Top Reasons Agents Switch to Zero-Fee Brokerages in Maricopa County
February 20265 min readIvy Realty
Discover why hundreds of Arizona agents are leaving traditional brokerages behind. Learn how zero-fee and low-cost brokerages help you keep more commission while getting full support.
The Traditional Brokerage Problem
Traditional brokerages in Phoenix and Maricopa County typically take 20-50% of your commission through splits, plus charge desk fees ($200-500/month), technology fees ($100-300/month), and franchise fees. On a $10,000 commission, you might only take home $4,000-6,000 after all the fees.
The Zero-Fee Alternative
Low-fee brokerages like Ivy Realty offer a different model. With our 80/20 plan, you keep 80% with zero monthly fees. With our 100% plan, you keep everything for just $25/month and $395 per transaction. That same $10,000 commission? You keep $8,000-10,000.
What You Still Get
Contrary to what traditional brokerages claim, low-fee brokerages still provide broker support, MLS access, transaction coordination, and training. The difference is we don't charge you for expensive office space you don't need.
The Bottom Line
Agents who switch to zero-fee brokerages typically save $10,000-30,000+ per year. That's money you can reinvest in your business, your marketing, or your life.
