Why investor-friendly matters
Investors close again and again.
Most brokerages are built for one-time buyers and sellers. Investors buy, fix, rent and sell, year after year. A brokerage that speaks their language turns one client into a career.

Agent BusinessBest for your numbers
$125/month$950/closing
For working agents. The lower closing fee pays back the monthly fee within a few deals.
- Everything in Agent Standard
- $200 less on every closing fee
- 90/10 split on rentals
Agent Business wins once you close 3 or more deals a year. Switch plans anytime. Brand-new agents add $1,850 on each of their first 5 closings, with hands-on help through every step.
What do the plans cost?
You keep the sale commission on both. Agent Standard is $85 a month plus $1,150 per closing, and covers broker support and education, E&O large-claim insurance and transaction management. Agent Business is $125 a month plus $950 per closing: everything in Agent Standard, with $200 less on every closing, and a 90/10 split on rentals.
Which plan should I pick?
Agent Business costs $480 more a year and saves $200 per closing, so it wins once you close 3 or more deals a year. Fewer than that, Agent Standard is cheaper. The calculator above picks the better one for your numbers, and you can switch anytime.
What does one closing fee cover?
One closing fee covers a sale price up to $2M or a commission up to $50K. Above that it resets for each further $2M in price or $50K in commission.
Are there hidden fees or setup charges?
No. The only extras are fees California mandates, and we pass those through at cost.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. You can transfer your license anytime.
Do I have to attend meetings?
No. Work with regular buyers and sellers, use your own brand, sell your own rehabs and assign off-market contracts, within local rules and firm policy.
Where is the office?
Each market center has a small office. Joe’s is in Laguna Hills. Most agents connect at seasonal BBQs and in the agent-only Facebook group.
I’m brand new. Can I join?
Yes, on either plan. Agents with zero experience pay an extra $1,850 on their first five closings, and get hands-on help through every step of each transaction.

Agents in their words
Support that builds a business.
“I have known Joe for almost 10 years. He is an amazing person. He has been helping real estate investors for free for as long as I have known him. With his 50 years of real estate experience, there is nothing that he doesn't know about this business. Unlike all those "Gurus" out there that mostly are interested in making money from real estate education, Joe is completely hands on with his real estate brokerage and his whole selling and flipping business. In addition to his exemplary work with his real estate agents, he offers free one-on-one consulting to anyone that is or wants to be in the real estate investing field. If you are in the Orange county area, I would definitely recommend that you attend one of Joe's meetup and get to know him”
“Pellego has been fantastic, and Joe is an outstanding broker. He’s always helpful, supportive, and generous with his 50+ years of real estate knowledge. I truly appreciate his guidance and couldn’t ask for better mentorship. Highly recommend!”
“Joe is the most knowledgeable Broker that I have been around. Not only that, but he makes time for EVERYONE at the brokerage (including individual sessions). The amount of tools, resources, and dedicated time Joe commits to agents and investors is incredible. The content and training he provides are off the charts. Joe has a proven track record that shows all of the success and longevity in the Real Estate business. With that comes a lot of knowledge and advice, which he shares with everyone. It is undeniable that Joe prides himself on helping in making others successful, and that is admirable. More than that, he is just a stand-up guy. Everyone loves being around him; he is a genuine and good person, Real Estate or otherwise. Thank you, Joe, for always being there to help and advise when I need it. I am lucky to have you as our head Broker, and I look forward to continue growing with you and Pellego. Sincerely, Eric Oles”
“My experience with Joe has been exceptional. With over 40 years of experience, he brings an incredible depth of knowledge and insight to everything he does. He genuinely puts his clients, agents, and investors first, and his philosophy is clear—money never leads; it follows when you consistently do the right thing. I highly recommend working with Joe.”
“I'm so thankful I found Pellego and Joe to hang my license with. I'm an agent and I was looking for an investor friendly brokerage. Pellego sounded great and exactly what I was looking for. What I didn't expect was to get such an awesome broker, Joe, who would provide amazing support. He is passionate about real estate, investing, and sharing his knowledge to help others to be successful. He also freely shares his vast resources and connections which has been so helpful. I will never leave Pellego and Joe!”
“Amazing experience working with Joe. He is not only a seasoned broker but also a great person and mentor. His videos helped me a lot from setting up MlS and writing offers for clients. He is very responsive and just an email or call away whenever I needed assistance and as a first timer, I had a lot of questions and concerns and he never made me feel embarrassed and supported me in a highly professional manner.”
“Never worked with a better broker. As an agent he’s been very helpful and has shared knowledge with me that can improve my business in ways I never thought possible. Whether you’re looking to invest in properties or become an investor-friendly agent, he’s the one to go see! So glad to have connected with Joe & the Pellego team!”
“Joe Homs is one of those individuals that are "old school" meaning he is honest, helpful, giving, and very knowledgeable! He is a rare jem, in a world full of phony balonies! Joe has helped me obtain a new career as a realtor and has been available for questions 24/7. I just can't say enough good things about him, because it would fill this entire page. I highly recommend Joe as a mentor, coach, and realtor. If you need any kind of real estate investing, Joe is your man. Thanks Joe! George J.”

“Joe is always available, attentive, and committed to supporting you every step of the way. His years of experience make him a valuable resource. If you’re looking to save on commissions while still getting excellent support, I highly recommend joining Pellego.”
