Serving Austin & HoustonNo monthly minimums Cancel anytimeE&O included
Do I really keep 100% of my commission?

Yes. You pay a flat $100 monthly membership and a flat $99 broker-compliance fee per closed transaction. Everything above that is yours. There are no percentage splits.

What does the monthly fee actually cover?

Texas broker sponsorship and license hang, E&O insurance on every transaction, full transaction management with dotloop including unlimited e-signatures, a professional @captexrealty.com email address, direct broker access 24/7, the full Texas forms library for both metros, the preferred partner network, and your own agent page on our MLS-powered consumer site.

Are there desk fees, franchise fees, or monthly minimums?

No. There are no desk fees, no franchise fees, and no monthly minimums.

Can I keep my own branding and my own clients?

Yes. You can keep your own brand or use CapTex branding. Your clients are your clients.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. There is no long-term contract and you can cancel at any time.

How long does it take to switch over?

Days rather than weeks in most cases. You apply, have a quick 15-minute call with your broker, and we handle the TREC sponsorship transfer with you start to finish.

Which MLS boards do you cover?

Unlock MLS / ABOR for the Austin metro and surrounding Hill Country, and HAR for greater Houston and the surrounding counties. You can work either market, or both, under a single sponsorship.

Is E&O insurance included or extra?

Included. Errors and omissions coverage applies to your transactions at no additional cost, with no separate E&O bill and no add-on fee.

Do I have to pay for transaction management software?

No. Full transaction management and unlimited e-signatures are provided through CapTex's dotloop Business+ account. There is no separate software bill.

What if I need help with contracts or a difficult closing?

You contact your broker directly. CapTex is run by a licensed, actively selling broker who handles contract questions, tricky closings, and strategy personally. Every file also receives broker compliance review.

Is there transaction coordinator support?

Yes, as an optional low-cost add-on. It is billed at closing and waived if your deal does not close, so there is no risk if a transaction falls through.

Is the annual plan cheaper?

Yes. Membership is $100 per month, or $1,000 per year, which works out to two months free.

At what production level does the flat fee make sense?

At roughly three or more closings a year, a full-time agent typically comes out ahead on the flat-fee model compared to a traditional 70/30 split. The more you close, the wider that gap gets, because a flat fee does not scale with your production.
