Every brokerage advertises the part of its structure that sounds best. These comparisons put the whole model on the table — split, cap, royalty, desk and technology charges, and per-transaction costs — so you can see where the money actually goes.
Fee structures vary by office and change over time; treat these as general comparisons and confirm current numbers with the brokerage. Then run your own production through the take-home calculator.
