Explore Our StandardBrokerage Model
A brokerage model designed to support growth.
The economics of a brokerage relationship matter. They should also be understandable.
Explore the Brokerage ModelAt J Bowen & Company, the annual brokerage cap is $4,500.
Each affiliated agent begins the brokerage term with a $4,500 annual brokerage commitment, with flexible options for satisfying that amount through annual payment, monthly payment, commission earnings, or another arrangement provided by the brokerage.
Personally generated business helps agents work toward meeting the annual cap under their current written agreement. Brokerage referred opportunities may include a negotiated split based on the agent's experience, readiness, and the specific opportunity.
Once the $4,500 annual brokerage cap has been reached, the agent keeps 100% of commission earned for the remainder of that brokerage term, subject to the written agreement and any separately applicable charges.
We also welcome established real estate teams and team leaders who are looking for a brokerage structure that better supports how their team operates. Team leaders are encouraged to reach out to discuss customized brokerage arrangements, team specific accommodations, and opportunities designed around the needs of their organization.
Our goal is simple: provide a flexible brokerage structure that gives agents and teams room to grow, build their business, and keep more of what they earn.
Let's Talk
Let's have a confidential conversation.
Changing brokerages is a business decision.
It deserves a better conversation than a recruiting pitch.
Tell us where you are in your career, what you are trying to build, what is working, and what you would most like to change about your current brokerage relationship.
The goal is not to convince every agent to join us. The goal is to determine whether there is genuine alignment.
“The business you build should allow you to serve people well, stand behind your work, and keep becoming the professional your clients need.”

Fit filter
This may not be the right brokerage for everyone.
We are a fit for professionals who want to be accountable, communicate directly, keep learning, and build a business that earns trust over time. If the only question is who offers the lowest split, we may not be the right conversation. If you are asking what kind of business and what kind of reputation you want to build, we should talk.
You value service before shortcuts.
You want feedback, access, and responsibility.
You are building for the long term.
You believe how you work is part of what you sell.
