Your Brokerage Should Work as Hard as You Do

You got into real estate to build something of your own. But somewhere along the way, the fees kept climbing, the support never materialized, and the training turned into the same recycled Zoom call every week. You’re producing — but you’re doing it in spite of your brokerage, not because of it. There’s a better way.

The Transition

You're Not Starting Over. You're Leveling Up.

Switching brokerages feels like a risk — but in practice, your clients come with you, your pipeline stays intact, and your momentum doesn’t break. Most agents are fully operational within days, not weeks.

We’ve helped hundreds of agents make this transition since 2013. We handle the paperwork, the license transfer, and the onboarding so you can stay focused on what matters — your clients and your closings.

01

Your Clients Come With You

Active deals, your sphere, your past clients — they’re yours. The relationships you’ve built don’t reset when you change the sign in the yard.

02

We Handle the Paperwork

License transfer, MLS, board notifications, onboarding documents — our team manages the moving pieces so you don’t lose a day of production.

03

Operational Within Days

Email, kvCORE, marketing assets, transaction systems — set up and ready. Most agents are fully running at LBR inside a week of saying yes.

Our Difference

What Makes LBR Different

Four commitments we’ve built the brokerage around — autonomy, economics, real support, and technology that doesn’t get in your way.

01

Your Business. Your Way.

Run your real estate business the way you’ve always wanted to. No franchise rules dictating your marketing, no corporate brand competing with yours, no team leader collecting an override on your hard-won deals.

Autonomy · Brand Ownership · Creative Control

02

Keep What You Earn

$60/month brokerage fee. $300 per closed transaction. Optional $50/month kvCORE. No commission splits. No caps. Your hard work shows up in your bank account — not on someone else’s P&L.

100% Commission · Flat Fee · No Splits

03

Support That Actually Shows Up

Direct access to broker Julie Simpson — not a call center, not a ticket queue. A marketing team, in-house videographers, and transaction coordination ready when you need them.

Technology That Works For You

kvCORE CRM, a personalized agent website, automated drip campaigns, behavioral lead engagement, cybersecurity-first systems and encrypted transaction handling — built for how modern agents actually sell.

Run the Numbers

See Exactly What You'll Pay at LBR

No splits to decode. No mystery fees. Just a flat monthly fee, a per-transaction fee, and an optional CRM. Here’s exactly what 20 deals a year costs at LBR — and what you’d be giving up at a traditional split brokerage.

Sample Calculation · 20 Deals/Year
Transaction Fees ($300 × 20 deals)
$6,000
Annual Office Fee ($60 × 12)
$720
kvCORE ($50 × 12)
$600
Total Annual Cost at LBR
$7,320

Compare against typical 70/30 split brokerages, where most active agents pay $16,000–$20,000 in splits each year before hitting their cap — at which point the split stops until their anniversary date resets it and the meter starts over.

Mentorship

Mentorship That Meets You Where You Are

Whether you’re a new agent finding your footing or an experienced professional looking to sharpen your approach, LBR’s mentorship program is built around you — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Led by Krystal Arnold, one of LBR’s top-producing agents. One-on-one mentoring covers fundamentals, systems, marketing, client management, negotiation, and business development.

Krystal is actively producing in the Tampa Bay market — listing appointments, open houses, deals every week. From writing your first offer to building a listing presentation that wins, you’re learning from someone in the trenches with you.

Agent Resource Center

Built by Agents. For Agents.

We don’t just tell our agents to “go prospect.” We give them the tools, frameworks, and knowledge to actually do it well. LBR agents get exclusive access to our Agent Resource Center — a continuously growing library.

Not a dusty PDF library. Not a generic training portal. Built by people who sell real estate in this market, for people who sell real estate in this market.

In Their Own Words

What LBR Agents Say

Just loving it here at Luxury & Beach Realty! The staff are so helpful and supportive. Our Tech Tuesday classes are packed full of useful knowledge to grow my business. Not to mention the amazing commission schedule — it’s like getting an instant pay raise on every transaction.

After 15 years in the real estate business, I have worked with many offices. However, this is my home — I have found my family. All of our agents are very committed, professional, and efficient. And Julie Simpson is the master when it comes to negotiating on our agents’ behalf.

The structure of the company allows you to be creative and on your own without being supervised — which is great for realtors who have been in the business for a while and have their own following. For those who are starting out, they could not make it any easier for you.

If you need a home for your license, seriously consider Luxury & Beach Realty. You are truly in charge of your own business, while receiving all the support you would from a company asking you to give up 25–30% of your income.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Your active deals come with you. We coordinate directly with your current brokerage and the title companies involved so files transfer cleanly, commissions are protected, and your buyers and sellers experience zero disruption.

Most agents are fully operational within days. License transfer typically clears within 24–72 hours; onboarding, kvCORE setup, email and marketing assets are usually wrapped up inside the first week.

No. LBR was built around agent and team autonomy. Keep your name, your logo, your voice — we sit behind your brand, not on top of it.

Direct line to Julie Simpson — not a ticketing system, not a regional manager. Contract review, negotiation help, escalations, and the day-to-day judgment calls that actually matter, answered in real time.

$60/month brokerage fee ($720/year) + $300 per closed transaction. Optional kvCORE at $50/month ($600/year). No splits, no caps, no surprises.

Absolutely. The program is structured around your goals — many veteran agents use it to refine listing presentations, sharpen negotiation, or build out systems that scale. It’s coaching, not curriculum.

Access to our in-house marketing team and videographers, branded templates, listing assets, and the Agent Resource Center library. Premium video and design work is available at preferred agent pricing.

E&O is included in your transaction fee. MLS and local board/Realtor dues remain the agent’s responsibility — we’ll walk you through exact numbers for your service area during onboarding.

Referral Program FAQ

A licensed agent who hangs their license with LBR strictly to make and receive real estate referrals — not to actively list, sell, or represent buyers themselves.

No MLS fees, no Realtor board dues, no transaction fees. Just the flat $40/month membership. (You’ll still pay the state for license renewal directly.)

When the referred transaction closes, LBR collects the agreed referral fee and pays you 100% of that amount directly. Clean, fast, documented.

Yes — continuing education and license renewal are state requirements that apply to every active license, including referral associates.

Reach out anyway. We can walk you through reactivating with the state, then bringing your license over to LBR’s referral program.

No — referral associates can’t represent buyers or sellers, including themselves. If you want to sell your own home, you’d need to move to an active agent role.

Not under the referral program. If you want to actively practice real estate again, we’ll convert you to a full agent — same broker, different agreement.
