Enter the commission received before HomeBased fees. Do not enter the property’s sale price.

Include Standard-plan dual agency

Adds the posted $375 Standard-plan fee for this dual-agency transaction. Enter the combined gross commission for both sides above. The monthly plan’s dual-agency terms need a broker quote, so its transaction estimate requires a broker quote when this is selected.

See the formulas and assumptions
  • Standard: $615 per transaction, or 10% of gross when gross is less than $2,000. Add $375 for each dual-agency transaction.
  • 100% monthly plan: $399 per month plus $289 per closed transaction, or 10% of gross when gross is less than $2,000. The monthly fee continues even with no closings.
  • Both sales plans: add 0.70% of the portion of each gross commission above $10,000. Yearly affiliation is additional: $399 paid in full or $468 under the other posted payment options.
  • E.A.R.N.: $99 annual affiliation and $615 per completed referral; use 10% of gross referral compensation when it is $2,000 or less, plus the same 0.70% adjustment above $10,000. Enter your gross referral compensation, not the receiving agent’s entire commission.
  • Fees are rounded to cents per transaction. Results are per transaction and do not project income over a period of time or allocate recurring fees to a closing.
  • At exactly $2,000, the published sales plans use the regular fee; E.A.R.N. uses 10%. The monthly plan does not publish a dual-agency surcharge on these pages; ask the broker rather than treating an omitted charge as $0.
