The Real Questions
The questions worth asking.
What's the commission split and cap?
80/20 for Agents and Commercial Agents. Agents cap at $12,000; Commercial Agents cap at $15,000. Team Members run 80/20 to a $6,000 cap. Once you cap, you keep the rest of every commission.
Is there a revenue share program?
Yes — and we built it to be the best in the industry. Five levels deep, 10% at every level, no unlocking hurdles. You start earning the day your first recruit closes their first deal.
What about insurance and legal protection?
E&O insurance and legal protection are already built into how we do business — arranged for every agent, so it's one less thing you have to shop for on your own. Reach out and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.
Is Y Realty publicly traded?
No — we're privately held. That's by design: it lets us build an ownership path for agents instead of answering to outside shareholders. More on that soon.
Is Y Realty just another brokerage pitching splits?
No. Splits matter, and ours are competitive — but if the only reason you'd join is a better number, we're probably not the right fit. Y attracts agents who want to be led, developed, and known by name. If that's you, the numbers will come.
What does “leadership development” actually mean here?
Direct access to Tristan, Dave, and Candice. Weekly leadership calls where we work through real business problems together. A culture where you're expected to think like an owner, not an employee — and the mentorship to help you grow into it.
What states is Y Realty licensed in?
California, Florida, Wisconsin, Nevada, Illinois, Arizona — and growing. Ask us where we're heading next. If you're in one of these states and the “why” of this page resonates, let's talk.
Can I bring my team or independent brokerage?
Yes. Teams and independent brokerages are why Y exists in its current form. You keep your name, your people, and your identity. We add the leadership infrastructure, community, and support your team needs to grow without losing itself.
I own an independent brokerage. Do I have to give up my name?
No. Your brand, your sign, and your identity stay exactly where they are — this isn't a franchise conversion. It's the path we call Backed by Y: what moves is the backend — compliance, back office, technology, and broker support shift to Y so you can go back to leading agents instead of running an operations department.
Can I earn equity in Y Realty?
Yes. Y agents can convert a portion of commission into stock, with a match that improves once you cap. Because we're privately held, that equity is a real piece of what we're building together rather than a public-market handout. Terms change over time — ask your Area Leader for the current details.
Are you hiring coaches?
We are. If you'd rather develop agents than chase another listing, you can coach at Y — weekly accountability, scorecards, monthly one-on-ones — and earn revenue share on every agent you develop. No certification required. Bring a track record and the patience to build someone else's.
What happens if I fill out the form?
A real conversation with one of the co-owners. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a chance to hear each other's “why” and see if it lines up. If it doesn't, we'll tell you — and probably point you somewhere that fits better.
