| Sale price | Transaction fee per side |
|---|---|
| $0 – $99,999 | $199 |
| $100,000 – $199,999 | $299 |
| $200,000 – $299,999 | $399 |
| $300,000 – $399,999 | $499 |
| $400,000 – $499,999 | $599 |

Less overhead. More commission. More backup.
We keep the brokerage simple in three places that eat up an agent’s week: the paperwork, the learning curve and lead conversion.
File management without the headaches
Files, compliance review and broker approvals all run online through Paperless Pipeline, a system simple enough that most agents are comfortable in it within the first hour:
- One page per deal for every document, task and note.
- Checklists for each transaction type, so you always know what’s left before closing.
- Automatic reminders tied to your contract deadlines.
- Transaction support staff on every deal to answer your questions and help keep your file compliant.
Get paid from escrow at closing or by direct deposit through the brokerage. Bring your own TC, hire a dedicated coordinator through Rise Realty for a small fee, or manage your files yourself. It’s your call.
Training that doesn’t cost extra
Getting better at this business shouldn’t come with a monthly bill. Included on every sales plan:
- Monday training live on Zoom at 9 a.m., covering contracts, market news, lead generation and mindset. Recorded if you miss it.
- Jeff Lobb’s Coach 52 for on-demand coaching, plus its marketing center for social graphics, simple Facebook ads, farming plans and direct mail.
- An online office open around the clock, with marketing resources, compliance materials, scripts, drip campaigns and recorded trainings.
- The 30-Day Success Plan to get newly licensed agents off to a fast start.

A lead pipeline you own
Paid lead sources keep changing their rules. A sustainable career runs on a pipeline you build yourself. To help you build it, Rise Realty offers the Lofty AI operating system as an option for a small fee. You get automated follow-up by text, email and phone, plus AI agents that work your database around the clock:
- Sales Agent responds to new leads, qualifies them and books appointments 24/7.
- Social Agent plans your posts and writes the captions so your channels stay active.
Want to add fuel? Optional ad packages send new leads straight into your Lofty funnel.

Cloud-based, without the split, the downline or the help desk
Most other cloud-based brokerages take a commission split until you hit an annual cap, build around revenue share and recruiting, and route your questions through help desks, sponsors and team leads. Rise Realty keeps it simple: one flat fee per closing, no downline, and a direct line to experienced brokers.
| Rise Realty | Typical national cloud brokerage | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | One all-inclusive fee per closing, from $199. 100% commission from your first deal. | A percentage split on each deal until you reach an annual cap, then smaller per-deal fees. |
| Monthly and yearly fees | None on our sales plans. | Varies by company and plan. Some charge monthly technology fees, annual fees or both. |
| Revenue share | None. We sell real estate, not downlines. No pressure to recruit your friends, and no promises that other agents’ production will make you rich. | Usually a multi-level revenue share, which can put the focus on recruiting agents instead of closing deals. |
| Who you call on a Saturday | One of our brokers, directly, on their own phone, seven days a week. Not a sponsor, a team lead or a ticket queue. | Often a support desk, your sponsor or a team lead. |
| How it’s managed | One brokerage statewide, run by two highly experienced brokers under one set of policies. No regional offices with different rules, and no layers of team leads between you and a broker. Keep the board and MLS you already use; we belong to more than 45 associations. | Usually split across regional offices or a state broker team, so policies and answers can vary depending on who you reach, and day-to-day guidance often gets passed down to sponsors and team leads. |
Every brokerage changes its plans from time to time, so check each company’s current published plan before you decide. Want the math on your own last 12 months? Book a call and we’ll run it side by side.
Work from anywhere
Work from home, the car or wherever your clients are, with a broker a phone call away and the board and MLS you already use. Rise Realty agents are working in communities from San Diego to Truckee right now.

What agents say after they switch
Joining Rise Realty has been the best decision I’ve made for my business!! The level of support is unreal!! Travis has been very supportive and answers all my questions even on Sunday evenings. He offers his help and shares knowledge right away!! The business model here is flexible and easy to work with. I am so grateful to Travis and his team 🙂
I don’t think I’ve been THIS happy at a brokerage in almost 20 years. Travis is an amazing and attentive broker and leader.
I have a great experience with Rise Realty, and very impressed with its mentor program. Beside the broker fees are very clear and reasonable, it also offers lots of support and resources for a new agent like me. I have received lots of help and guidance from Travis, the broker, also the owner of the company. He always responds back in promptly manner by text/call/email or even Zoom to explain and answer all of my questions. He also takes time to review all forms/terms before I send them out to other parties. That makes me feel very supported and confident in every transaction. Without his and the company, I could not close the deals smoothly. I highly recommend Rise Realty for all real estate agents, especially for newbies.
Great support, not expensive to be a part of, has all the tools needed to be successful!
Rise Realty has been an absolute game-changer for me! My broker has been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always goes above and beyond to provide helpful insights and guidance.

My experience with Rise Realty has been GREAT !!! The support team including the broker have been very responsive on any questions and issues. There are many options on how you can set your business at Rise Realty. The days of an in office desk are over and staying in front of an virtual office is a trend. Rise Realty is THE place to hang my license
I’ve had an exceptional experience working with Travis and Rise Realty. Their unwavering support and expertise have been invaluable to both me and my clients.

Straight answers before you switch
What is a cloud-based real estate brokerage?
A cloud-based brokerage runs online instead of out of a physical office. Transactions, compliance review, training and broker support all happen remotely, so agents work from wherever their clients are and don’t pay for office space they don’t use.
Is Rise Realty a cloud-based brokerage?
Yes. Rise Realty is a cloud-based, online real estate brokerage operating throughout California since 2013. Agents work from wherever their clients are, while files, compliance review and broker approvals run online, and broker support is available seven days a week.
How much does Rise Realty charge agents?
One all-inclusive transaction fee per closing and no monthly or yearly fees on the sales plans. On the RISE 100 Program the fee starts at $199 and is capped at $999. Agents with 10+ transactions in the past 12 months pay a flat $595 on the PREMIER Program, and brokers with 12+ transactions in the past 12 months pay a flat $495 on the BROKER ASSOCIATES Program. Sales of $1.5 million and up add a $150 E&O supplement for each $500,000 band.
How is Rise Realty different from other cloud-based brokerages?
Most national cloud-based brokerages pay agents on a commission split up to an annual cap and offer revenue share for recruiting. Rise Realty is 100% commission from your first deal with one flat transaction fee per closing, no revenue share, and a California broker you can call directly seven days a week.
Can I hang my NMLS license at Rise Realty?
Yes. Rise Realty holds NMLS #2034819, so licensees with the DRE mortgage loan originator (MLO) endorsement can hang both their DRE license and their NMLS license here and originate loans as well as list and sell homes. Talk to a broker about how loan files are handled before you move.
Can I keep my own brand at Rise Realty?
Yes. Rise Realty offers flexible branding options. You can market under your own name and brand, lead with the Rise Realty brand, or use a mix of both. California advertising rules still require Rise Realty’s name and license information on your marketing, and we’ll help you set it up so you stay compliant.
Does Rise Realty have revenue share?
No. Rise Realty is a real estate company that sells real estate, not downlines. There’s no revenue share, no pressure to recruit other agents and no pitch about getting rich off someone else’s production. You focus on your clients and keep more of every commission.
What training does Rise Realty offer agents?
Every sales plan includes live training on Zoom every Monday at 9 a.m. (recorded if you miss it), on-demand coaching and a marketing center through Jeff Lobb’s Coach 52, a 24/7 online office with scripts, drip campaigns and compliance materials, and the 30-Day Success Plan for newly licensed agents. Agents can also book one-on-one planning time with one of our brokers.
What lead generation tools does Rise Realty give agents?
Rise Realty offers the Lofty AI operating system as an option for a small fee. It includes automated follow-up by text, email and phone, and its AI agents work your database around the clock: the Sales Agent responds to and qualifies new leads and books appointments, and the Social Agent plans posts and writes captions. Optional ad packages can feed new leads into your Lofty funnel, so you build a pipeline you own instead of relying on paid referral leads.
What transaction management system does Rise Realty use?
Rise Realty runs files, compliance review and broker approvals through Paperless Pipeline. Each deal has its own page with documents, tasks and notes, checklists for the transaction type and automatic reminders tied to contract deadlines. Transaction support staff help on every deal with questions and file compliance, and agents can bring their own TC, hire a dedicated coordinator through Rise Realty for a small fee, or manage their files themselves.
Can I keep my transaction coordinator?
