Epique pays 10 percent of company revenue on transactions closed by agents you introduced, five levels deep, with no unlocking requirements. That is the part everyone tells you. This page is mostly about the three conditions under which the same program pays you very little or nothing at all, because those are in the contract rather than the presentation.
Epique Realty pays 10 percent of company revenue on transactions closed by agents across a five level downline, with no unlocking requirements and no production restrictions. Managing brokers receive 10 percent of company revenue on transactions for agents under their supervision, and mentors and coaches receive 10 percent on transactions involving their mentees. These streams stack.
There is no fee to participate, nothing to buy, and no requirement to attract anyone. Whether that structure amounts to a multi-level marketing scheme is a fair question with a specific answer, and it is handled on the due diligence page rather than repeated here.
The mechanics above are the easy part and every recruiter can recite them. What follows is the part that decides whether any of it is worth anything to you.
Because we cannot know yours, and anyone who shows you a revenue share projection is showing you a spreadsheet about strangers.
Revenue share income is a function of how many agents you introduce, whether they close, how much they close, and how long they stay. You control the first of those and not one of the other three. A projection requires assuming all four, and the assumptions do all the work.
So there is no calculator on this page and no example downline. The calculator on the numbers page excludes revenue share from every figure it produces, for the same reason. If a brokerage move only works once you attach a downline to it, the move does not work.
This is also the single fastest way for a page like this to become worthless. An income figure attached to a downline is unverifiable by definition, and this site is built on the opposite premise.
Nothing at all, until somebody in it closes a transaction. Revenue share is a percentage of company revenue, and company revenue does not exist until a sale closes.
Follow that through and it is less obvious than it sounds. Forty attracted agents who do not sell pay exactly what zero attracted agents pay. Not less, not a smaller amount, the same amount, which is nothing.
This matters because the number quoted in almost every attraction conversation is how many agents someone has attracted. That number is free to grow. The number that pays is how many of those agents closed a transaction this month, and those two figures come apart very quickly once a downline is more than a handful of people.
Roughly speaking, a large share of licensed agents close few or no transactions in a given year. That is an industry condition, not an Epique condition, and it applies to your downline exactly as it applies to everyone else's. An attraction organization built without regard to whether the people in it actually sell is a list of names.
Agents who join a revenue share brokerage intending to build an organization instead of selling real estate generally do poorly at both. The organization pays nothing because nobody in it is closing, and their own production has been neglected in favour of recruiting.
If you are evaluating Epique, evaluate it on the split, the cap and what is included. Treat revenue share as something that might happen later. It is a reason to stay somewhere, not a reason to go somewhere.
Your revenue share from that agent stops, at zero, for the rest of their anniversary year. Revenue share is calculated on the cap side, from company dollar collected through the commission split, so once an agent has capped they generate nothing further for whoever attracted them until their year resets.
This is the part that almost never appears in a revenue share explanation, and it is a direct consequence of the capped model rather than anything unusual about Epique.
An annual cap limits the company dollar a brokerage collects from a single agent. At Epique the individual cap is $15,000 in year one, declining by $1,000 each year to a $10,000 floor. Traditional team members cap at $10,000. Power Team members cap at $5,000.
| Agent type | Annual company cap | What happens after it is reached |
|---|---|---|
| Individual agent, year one | $15,000 | Split collection stops until the anniversary resets |
| Individual agent, year six onward | $10,000 | Same, at the declining cap floor |
| Traditional team member | $10,000 | Same, at a lower ceiling |
| Power Team member | $5,000 | Same, and reached soonest of all |
So the agent in your downline who closes forty sides does not generate four times the company dollar of the one who closes ten. Past the cap, both generate the same thing, which is nothing further. Your strongest producers reach their cap soonest, which means the best agents you ever attract are the ones who pay you for the smallest fraction of the year.
It goes to zero, not to a floor. Revenue share is calculated on the cap side, from company dollar collected through the commission split. The technology fee and the transaction fees that continue after an agent has capped do not feed it.
An earlier version of this page left this open because the two possible answers produce materially different pictures and we were not willing to pick the cleaner one. This is the less flattering of the two.
Verify it in your own independent contractor agreement rather than taking this page's word for it. That instruction is not a formality here: it is the same instruction we give about every other figure on this site, and it applies to the unflattering ones too.
There is a second-order effect worth sitting with. The declining cap is a real benefit to the agent who earns it, dropping $1,000 a year from $15,000 to a $10,000 floor. It is simultaneously a reduction in the ceiling on what that agent can generate for whoever attracted them. Every year an agent in your downline stays, the most they can produce for you goes down. Tenure in your organization is worth less to you than it is to them, by design.
None of this makes revenue share worthless. It does mean the income is front-loaded within each year and then stops, rather than scaling smoothly with your downline's production, and it is almost universally described as though it scales smoothly.
Revenue share pays 10 percent at each level, five levels deep. Ten percent of a capped number is itself a capped number, so the maximum any single agent in your first line can generate for you in a year can be stated exactly.
| Agent in your first line | Their annual company cap | Most they can generate for you | Same, if you hold Power Award |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual agent, year one | $15,000 | $1,500 | $3,000 |
| Individual agent, year six onward | $10,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| Traditional team member | $10,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| Power Team member | $5,000 | $500 | $1,000 |
Read that table twice, because it is the most useful thing on this page. Every figure in the right hand columns is a maximum that is only reached if that agent caps, which requires them to close consistently for a full year. For an agent who closes moderately it is a fraction of that number. For an agent who does not close at all it is zero, per the section above.
Note the last row in particular. Attracting a Power Team member, who caps at $5,000, ceilings your revenue share from them at $500 for the year, because the thing you are paid from is the thing their cap limits.
The fourth column applies only if you hold Power Award, which requires 24 closed transactions or $10 million in your own production, and it doubles your revenue share on your first line only. Levels two through five are unaffected. It is worth understanding as a ceiling rather than a plan: the production required to double your attraction income is production that already dwarfs the attraction income itself. What else Power Award changes is on the splits and fees page.
Yes. Attraction, area leadership, state leadership and Power Award status are separate 10 percent positions and one person can hold several of them at once on the same transaction. This is also the point where most descriptions of revenue share quietly stop being about you.
Someone holding several of those positions earns considerably more per downline agent than the ceiling table above shows. That is real, and it is why stacked figures circulate in attraction conversations.
Here is the part that matters. Those are positions, and the person describing them to you almost certainly holds them while you do not.
I hold three. I am a state leader and an area leader, and I hold Power Award, so an agent I attract inside my own area can pay me on several stacked streams at once. A licensed agent who affiliates with Epique next week holds none of them. They have one 10 percent stream on the agents they personally attract, measured against the ceilings in the table above, and every additional stream requires reaching a role that has its own requirements and is not granted on arrival.
So when a stacked number gets quoted at you, the useful question is not whether it is accurate. It probably is. The question is whose position it describes. If it describes the person recruiting you, it is a fact about their business and not a forecast of yours, and the gap between those two things is several years and several roles wide.
That is why there is no stacked projection anywhere on this page. Printing one would mean showing you my economics with your name on top of them.
The pitch that goes "attract agents, then teach them to attract agents" inherits every limit above rather than escaping them. A second level agent pays you nothing until they close and stops paying you the moment they cap, exactly as a first level agent does. Depth multiplies the number of people who must actually sell real estate before anything reaches you. It does not relax the condition, it repeats it.
Cover every stacked stream with your hand and look at the split, the cap and what is included. If the move does not work on that alone, it does not work. Leadership positions you might hold in three years are not a reason to change brokerages this month.
There is a vesting path, and almost nobody who leaves a brokerage can use it. Revenue share vests at 36 months, and once vested you may leave voluntarily and keep receiving it. But joining another brokerage forfeits it, vested or not, and joining another brokerage is what leaving normally means.
This is the least asked question in this part of the industry and the one with the most attached to it, so here it is in the detail the agreement actually provides rather than the version that fits on a slide.
| Situation | What happens to your revenue share |
|---|---|
| You leave voluntarily, under 36 months | Forfeited. Nothing has vested. |
| You leave voluntarily, past 36 months | Vested streams continue. Both you and that recruit must have 36 months for a stream to count. |
| You join a competing brokerage | Ends immediately. Vested and non-vested alike are forfeited. |
| Epique terminates you | Forfeited, vested or not. |
| Death or permanent incapacitation | The full stream may pass to a named beneficiary, with the 36 month vesting waived. |
Read the third row against the second one. The vesting provision is real, and the non-compete clause sitting next to it means the only way to keep a vested stream is to stop working at a competing brokerage. In this industry that mostly means leaving real estate.
So the practical answer for an agent who might one day move to another brokerage is the blunt one: you lose it. Not because there is no vesting, but because the path that preserves it is not the path you are likely to take. That is a more precise claim than "you lose everything," and it is worse in the way that matters, because a vesting benefit you cannot realistically use is easy to quote in a recruiting conversation and hard to collect.
The conclusion is unchanged and it is the thing this site has said since its first page. Revenue share is a reason to stay somewhere, not a reason to go somewhere. Every year you spend building an organization is another year in which changing brokerages costs you more, and you will be weighing that at exactly the moment you most need to think clearly.
"If I resign and join another brokerage, what happens to vested and non-vested revenue share, and which clause governs it?"
Epique publishes the full independent contractor agreement, so you can check every sentence above against the source rather than against a recruiter's summary, and a recruiter's summary is worth nothing including mine. The vesting, non-compete and termination provisions are all in there.
The current independent contractor agreement is published at ica.epiquerealty.com. That document governs, not this page. It carries a revision date at the top and its terms can change, so check the date when you read it and read it again before you sign anything.
RevShare+ is a separate program scheduled to launch in 2027. It is not available today and it should not be part of a decision you are making this month.
As described, it will carry no production, attraction or commitment qualifications and will be available from month one. That is an accurate description of an announced program and an inaccurate description of what exists as you read this.
The practical use of this section is telling the two apart. If someone attracting you describes revenue share with no qualifications at all, available immediately, ask whether they are describing the current program or the 2027 one. It is an easy thing to blur, and the difference is a year and a half of terms that have not been published yet.
A gym membership benefit is also announced for 2027. Same rule applies to both: announced is not live, and a decision made this month should rest on what exists this month.
I do not simply benefit if you affiliate with Epique. I benefit if you do it under me specifically. I am a Colorado Broker Associate affiliated with Epique Realty and I participate in the revenue share program, which means I earn a share of company revenue on transactions closed by agents I introduce. On a page about revenue share, that is not a background disclosure, it is the direct financial interest in the subject matter.
This page is published by Jing Marketing LLC, which I operate. It is not an Epique corporate page and Epique did not review it. That is also why the section above tells you to read the termination clause yourself instead of taking my summary of it, and why there are no income figures anywhere on this page.
Nothing until an agent in it closes a transaction, because revenue share is a percentage of company revenue and company revenue does not exist until a sale closes. Beyond that, it depends on how many introduced agents are actively closing, how much they close before reaching their annual cap, and how long they stay. Anyone quoting you a figure is assuming all three.
Yes. Attraction, area leadership, state leadership and Power Award status are separate 10 percent positions, and one person can hold several at once on the same transaction. The thing to check when a stacked figure is quoted at you is whose position it describes. An agent affiliating next week holds one stream on agents they personally attract. Every additional stream requires reaching a role with its own requirements, so a stacked number usually describes the person recruiting you rather than you.
Ten percent of their annual cap, since revenue share is calculated from company dollar and their cap is what limits it. That is $1,500 for an individual agent in year one, $1,000 once their declining cap reaches its floor or if they are a traditional team member, and $500 for a Power Team member. Those figures double on your first line if you hold Power Award, which requires 24 closed transactions or $10 million in your own production. All of them are ceilings reached only if that agent caps, which requires closing consistently all year. For agents who close moderately it is a fraction of that, and for agents who do not close it is zero.
No. There is no requirement to attract anyone, no fee to participate in revenue share, and no product to buy. Agents who never attract a single person keep the same split, cap and included services as everyone else.
Yes, and it is usually left out. Revenue share is calculated on the cap side, from company dollar collected through the commission split. Once an agent reaches their annual cap the brokerage stops collecting that split, so your share from that agent falls to zero for the remainder of their anniversary year. The technology fee and transaction fees continue after the cap but do not feed revenue share. Your highest producers cap earliest and therefore pay you for the smallest fraction of the year.
There is a 36 month vesting path, and joining another brokerage voids it. Both you and the recruit must have been with Epique 36 months for a stream to vest, after which you may leave voluntarily and keep receiving it. But the agreement forfeits revenue share entirely, vested and non-vested, if you join a competing organization, and it is forfeited on involuntary termination too. In practice that means an agent moving to another brokerage loses it. Read the vesting, non-compete and termination clauses yourself at ica.epiquerealty.com.
Generally not. If the split, cap and included services do not improve your economics on transactional math alone, revenue share is unlikely to rescue the decision. Run your own figures with revenue share excluded, which is exactly how the calculator on the numbers page is built.
No, based on where the money originates: every dollar comes from a closed property sale rather than from participants buying in, and there is no fee to participate. The recruiting culture can produce social dynamics that resemble one. That distinction is covered properly on the due diligence page.
It is scheduled for 2027 and is not available today. Anyone describing revenue share with no qualifications at all, from month one, is describing that future program rather than the current one.
