The opportunity in a slower market
A downturn can be a useful time to improve how your business earns and get established in a new agency. Start with your numbers and your actual workload.
01 · Your earnings target
At 93%, eligible agents retain more of each commission before applicable fees than under a lower split. That could reduce the completed sales needed to meet an earnings target. Compare all costs using your own figures.
02 · Your learning window
If your pipeline is quieter, use the space to learn the CRM, practise everyday processes and prepare your brand. Agree training around your live campaigns. Slower sales do not necessarily mean less work.

GST exclusive. Service fee: 7% of GCI, capped at $20,000 across a 12-month period. The cap-reaching sale is charged only the remaining service fee. The $695 admin fee per sale and $250 monthly fee are additional, continue after the cap and do not count towards it. This comparison covers your first 12 months with @realty and assumes identical sales. Per-sale figures compare commission fees only; annual figures include the full $3,000 platform and services fee and the other current-agency fees you enter. Your service-fee cap resets every 12 months from your joining date, when the 7% service fee starts again until the new period’s cap is reached. Other costs not entered are excluded; a blank optional fees field is treated as $0.

Before you make the move
Possibly. Retaining a larger share can reduce the completed sales needed to reach an earnings target compared with a lower split, after costs. The worked example shows one scenario; your inputs may produce a different result. It does not guarantee fewer listings, hours or a particular income.
If your sales volume grows, a higher retained share could make that activity more rewarding. The 12-month comparison shows the possibility using your entered sales volume and constant commission per sale. Neither a market recovery nor your future sales are guaranteed.
If your pipeline is quieter, you may have more room to practise before another busy period. Start with your everyday tasks and agree training around active clients. Slower transactions can still mean a demanding workload, so choose your timing carefully.
Discuss your starting point, business priorities and the routines you want to develop. Ask which coaching program fits your needs and how to access it. Explore @realty’s performance coaching. Coaching supports your effort; it does not guarantee sales results.
Check existing agreements, ownership, permissions and pending commissions before transferring records or announcing a move. Prepare your profiles, templates and client communications. Ask about branding options, eligibility and costs.
Use the plan to identify what needs to change before a move would make sense. An enquiry does not commit you to joining. The calculator shows less favourable results too, including when your current agency retains more at the figures you enter.
