High splits don’t build careers, support does.

Why the Best Real Estate Teams Are Built Around Agents—Not Splits

Commission splits dominate real estate recruiting conversations—but they’re rarely the factor that determines long-term success.

A high split loses its shine quickly when agents are responsible for paying for:

• Their own marketing

• Their own administrative support

• Their own systems and software

• Their own costly trial-and-error mistakes

What truly matters isn’t the percentage—it’s net income, efficiency, and sustainability.

The most successful real estate teams are built around agents, not numbers on a spreadsheet. They prioritize leverage, clarity, and support—helping agents close more deals with less friction and less burnout.

At The Freund Group, the focus is on creating real leverage. Instead of asking agents to do more on their own, the team provides structure, systems, and support that free agents to concentrate on what actually drives income: conversations, relationships, and exceptional client service.

When agents take an honest look at their business, many realize:

• Time is their most valuable asset

• Support directly impacts confidence and consistency

• Proven systems reduce stress and improve results

Choosing the right team isn’t about what you give up—it’s about what you gain.Agents who are rethinking what truly supports long-term success often find clarity by looking behind the scenes of how a team operates. A conversation with The Freund Group at FIV Realty can provide that perspective—without pressure, just insight.
