Estimate only, for comparison. Assumes $100 per month plus $99 per closed transaction and no percentage split at CapTex. It does not include MLS dues, association dues, lockbox or Supra fees, or your own business costs, which you pay either way. This is not a projection or a guarantee of income.
Move the sliders to match your own production. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is saved.
Fit
Who CapTex is for, and who it is not for
A flat fee only beats a split once you are closing consistently. Better to know that now than after three months of membership fees.
A good fit if you
- Hold an active Texas license, or have one in process
- Generate your own business and feel the split on every cheque
- Work the Austin metro, greater Houston, or both
- Want to keep your own brand, your own clients and your own listings
Probably not a fit if you
- Are looking for a brokerage to hand you leads or appointments
- Want day-to-day coaching or structured new-agent training
- Close very little, where a low annual plan may cost you less
- Need a desk, a team structure or in-office support
If that is you we will say so, rather than sign you up.
Pricing
One membership. No percentage split.
CapTex membership
- No percentage commission split
- No desk fee and no franchise fee
- No monthly transaction minimum
- Month to month. See membership and cancellation terms.
Membership begins only after you apply, have a 30-minute fit call and are approved. Nothing is charged before that.
How that compares to a split
On a $9,000 commission you would keep $8,901 at CapTex against $6,300 on a 70/30 split. A flat fee does not scale with your production and a split does, so the gap widens the more you close.

What the fee covers
What is included, and what you pay separately
Low cost only means something if you know exactly where the line sits. Here is ours.
Included in the $100
- Texas broker sponsorship and license hang
- Errors and omissions insurance, carried and paid for by the brokerage on every transaction
- Transaction management and Texas contract forms through the brokerage
- Broker review of your transaction files
- On-demand market analysis
- A CapTex email address, an agent page on captexrealty.com, and the preferred partner network
- Keep your own branding, or use CapTex branding
You pay these separately
- MLS dues — Unlock MLS / ABOR in Austin, HAR in Houston, paid by you directly to the MLS
- REALTOR® association dues — local, state and national, paid by you directly
- Lockbox and Supra key fees, paid by you directly
- Your own business costs: marketing, CRM, photography, signage, license renewal and continuing education
- The E&O deductible, only if a claim is ever made on one of your transactions. It is $2,500 per claim and is the agent's responsibility. The premium is ours.
The same costs you carry at any Texas brokerage. Listed so the $100 is not mistaken for your whole cost of doing business.

Application, qualification and onboarding
Four steps. Payment happens at the end, not the beginning.

The brokerage
Check us before you commit
CapTex Realty is a licensed Texas brokerage operating under a registered assumed name with TREC. You can verify any Texas broker or agent license yourself through the TREC license holder search, and we would rather you did.
Every transaction file is reviewed by the broker before closing, and errors and omissions coverage applies to your transactions at no additional fee. Required disclosures and full brokerage details are on the disclosures page; commercial terms are on the membership terms page.
Named lender, title, legal and transaction-coordination partners are available to your clients, listed by name so you can check them yourself before recommending anyone.
Next step
See what a no-split brokerage would actually cost you
Send us your numbers and we will come back with a confidential, side-by-side comparison against what you pay now. If it is not clearly better for you, we will say so.
The form takes about two minutes. If you would rather just talk, book straight into the calendar. Either way, no payment is taken and no obligation is created at this stage. Prefer to call? 512-810-9685. Prefer email? join@captexrealty.com.
