100% Commission Real Estate Brokerage · Austin, TXA 30% split costs more in Austin than anywhere else in Texas. A flat $200 costs the same.
On a typical Travis County sale, the split takes $4,959 a closing.
Here it’s $200, from a broker whose office is on South I-35.
Austin ran up faster than any metro in the country and came back down harder. Buyers who waited out 2022 came back to triple the inventory, a Westlake listing and a Pflugerville listing now take very different months to move, and the tech-relocation pipeline turns on and off with somebody else’s hiring plan. The work is real. What nobody can tell you is whether the next five years look like 2021 or 2023.
You already carry that. Every agent in Austin does: the pipeline that turns off with a hiring freeze, the Westlake listing that sits while Pflugerville moves, the month that starts at zero no matter how last month ended. The stress isn’t the showings. It’s that the ground keeps moving under the business. The one place that stress shouldn’t come from is your own brokerage, and at a lot of them it does: a cost that climbs when the market climbs, a broker behind a ticket queue, a commission check that arrives on the office’s schedule.
Steady is a thing a brokerage can actually be. Texas Ally has been it since 2012, through the 2018 rate climb, the 2020 scramble and the 2022–24 reset: the same flat fee the whole way, a managing broker who publishes his own number, Juston Martinez at 512.586.6920, a full-time office just a few miles from the Capitol behind every agent in the state, and your Unlock MLS access from the day you’re onboarded. Call him, or come by, before you fill out anything.

What a 100% commission brokerage costs in Austin
The swing is the story everyone tells about Austin. The number nobody budgets is what the split takes per closing here.
Pflugerville’s 78660 and Leander’s 78641 are the two largest owner-occupied ZIPs in the metro, at $412,000 and $480,000, with Cedar Park (78613) close behind near $496,000. Inside the city, 78704 and Northwest Hills sit above $900,000, and Tarrytown (78703) and Westlake (78746) pass $1.4 million. The typical home across Travis County’s 50 ZIPs is about $551,000 (U.S. Census ACS 2024). A 70/30 split scales with every one of those numbers: $4,959 off a typical closing, $3,708 off a Pflugerville sale, $13,449 off one in Westlake, and the work in between was the same showings and the same contract. $200 is $200 on every one of them.
At Texas Ally you keep $4,759 more on the typical Travis County sale and $3,508 more in Pflugerville. Still, the number that matters is yours: twenty closings a year at a split is roughly $99,000 gone in this county; at a flat fee it’s $4,000. The calculator below will do your last twelve months in two minutes, which is worth doing before you call anyone. The alternative is another cycle of relocation buyers and repriced listings, and handing off a third of each one.
The market will keep repricing itself the way Austin does. The fee here won’t: $99 a month you can budget, $200 a closing you can see coming, and a managing broker whose office is eight minutes from the Capitol. You keep ABoR — Texas Ally is a member broker of the Austin Board of REALTORS®, founded in 1926 and now 20,000+ REALTORS® across 18 Central Texas counties — and your Unlock MLS access carries over with dues still billed to you directly. Everything else in your business is still yours to win. The fee just stops being one of the things you have to.
Where this applies: ABoR’s Unlock MLS covers 18 Central Texas counties, so the same $99 and $200 covers Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop — downtown and East Austin, 78704, Westlake, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs and Lakeway — on one subscription, with shared data into Houston and San Antonio for relocation clients. Our own directory tracks 1,235 HOAs in Travis County and 626 more in Williamson, which is where your resale-certificate questions start.

Austin 100% commission FAQ
What Austin agents ask before they move their license: the board, what a closing actually costs here, the slow-market question, and whether the office is real.
Is there actually an Austin office, and can I meet the broker?
Yes. Texas Ally Real Estate Group is headquartered at 2211 S I-35, Suite 208, Austin, TX 78741, and the managing broker, Juston Martinez, works out of it, with a full-time office team behind every agent in the state. You can call 512.586.6920 or come by.
Do I keep ABoR and Unlock MLS when I move to Texas Ally?
Yes. Texas Ally is an ABoR member broker, so your board membership and Unlock MLS subscription (formerly ACTRIS) carry over with the sponsorship change, and ABoR keeps billing dues to you directly. ABoR was founded in 1926 and covers 18 Central Texas counties, with data sharing into HAR and SABOR. Our ABoR membership guide covers dues, MLS access and how to transfer.
What does a typical Austin 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 $551,000 Travis County home a 3% side is $16,530: a 70/30 split sends $4,959 to the brokerage, Texas Ally takes $200. On a $412,000 Pflugerville sale the split takes $3,708; on a $1.49 million Westlake sale it takes $13,449. We take $200 on all three. No cap, no desk fee, no franchise fee; the only add-on is a small E&O fee on sales above $900,000, which in this county you’ll hit more often than most.
Austin corrected hard. Does a flat fee still make sense when I’m closing fewer deals?
That’s when it matters most. The fee is $99 whether you close or not and $200 only when you do, so a slow quarter costs you less than a tank of gas a week and a strong one is yours. If you close fewer than two deals a year, a percentage arrangement really is cheaper, and Juston will tell you so on the phone.
I work Williamson and Hays as much as Travis. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Kyle: do I need another board?
No. Unlock MLS covers 18 Central Texas counties, so Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda and San Marcos are already in your subscription. If your business is centered on the Highland Lakes, we’re a member of that board too.
Who sponsors new agents in Austin? I just got my license.
We do, and the fee is the same. New agents get the same structured contract review, the same broker on the phone and the same back office as a twenty-year producer, plus onboarding that starts with your first listing or buyer. See the new-agent programs page for the details, then call Yamila at 512.763.2559; the first conversation is about whether this model fits how you plan to work.
How do I change my sponsoring broker in Austin?
Request the sponsorship change in the TREC REALM Portal; we accept it, usually the same day. Tell ABoR so your MLS access moves with you. If you have active listings or pending contracts, call Juston first so nothing gets interrupted. He’s here in Austin, and he answers 512.586.6920 himself.
