For Exit referral commissions between Exit offices, how is the transaction fee split?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a referral commission occurs between Exit offices, the transaction fee is split in direct proportion to the percentage of the commission earned. This means that if one office receives 25% of the commission, they are responsible for paying 25% of the transaction fee.

This proportional split of transaction fees directly impacts the profitability of each Exit office involved in a referral. For instance, an office receiving a smaller percentage of the commission will pay a correspondingly smaller portion of the fee, which can help maintain profitability on lower-value referrals. Conversely, an office earning a larger share of the commission will bear a larger portion of the transaction fee.

This policy ensures fairness and aligns the fee burden with the revenue generated by each office. It also encourages offices to collaborate on referrals, knowing that the fees will be distributed equitably based on their contribution to the transaction. Franchisees should consider this fee structure when evaluating the potential benefits of participating in Exit's referral network.
