How Much Does a Real Estate Agent Recruitment Agency Cost?

Costs vary widely depending on the agency and the model they use. Many traditional recruiters charge large upfront retainers or flat fees per hire, regardless of whether the agent ever closes a deal. At MNKY Agency, we take a different approach. Our most popular option is a performance-based revenue share model, where you pay just $100 per transaction closed by any agent we recruit for your brokerage. This means no wasted spend on non-producing agents—we only earn when your recruited agents close deals. For brokers who prefer a more conventional structure, we also offer pay-per-hire models. Our goal is to align incentives so you get predictable growth without unnecessary risk.
