100% Commission Real Estate Brokerage · San Antonio, TXIn a sea of change, some things in San Antonio still stand. Your brokerage cost should be one of them.
Here’s one that hasn’t moved: $99 a month, $200 a closing, no split.
And a managing broker who still answers his own phone.
San Antonio is a relocation market. Orders come every summer, buyers arrive from pricier metros, and a closing here takes more showings and more weeks than it does in a hot market. The work is real. What you can’t know in January is how many of those relocations land in your lap, or which ones close.
That’s the part that wears on people. Not the work; the not knowing. Every summer starts over with a new set of orders, any deal can come apart in week three, and most of what decides whether this is a good year gets decided somewhere else. Agents learn to carry that. What they shouldn’t have to carry is a brokerage that adds to it: a cost that moves with the market, a broker you can’t reach, a check that comes when the office gets around to it.
Texas Ally has sponsored Texas agents since 2012, through the 2018 rate climb, the 2020 scramble and the 2022–24 reset, and the brokerage’s job hasn’t changed in any of them: be the steady part. One flat fee that hasn’t moved. A managing broker, Juston Martinez, who publishes his direct line, 512.586.6920. A full-time office behind every agent in the state, and your SABOR access from the day you’re onboarded. Call him before you fill out anything.

What a 100% commission brokerage costs in San Antonio
Two markets share one board here. The split treats them the same. So does the flat fee.
The far West Side — 78245, 78254 and 78253 — holds the largest owner-occupied ZIPs in the city at $260,000 to $360,000, while Stone Oak (78258) and Alamo Heights (78209) sit near $480,000 to $500,000. The typical home across Bexar County’s ZIPs is about $221,000 (U.S. Census ACS 2024). A 70/30 split scales with every one of those numbers: $1,989 off a typical closing, $4,329 off a Stone Oak sale, and the work in between was the same showings and the same contract. A flat $200 is the same on all of them.
At Texas Ally you keep $1,789 more on the typical sale and about $4,129 more on Stone Oak. Still, the number that matters is yours: twenty closings a year at a split is roughly $40,000 gone; at a flat fee it’s $4,000. That’s why the calculator below is worth two minutes before you talk to anyone. The alternative is another PCS season of moving families in and out of Joint Base San Antonio and handing off a third of each one.
The market will keep turning over the way a military town does. What you pay Texas Ally won’t: $99 a month you can budget, $200 a closing you can see coming, and a managing broker whose number hasn’t changed. You keep SABOR — Texas Ally is a member broker of the San Antonio Board of REALTORS®, organized in 1910 and now 13,000+ REALTORS® across 13 South Texas counties — and your MLS access carries over with dues still billed to you directly. Which leaves one variable in your business, the one you’re good at: closing.
Where this applies: SABOR’s MLS covers 13 South Texas counties, so the same $99 and $200 covers Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe and Kendall — Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, the far West Side, Converse, Universal City, Helotes, Schertz, Cibolo, Boerne and most of New Braunfels — on one subscription. Our own directory tracks 1,422 HOAs in Bexar County, third-most of any Texas county, which is where your resale-disclosure questions start.

San Antonio 100% commission FAQ
What San Antonio agents ask before they move their license: the board, what a closing actually costs here, the slow-month question, and who picks up the phone.
Do I keep SABOR and my MLS access when I move to Texas Ally?
Yes. Texas Ally is a SABOR member broker, so your board membership and MLS subscription carry over with the sponsorship change and SABOR keeps billing dues to you directly. SABOR was organized in 1910, helped found Texas REALTORS® in 1920, and covers 13 South Texas counties. Our SABOR membership guide covers dues, MLS access and how to transfer.
What does a typical San Antonio closing cost me here versus a 70/30 split?
A flat $200 per sale and $50 per lease, plus the $99 monthly membership. On the typical $221,000 Bexar County home a 3% side is $6,630: a 70/30 split sends $1,989 to the brokerage, Texas Ally takes $200. On a $481,000 Stone Oak sale the split takes $4,329 and we still take $200. No cap, no desk fee, no franchise fee; the only add-on is a small E&O fee on sales above $900,000.
What happens in a slow month?
You pay $99, and the broker still picks up. The fee is the same in a dead month and a good one, so it’s something you plan around rather than find out about at closing. If you close fewer than two deals a year, a percentage arrangement really is cheaper, and Juston will tell you so on the phone.
Most of my buyers are military moving to Joint Base San Antonio. Anything different on VA or relocation deals?
Nothing on the brokerage side. VA purchases, relocation-company sales and PCS timelines close and pay out like any other deal at the same flat fee, with same-day payment by check or wire. Sponsorship is statewide, so a family that gets orders for Fort Cavazos or Corpus Christi can stay your client.
I work Comal and Guadalupe as much as Bexar. New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo: do I need another board?
Usually not. SABOR’s MLS covers 13 counties including Comal, Guadalupe and Kendall, so Schertz, Cibolo, Boerne and most of New Braunfels are already in your subscription. If your business is centered on New Braunfels or Seguin, the Four Rivers Association of REALTORS® can be added as an MLS-only membership rather than a switch.
How do I change my sponsoring broker in San Antonio?
Request the sponsorship change in the TREC REALM Portal; we accept it, usually the same day. Tell SABOR so your MLS access moves with you. If you have active listings or pending contracts, call Juston first so nothing gets interrupted. He’s in Austin, eighty miles up I-35, and he answers 512.586.6920 himself.
