Associate/Partner Compensation
Keller Williams has an incredible commission split that actually allows agents to earn more than 100% of their commissions! How is this possible? It is possible through profit share and our capped commission structure. In fact, in 2006 over $50,000,000 of profit share was paid to our KW associate partners.
Althea is proof positive of the power of profit share. She obviously earned far above the commission split that was paid to her broker. There are many thousands of KW associates who profit share each and every month. In fact, hundreds of agents continue to be paid through the profit share system even though they are no longer with KW or even when they are no longer selling real estate.
The commission split at KW is the best in the industry, even if the profit share system were not in the equation. KW believes in having a partnership with the associates and has created the “capped” commission model. In doing so, KW has devised a low risk, high reward compensation package that minimizes risk while allowing the agent to retain the lion’s share of the commission. Every agent at KW has the opportunity to enjoy a 100% split on their transaction commissions after reaching their “cap.”
