broker for your state.
What CRM and website do I get?
Lofty CRM and your own IDX website, set up in about 3 days, plus SkySlope for forms and compliance.
What training is there?
AXEN University, the monthly Immersion mastermind, Level Up Live, weekly live Zoom trainings and 40+ how-to guides with video.
Does rev share have unlock rules?
No. Level 1 is paid from the first fee-paying closing of an agent you bring in.
What if someone I brought in leaves?
Rev share on that agent stops when they are no longer active with AXEN.
Can I send a client to another state?
Yes. Use the agent-to-agent referral map. You set the fee; the other agent accepts, counters or passes.
Are there late-file penalties?
Broker policy allows one only on files a reviewer approves. None has been approved.
