100% Commission Real Estate Brokerage · Four Rivers, TXThe builders, the two metros, and now the board itself: everything on the corridor is changing. $200 a closing isn’t.
Here’s what certain looks like: $99 a month, $200 a closing,
from San Marcos to Seguin.
The corridor between Austin and San Antonio is being built, bought and repriced at once. Comal and Hays keep landing on the list of the fastest-growing counties in the country, builders open a new section every quarter, both metros pull on the market from opposite ends, and now even the board is changing, with Four Rivers merging into SABOR. A Gruene river lot and a Kyle new build take different months to move. The work is real. What you can’t know is which builder opens next, which metro’s buyers show up this month, or what the merger does to your dues.
You already carry that. Every agent on the corridor does: the new section that undercuts your resale listing, the Austin buyer who vanishes when rates tick up, the river in May, the month that starts at zero. The stress isn’t the showings. It’s that the ground keeps moving under the business, and this year even the board moved. 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 check that arrives on the office’s schedule.
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 Four Rivers membership, and SABOR’s when the merger completes, from the day you’re onboarded. Call him before you fill out anything.

What a 100% commission brokerage costs in the Four Rivers area
The fastest-changing stretch of Texas, right down to the board, and a split that changes with every closing on it. $200 doesn’t.
New Braunfels’ 78130 is the largest owner-occupied ZIP on the corridor at $323,000, Seguin’s 78155 sits at $267,000 and Cibolo’s 78108 at $338,000, while 78132 north of New Braunfels tops the market near $620,000. Comal County’s typical home is about $483,000, Guadalupe County’s $307,000 and Hays County’s $460,000 (U.S. Census ACS 2024). A 70/30 split scales with every one of those numbers: $2,909 off a typical New Braunfels closing, $2,400 off a Seguin sale, $5,583 off one in 78132, and the work in between was the same showings and the same contract. A flat fee ignores the price. It’s $200, whatever the ZIP.
At Texas Ally you keep $2,709 more on the typical New Braunfels sale and $5,383 more north of town. Still, the number that matters is yours: twenty closings a year at a split is roughly $58,000 gone; at a flat fee it’s $4,000. Before you talk to anyone, put your own last twelve months in the calculator below; the average doesn’t close deals, you do. The alternative is another year of builder sections and relocation buyers from both metros, and handing off a third of each one.
The market will keep moving the way the corridor does, faster than anywhere in Texas. One thing in it won’t move, and it’s the fee: $99 a month you can budget, $200 a closing you can see coming, and a managing broker whose office is 45 minutes up the interstate. You keep your board through the merger — Texas Ally is a member broker of the Four Rivers Association of REALTORS®, founded in 1960, five Central Texas counties, a CTXMLS shareholder, and of SABOR, which Four Rivers is now merging into after both memberships approved the agreement in 2026 — and your MLS access carries over with dues still billed to you directly, whichever name is on the board when the transition finishes. One variable left in the business, and it’s yours: closing.
Where this applies: Four Rivers covers five Central Texas counties on the Central Texas MLS, so the same $99 and $200 covers Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Caldwell and Gonzales — New Braunfels, Gruene, Canyon Lake, Spring Branch, Seguin, Cibolo, Schertz, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Wimberley and Lockhart — on one subscription. Four Rivers is merging into SABOR (agreement signed April 2026, approved by both memberships, transition underway, MLS operations separate for now); Texas Ally is a member broker of both, so nothing about your sponsorship changes when it completes. Listings inside the Austin metro sit on Unlock MLS, and Texas Ally is a member there too, so agents who work the Austin end add an MLS-only membership rather than switching boards. Our own directory tracks 559 HOAs across Comal, Guadalupe and Hays, which is where your resale-certificate questions start.
How to switch your sponsoring broker in the Four Rivers area
- Call Yamila at the office, 512.763.2559, with last year’s closings. She’ll walk you through the program and the math for your production, not the average.
- Request the sponsorship change in the TREC REALM Portal. We accept it the same day; Four Rivers (or SABOR, once the merger completes) moves your MLS access.
- Close your next deal, pay $200, keep the rest.

Four Rivers 100% commission FAQ
What corridor agents ask before they move their license: the SABOR merger, which MLS, volume, pending contracts, river lots, and what a closing actually costs here.
Four Rivers is merging into SABOR. What does that mean for my board and MLS?
The two boards signed a merger agreement in April 2026 and both memberships have approved it; the transition runs over the coming months, and until it completes member services and MLS operations continue as they are, so your CTXMLS access doesn’t change today. Texas Ally is a member broker of Four Rivers and of SABOR, so your sponsorship is covered on either side of the merger, and dues stay billed to you directly by whichever board you hold. Our Four Rivers guide will carry the timeline as it’s announced. The board’s own site is www.fourriversrealtors.com.
I string together a lot of closings. Does the fee go up with volume?
No, and volume is where the model pays off most. The membership is $99 a month whether you close one deal or ten, and each closing costs a flat $200 (leases $50). Twenty-four sales in a year is $4,800 in transaction fees plus $1,188 in membership. The same year at a $400,000 average price on a 70/30 split sends more than $86,000 to the brokerage. The only add-on is a small E&O fee on sales above $900,000.
My deals run from Kyle to Schertz. Which MLS do I actually need?
For the corridor itself, Four Rivers and the Central Texas MLS cover New Braunfels, San Marcos, Seguin and the surrounding counties. Listings inside the Austin metro sit on Unlock MLS through ABoR, and San Antonio listings on SABOR’s MLS, so agents who work both ends usually hold a secondary membership on one side. Texas Ally sponsors all three; dues are billed to you by each board.
I have three contracts pending. Should I switch now or wait until they fund?
Usually wait, unless your current broker agrees otherwise. Pending contracts belong to the broker who held them when they were written, and the commission on them is paid under that broker’s agreement with you. Some brokers will release a pending deal to a departing agent; many won’t. Time the sponsorship change for just after your last one funds, and talk to us before you submit anything in the TREC REALM Portal so nothing lands in the gap.
A lot of my listings are river lots and Canyon Lake. Who handles the floodplain and disclosure questions?
The managing broker, Juston Martinez, at 512.586.6920, and the review team that checks every contract before closing. Seller’s disclosure items on prior flooding, the flood notice that goes with Texas contracts, floodplain status on a Guadalupe River lot and what a buyer needs to know about flood insurance are the questions that come up on this stretch of I-35, and they go to people, not a ticket queue.
What does a typical New Braunfels 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 $323,200 New Braunfels home a 3% side is $9,696: a 70/30 split sends $2,909 to the brokerage, Texas Ally takes $200. On a $620,300 sale north of town the split takes $5,583; we still take $200.
How do I change my sponsoring broker in the Four Rivers area?
Request the sponsorship change in the TREC REALM Portal; we accept it, usually the same day. Tell Four Rivers 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, 45 minutes up I-35, and he answers 512.586.6920 himself.
