Most new agents lose 30-50% of their first commissions to their brokerage. At The Homestead Group, you keep 100% from your very first closing — with free training, mentorship, and tools to get you producing fast.
The deck is stacked against new agents before they close their first deal. Here's what nobody told you in real estate school.
Traditional brokerages take 30-50% of every commission check from new agents. Your first $10,000 deal? You might only see $5,000 — and that's before taxes.
Most new agents don't see a paycheck for months. Meanwhile, brokerage fees keep coming — desk fees, tech fees, and monthly dues that drain your savings.
Many brokerages recruit new agents but offer zero real training. You pass the exam, hang your license, and then... crickets. No mentorship. No roadmap.
After spending $500-$800 on pre-licensing, $39 on the exam, $91 for your license, plus E&O insurance — your brokerage hits you with $300-$500/month in fees before you earn a dime.
CRM, transaction management, e-signatures, marketing tools — brokerages charge $150-$300/month for technology that should be standard in 2026.
The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer agents get compensated. New agents need guidance on buyer representation agreements, value articulation, and new commission structures.
What if your brokerage invested in your success instead of profiting from your inexperience?
Here's exactly how to get your Tennessee real estate license and start your career at The Homestead Group. Most agents complete this in 8-10 weeks.
Tennessee requires two courses: a 60-hour Basic Principles of Real Estate course and a 30-hour Course for New Affiliates. Available online or in-person from TREC-approved schools. The 60-hour course covers real estate law, contracts, finance, and property management. The 30-hour course prepares you for actual field work.
The exam is administered by PSI and consists of 120 questions: 80 national and 40 Tennessee-specific. You need a 70% to pass. Your school submits your eligibility directly to PSI — then you schedule and take the exam. You have 6 months to pass.
Get fingerprinted through IndentoGO® (electronic submission to TBI/FBI), obtain Errors & Omissions insurance, and submit your Affiliate Broker application through the Tennessee CORE system. The license fee is $91.
