The compensation plan, plainly.
No asterisks, no “ask me on the call” for the parts that are less flattering. Here's how the money works at Epique Realty — the same terms wherever you are, whoever sponsors you.
Structures compared
The right-hand column is a structure archetype, not a specific brokerage — terms vary too much by office and market for anyone to publish a competitor's as fact. Use the calculator with your own agreement.

The four pieces that build wealth
The cap, and what happens after
You pay 15% of each commission until you've paid your cap for the year, then you keep the rest. At a $15,000 starting cap and a $650,000 average sale at 2.5%, you'd cap in roughly your seventh closing. After that you keep 100% of every commission for the rest of your anniversary year. Why that trade can go either way →
Revenue share, five levels deep
When an agent you introduce closes a deal, Epique pays you from the company's 10% — not from that agent's commission. Five levels, no front-line production qualifier, no locked levels. It's real, it's slower than recruiting videos suggest, and it is entirely optional.
Company stock on six triggers
Shares are awarded for joining, your first closing, each anniversary, reaching cap, earning the Power Award, and attracting an agent. There's also a purchase option at a discount. Equity in a private company is not cash and carries real risk — treat it as upside, not as part of your budget.
The Power Award
Close 24 transactions or $10 million in volume in a year and you reach Power Award status, which lowers your ongoing costs and improves your revenue share position. It's the one production threshold in the plan that meaningfully changes your economics.
If you're bringing people with you
Unofficial
No team split, no production minimum, no reduced cap. Everyone stands alone on standard terms.
Traditional
$10,000 cap and $99/month per agent. This is how TKG is structured; TKG additionally takes 5% of gross commission on every deal, from the first one.
Power Team
$5,000 cap. Requires roughly $40M in volume or 140+ transactions annually across the team.
Family
$10,000 cap and $99/month per person, for spouses and family members working together.
Team economics and qualification thresholds are set by Epique and change from time to time. If you're moving a team, the details matter enormously and generic web copy is the wrong place to settle them — bring your roster and your numbers to a call and we'll work through the actual structures together.
