If you were an existing ProTeam prior to summer 2025, you may have our old default setting of having Proration ON. With this setting the Compliance and Broker Review (CBR) Fee is allocated proportionally on each deal based on the commission split.
However, ProTeams now has the option of no longer automatically prorating the Compliance and Broker Review (CBR) Fee or the Post Cap Transaction Fees with the Team Leader. Team Leaders will no longer automatically pay any portion of the CBR Fee or Post Cap Transaction Fee, unless they choose to cover a percentage of the Team Member’s fees.
Please contact Teams@therealbrokerage.com to make the switch. More transparency, more flexibility.
When we update your Team Settings to reflect the Proration being OFF, It Affects Who Pays the Following Fees per Transaction:
- CBR Fee of $40 ($50 in the U.S. only beginning 9/1/2026)
- Post-Cap Transaction Fee (once Cap to Real is met)
What This Change Means:
✅ Only Team Member(s) on the deal will pay the amount(s) of the CBR and Post-Cap Transaction Fee as they apply:
- 1 Team Member on the Deal? They will pay the full CBR Fee and the Post-Cap Transaction Fee (unless the Team Leader is covering a percentage of one/both of these fees on their behalf - see below).
- Multiple Team Members on the Deal? They will have the CBR Fee and the Post-Cap Transaction Fee prorated between them (unless the Team Leader is covering a percentage of one/both of these fees on their behalf - see below).
✅ Team Leaders are able to receive the credit toward their account for paying a Team Member's CBR and/or Post-Cap Transaction Fee on their behalf:
- If the Team Leader has chosen to cover a percentage of their Team Member's CBR and/or Post-Cap Transaction Fee, the Team Leader will still be charged those amounts. But, now the Team Leader will receive the credit toward their account for Elite Agent status on the Post-Cap Transaction Fee.
📌Reminder regarding credit towards Elite Agent status: Whoever pays the Post-Cap Transaction Fee will receive the credit towards Elite Agent status.
If you choose to pay the CBR Fee on behalf of your teammates, here is how it will appear on your transaction:
You can change whether you cover the CBR fee on behalf of your teammates in the Leader Fees section of your ProTeam: How to Setup your ProTeam and Adjust the Fees Per Transaction
✅ This Applies to New Transactions Only: To ensure a smooth transition, this configuration will only apply to newly created transactions after your ProTeam is updated. Nothing currently in flight in reZEN will be impacted.
