Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the terms of the commitment?
One-year contract terms: $199/month for the first state the agent is licensed in + $99/month for each additional state.
For example, if the agent is licensed in 3 states but SWR is only licensed in 2 of those 3 states, the agent will: come on board for 2 states and pay $199/month plus $99. For the third state, the agent will remain with their current broker or shelf that license until SWR becomes licensed in that state.

17) What is the transaction fee and how is it calculated?
Sales – The minimal fee per residential or commercial transaction is always calculated based on the total amount of commission coming into the brokerage after closing. Please refer to the chart below for a detailed breakdown:
*$1,000 is the most an agent will ever pay!
Rentals – If it’s a rental transaction, the transaction fee will be 10% of the total commission coming into the brokerage.
18) What is a case-specific example of how the transaction fee will be calculated?
a. Sale Example – You, as the agent, sell a $400,000 home and have both sides of the deal. The total commission coming into SWR is $24,000.
i. Total Commission: Tier 3 (> or = $4,001 range)
ii. Transaction Fee Taken by SWR: $1,000
iii. Amount Agent Receives: $23,000 (because, again, there is no commission split!)
b. Rental Example – You, as the agent, rent a three-bedroom house for $2,000/month. The total commission coming into SWR is one month’s rent of $2,000.
i. Transaction Fee Calculation: 10% of the total commission
ii. Transaction Fee Taken by SWR: $200
iii. Amount Agent Receives: $1,800 (because, again, there is no commission split!)
19) How does SWR’s no-commission split/transaction fee structure compare to other brokerages?
Because of SWR’s no-commission split/tiered transaction fee structure outlined above, an agent will never pay more than $1,000 of total commission per sale transaction or 10% of total commission per rental transaction. This means that once joining SWR:
- 1 – An agent will never split their commission with the broker again, and
- 2 – Because the minimal fee per transaction is capped at $1,000, the larger the sale/rental, the more money (or larger percentage of total commission) the agent takes home.
*In the sale transaction example above, the SWR agent keeps 97.22 % of the total commission rather than 50%, thereby making an additional $17,000 (a 47.22% increase) with SWR.
*In the rental transaction example above, the SWR agent keeps 90% of the total commission rather than 50%, thereby making an additional $1,600 (a 40% increase) with SWR.
