We really don't like fees.

Most brokerages require board dues and MLS fees. Some charge desk fees, and a lot charge transaction fees. Some even charge direct deposit fees, just to get you your own money. Firelight’s different.

Where a flat-fee brokerage may suit you better

You expect many closings a year and want a flat fee per deal in place of a split.
Whether you join us or not, the best advice we can give is: Don’t join a regional board and pay for MLS until you have clients that will benefit. You’ll just be wasting money. Board & MLS don’t magically bring you leads or clients – that’s the truth.
When you do need Board and MLS... Firelight Realty Group, our full-service side, offers that path, with board and MLS dues. Free to switch.

*Estimate for a typical NAR-affiliated Florida brokerage: board and MLS dues of about $1,150 to $1,550 a year (published Miami Realtors and Orlando-area schedules, midpoint used), plus a desk or monthly fee where one is common. **Assumes $10,000 gross commission per closing; Firelight totals use the 90/10 split all year and are the conservative case. Categories are described from publicly available fee schedules reviewed in October 2026; ranges are approximate, exclude license renewal, continuing education, and optional services, and vary by company and office.
