Switching brokerages in Orlando? Start with the real answers.

A good split rewards production instead of locking you at one rate. At Bear Team you start at 60/40 and graduate automatically — 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10 — as you produce. Because there are no monthly fees, more of your split actually reaches you. The right number depends on your volume, and Scout can run your exact take-home in about a minute.

There is one $16,000 company-dollar cap. Once Bear Team has collected $16,000 from your closings, you advance to the next tier automatically. You don't reset each year and you never pay into a cap you can't reach — you simply move up as you produce.

It depends on your number of closings and average price. As an illustration, an agent doing 8 deals at a $415K average would net roughly $87K with zero monthly fees coming out, and would start the next year at a higher tier. Use Scout to run your real numbers against where you are now. This is an illustration only; individual results vary.

Zero monthly fees — no desk fee, no technology fee, no royalty fee. Your only cost is a flat $150 transaction fee per closing. That's it.

No. It is $0 per month, always. The flat $150 per closing is the only cost to you.

Bear Team covers errors & omissions (E&O) insurance for its agents. It is not deducted from your commission per transaction.

In Florida you change your sponsoring broker through the DBPR. Your current broker releases you and your new broker activates your license under them. Bear Team walks you through the DBPR transfer and handles onboarding so there is no gap in your ability to work. See our full Florida switching guide for the step-by-step.

Your sphere and relationships move with you. Active listings belong to the brokerage they were listed under, so listing transfers are handled between brokers according to your listing agreements — Bear Team helps you navigate that cleanly so clients aren't caught in the middle.

Pending transactions are typically completed under the brokerage where they originated, with commissions paid per your existing agreement. Many agents time a move around their pipeline, and Bear Team helps you plan the switch so nothing in progress is disrupted.

Often between closings or during a natural lull, after you've reviewed your pending pipeline and any obligations with your current broker. There's no single right time — the best time is when the math and the support clearly favor the move.

Yes. New agents get BearTeam Academy training, a structured 30-60-90 day plan, and Scout AI to surface the next step — so you walk into a system instead of building one. You're supported rather than left sink-or-swim.

Bear Team provides training through BearTeam Academy and a system — Scout plus BearTeamOS — that organizes your pipeline and your next actions. Talk to Scout or book a call to see exactly how coaching and lead support work for your situation.
