How are transaction (post cap) fees split between Team Leader and Team Member?

Once capped, the post cap closing fee is split proportionally between you and all other participants on the transaction. 

If you are on a team, the Team Leader and Team Member based on their agreement. If the team member and team lead typically split their transactions 50-50, the transaction fee will also be split 50-50. If they typically split their transactions 30-70, the transaction fee will also be split 30-70.

The same is true if you are working with another Real agent on a transaction. If you capped, your post cap closing fee will be split proportionately between you and any other member on the team.
