If you have been exposed to Keller Williams Realty in any capacity, you have probably heard the term CAP used.  The CAP is referring to the maximum amount a KW agent will pay the brokerage from their commission in a rolling calendar year.  The CAP at KW Coachella Valley is $25,000 for individual agents.  

Royalty is also capped at Keller Williams Coachella Valley at $3,000. So the maximum amount a single agent will pay from commission in 12 months from the anniversary of your joining date would be $28,000.

If you are an individual agent, once you have reached a little over $3.3M in volume, or on average your 5th or 6th transaction in a rolling calendar year, you won’t pay another dollar from your commission to the brokerage for the rest of the year.  

Agents have saved thousands, often tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars from this financial model alone.

At KW Coachella Valley agents are at a 70/30 split, with a $25,000 cap.  Meaning agents receive 70% commission on any sale, the brokerage retains 30% until the brokerage receives $25,000 in a rolling calendar year.  Once the $25,000 cap is met, the agent receives 100% of their commission for the remainder of the year. 

Royalty is taken at 6% and capped at $3,000. So the maximum amount a single agent will pay from commission in 12 months from the anniversary of your joining date would be $28,000.

These fees may be a little more or less based on if you are licensed in Los Angeles or part of both the California Desert Association of Realtors (CDAR) and/or the Greater Palm Springs Realtors (GPSR) MLS Boards.
