To earn 95% on all transactions, you simply sign up during open enrollment on or before
January 1 or July 1. Below is a summary of the rates payable to ReeceNichols the first
day of each month. The company portion of commission is 5% of GCI with a minimum of

January 1 or July 1 are also the dates you may withdrawal from the 95% Plan and return
to the Commission Schedule; written transactions will pay on the 95% plan. Your
commission schedule will be based on your earnings calculated as they apply to the
schedule. Please note, once you withdrawal from the 95% Plan, you’ll need to wait one
year before re-enrolling.
95% BONUS PLAN
The best of both worlds.
95% Commission Bonus Plan starts at $164,378 in earnings for both individuals and
teams - team here is defined as a team leader, one paperwork assistant and one
licensed buyer agent. A contract must be written within the year and closes in the
same calendar year for the 95% to apply.
Instead of paying monthly fees, this plan increases the $164,378 threshold by $50,000
for each additional person added to the team. For example, in addition to you and one
selling assistant you added 2 additional selling assistants, your threshold would be
$164,378 + $100,000 = $264,378.

AGENT SERVICE LOYALTY PROGRAM
AGENT SERVICE LOYALTY PROGRAM
In recognition and appreciation for continued loyalty to ReeceNichols, we offer the
Agent Service Loyalty Program. This rewards our valued team members for their
commitment to their real estate careers and the Company.
20 YEAR PROGRAM
Agents attaining 20 years of continuous service with ReeceNichols are recognized
with a lifetime commission percentage. The percentage is the highest earned level
from their 18th, 19th or 20th year of service. This percentage will never decrease but
may increase based on increased performance after the 20th year of service. Once
increased after the 20th year, that becomes the new lifetime commission percentage.
UP TO 20 YEARS
For our agents which have not yet attained 20 years of service, they can feel secure
that their commission levels will never decrease more than one-step per year if their
production has an unexpected down year. However, they will always enjoy the
ability to raise multiple levels each year based on increased yearly earnings.
As an added benefit, if an agent has a year which did not meet their goals, they may
keep their level provided that the commission level was previously earned over the
preceding two years.
In addition, agents may always “buy back” their last earned level by paying the
company dollar difference (for example if an agent on a 70% co-op commission level
falls $1000 short of retaining their level, they can pay the company $300 to “buy
back” their level).
*Earned Level is defined as actual earnings on current year’s schedule.

AGENT SERVICES FEE
2014 AGENT SERVICES FEE
Bundled services to keep you online and in business.
Instead of billing sales associates monthly for every service used, ReeceNichols
Realtors have an Agent Services Fee (ASF) which covers the systems, tools and
services needed in today’s fast paced real estate industry. The ASF is $198.00 and is
collected from every closed side. When you sell your own listing, only one ASF will
be collected.

computed at a higher commission split. Your opportunity for “in-house” transactions are
greater due to the extensive ReeceNichols market share.
