Sarah Calloway walked away from a 70/30 split — and never looked back
After six years at a national franchise in Austin, Sarah was closing 18 transactions a year and watching nearly $31,000 walk out the door in splits and fees. She joined Resident Realty in 2022 expecting a tradeoff — less support for lower cost. There wasn't one.
"The broker hotline is faster than anything I experienced at my old firm. I got my first transaction done in two weeks. I kept $19,400 on that deal alone."

From first-year agents to 20-year veterans — see why agents stay at Resident Realty.
From $0 saved to $22K in year one
"I spent four years at a franchise where 30% of every deal went to the brokerage. I thought that was just how it worked. After switching to Resident, I did the math — I kept $22,400 more in my first year alone. That's a car payment. That's a family vacation. That's mine."
New agent, no desk fees, no surprises
"I got my license in 2023 and went straight to Resident Realty based on a recommendation. I had no idea how much desk fees could drain a new agent. My first year, I closed 9 transactions and kept every dollar above the flat fee. The broker hotline helped me through every single one of them."
A husband-wife team that finally found the right fit
"We were paying over $3,000/month between the two of us at our old firm before we ever closed a deal. Resident Realty cut that to $100/month combined. We closed 27 sides last year and kept more than we ever had. It changed how we think about our business."
30 years in real estate — and this is the best it's been
"I've worked under three brokerages over my career. Resident is the only one that made me feel like a business owner instead of an employee. The support is there when you need it, and they stay out of your way when you don't. That's exactly what an experienced agent wants."
Went independent — without going it alone
"I wanted the freedom of running my own business but needed the backing of a real brokerage for compliance and support. Resident Realty is that. I set my own schedules, my own commissions, my own brand — and I still have a broker I can call at 9pm if a deal goes sideways."
Left a big name firm and never missed it
"We were convinced the brand name would bring us clients. It didn't. Our clients came from our own work — and we were giving away 30% of everything we earned for the privilege of using a logo. Once we switched to Resident, our take-home went up immediately. The brand name we're building now is our own."
"The question isn't why I joined Resident Realty. The question is why I waited so long."
