After that, you are free to set your custom splits with those working on your team. Our real estate business model is excellent for individuals who would like to run and manage a real estate sales team in Texas!
Do you provide leads?
We don’t actively provide leads to our Realtors as our fees are too low to generate them via paid sources. Our software suite is easy to integrate with the many lead companies in our industry and your leads can automatically populate our CRM. We give you the tools to run lead acquisition campaigns should you want to.
Are my leads protected if I upload my database into your CRM?
Yes! Your data belongs to you. Any business you generate is yours to keep with Recognize Realty. If you choose to leave at any time, your database will leave with you!
How long does it take to sign up?
Getting started with Recognize Realty is quick and simple! Signing up takes less than an hour and is done via DocuSign. Once that is complete, you’ll need to request sponsorship via TREC and inform your chosen Board of Realtors of your move. After that, you’ll be a part of Central Metro Realty!
What areas can Recognize Realty agents work in Texas?
Recognize Realty is headquartered in Austin, Texas but our service area spans the state. We have agents in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Greater Houston, Waco, Killeen, San Marcos and more! We also offer a non-MLS brokerage for any agent not utilizing a board membership. Apartment Locators looking to keep 100% of their leasing commissions can also operate anywhere in Texas with Recognize Realty!
Do you have physical locations?

Do I need to be a member of an MLS to join your firm?

Can I do real estate part-time with Recognize Realty?
Yes. Recognize Realty offers multiple 100% commission plans that are set up to complement your business whether real estate is part-time or full-time for you! We do not have any sales quotas at Recognize Realty.
How do I get paid at closing?
Once your sale is through the option period you will submit your documents to our dedicated in-house staff. A disbursement authorization will be sent to title and you’ll get paid at closing. Simple and fast!
To make it easy we went ahead and built a Disbursement Authorization Generator for Texas real estate agents! As a Recognized Agent, you can submit your paperwork to our team using the New Transaction page.
Are there any hidden fees when working at Recognize Realty?
Absolutely not! Recognize Realty was built by agents, for agents. You’ll never be surprised by a hidden fee as long as you’re with our firm. The only fees you will ever pay to Recognize Realty are completely outlined in our paperwork.
We strive to run an ethical company. We’ll never hold an agent ‘hostage’ at our firm by taking more money from them should they decide to leave nor are we going to give you discounts based on the number of agents you can get to sign up with our firm. Our focus is on providing quality brokerage support while allowing agents to work in a system that benefits them the most!
What are the E&O costs per transaction?
Your E&O is included in your 100% commission plan with Recognize Realty. You’ll never pay a per-transaction E&O fee!

Are you a HUD certified brokerage?
Yes, Recognize Realty is a HUD-approved brokerage with NAID. Our HUD information is available under our Texas Real Estate Forms page under Resources.
Do you provide training at your Brokerage?
