A 90/10 commission split means the commercial agent receives 90% of the commission and the brokerage receives 10%, subject to the agent agreement, transaction fees, and any special circumstances. For CRE agents, the split matters because commercial transactions often require significant relationship-building, underwriting, negotiation, and transaction management. Peritus CRE uses this model to offer experienced agents stronger economics while still providing broker-of-record oversight, forms, compliance resources, and transaction coordination.

Why This Matters for Commercial Agents

Commercial agents should evaluate brokerage economics based on net commission, time saved, support received, and restrictions removed. A larger split is valuable when paired with practical broker access, clean transaction procedures, and low overhead.

How Peritus CRE Supports This

Peritus CRE is built around a lean economics model: 90/10 commission positioning, no desk fees, no mandatory platforms, and transparent transaction coordination. This gives experienced agents a clearer path to keeping more of what they produce.

What Agents Should Consider

Before moving brokerages, review the written agreement, transaction fee schedule, payment process, E&O expectations, state coverage, file requirements, and broker approval procedures. Net economics should be measured after all fees and support tradeoffs.

Key Takeaways

• Peritus CRE is designed for experienced commercial professionals, not beginner residential agents.
• The platform should be evaluated based on total economics, broker support, state coverage, and autonomy.
• Multi-state activity should be reviewed before marketing, negotiating, or performing licensed services.
• Agents should keep their client relationships and deal strategy organized while following brokerage procedures.
