I’m Joe Homs, designated broker of Pellego. You keep 100% of your sale commissions. Instead of a split, you pay a flat monthly fee and a flat fee when a deal closes. (Rentals on the Agent Business plan are a 90/10 split.)

The California plans

Agent Standard

$85 a month + $1,150 per closing

  • Broker support and education
  • Transaction management
  • E&O large-claim insurance

For part-time agents and investors closing a deal or two a year.

Agent Business

$125 a month + $950 per closing

  • Everything in Agent Standard
  • $200 off the closing fee
  • 90/10 split on rentals

For working agents. The lower closing fee pays back the monthly fee within a few deals.

Agent Business costs $480 more a year and saves $200 on every closing, so it costs less once you close 3 or more deals a year. You can switch plans.

One closing fee covers a sale price up to $2,000,000 or a commission up to $50,000. Above that, the fee resets for each further $2,000,000 in price or $50,000 in commission. If you have zero experience, you pay an additional $1,850 on your first 5 closings, and you get transaction mentorship through those deals.

What you can do here

You don’t have to attend meetings. You can work with regular buyers and sellers, use your own brand, sell your own rehabs, and assign off-market contracts, as long as you follow local rules and firm policy. There’s no setup fee and no minimum commitment. You can transfer your license anytime. California fees are passed through at cost. If you license in a second state on the same plan, that monthly fee is 50% off. If the two monthly fees differ, the discount applies to the lower one.

If you’re new, we won’t get clients for you, and we won’t teach you how to get clients. We’ll teach you how to write offers and do listings, and you can text me with questions. Classes on this site are free once you’re a Pellego agent. The two I get asked about most are Flipping the OC and Searching the MLS.See the training.
