Agents you sponsor directly
Sponsored by your Tier 1
Tier 2 = front line × this, Tier 3 = Tier 2 × this, and so on. Rounded to whole agents.
A capping agent pays Real the full cap, so you earn the tier maximum on them.
Equals about $30,000 GCI at the 15% split.
Producing = $450 in splits to Real in the last 6 months. Capped agents always count. Only producing Tier 1 agents count toward unlocks.
Producer Path: unlocks up to Tier 3 for the rest of your cap year.
Producer Path: unlocks up to Tier 5 for the rest of your cap year.
Program settings (advanced)
Sponsors must pay $450 in splits every rolling 6 months to receive rev share. New agents get a one-time 6-month grace period.
Lower cap plans stop paying Real sooner, so the tier maximums scale down (a $6K cap agent maxes at $2,000 at Tier 1). Co-sponsored agents pay each sponsor 50% and count as 0.5 toward unlocks. Real pays out at most 60% of its monthly split revenue; if that limit is hit, payouts are prorated. Use the payout factor to stress-test.
Tier unlock status
Any one of Real's three paths opens a tier. You get the highest tier any path gives you.
Tier breakdown
Gross revenue share by tier before program fees. Locked tiers show what you are leaving on the table.
| Tier | Agents | Annual | Monthly |
|---|
Dots are capped per row for space. Faded rows are locked.
Multi-year projection
Starts from the network above and grows it each year with these simple inputs. Your cap and Elite status are assumed to repeat every year.
| Year | Tiers open | Annual | Cumulative |
|---|
Each year: existing agents leave at the attrition rate, you add new front-line agents, and every agent in Tiers 1 to 4 sponsors new agents one tier deeper. Same cap mix and production assumptions every year. Not a forecast.
The rules behind the math
From Real's help center (US), as of the August 31, 2026 updates.
Rates and maximums
- Tier 1: 5% of GCI, up to $4,000 per $12K capping agent

- Tier 3: 3%, up to $2,400
- Tier 4: 2%, up to $1,600

Three ways to unlock
- Tier 1 Producing Path: 5 / 15 / 20 / 25 producing Tier 1 agents open Tiers 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
- Attractor Path: 750 / 1,000 / 1,500 agents in your network open Tiers 3 / 4 / 5
- Producer Path: capping at $12K opens up to Tier 3, Elite opens up to Tier 5, until your cap resets
- Drop below a threshold and the tier relocks
