100% commission real estate brokerage for Long Island agents
This guide focuses on agents working across Nassau and Suffolk counties. If your clients compare homes in both, your brokerage choice needs to account for a wider showing territory, consistent follow-up, and access to the listing information your business depends on—not only a commission percentage.
Set a realistic two-county service area
A client willing to consider both Nassau and Suffolk can create a much broader appointment schedule than a search in one town. Define where you will personally show homes and how you will handle requests beyond that area. Before joining, discuss the support available for your intended territory rather than assuming a statewide license means every operational detail is already covered.
Budget for the business outside the brokerage fee
Compare the recurring brokerage charge with driving, photography, listing access, and the other services you choose for your practice. McKee's 100% plan publishes a $140 monthly fee and $200 onboarding. Ask separately about any association, MLS, or third-party costs relevant to you. Keeping those categories distinct makes the flat fee comparison more useful than a headline split alone.
Use the county guides for property-level preparation
The Nassau and Suffolk guides below address different research and scheduling questions. Use this regional page to plan cross-county operations, then use the relevant county guide when preparing a particular assignment. Keep municipal records and property documents attached to the correct file; a regional market overview cannot establish the facts of an individual home.
Flat fee real estate brokerage in Long Island: compare the full cost
McKee's published 100% plan
$140/month + $200 one-time onboarding. No transaction fees; E&O insurance, agent dashboard, marketing and AI tools, and transaction coordination are included.
Twelve monthly payments total $1,680, or $1,880 including onboarding in the first year. These are brokerage charges, not a budget for every expense of operating an agent business. Confirm any association, MLS, or optional third-party services you need.
Review all McKee plansThe 100% plan concerns the agent's arrangement with McKee; it is not a flat-fee listing offer to homeowners. Compare your expected annual commissions and expenses with the alternative 90/10 and 85/15 plans before choosing.
Choosing the best real estate brokerage for agents in Long Island
The best fit depends on your work, support needs, and production. Use these questions in a brokerage interview rather than relying on a universal “best brokerage” label.
- Define your showing radius across Nassau and Suffolk.
- Confirm listing access for both counties with the brokerage.
- Budget travel and outside services separately from brokerage fees.
- Agree on handoffs when a client searches outside your core territory.
Bring these questions to McKee's agent recruitment team. Confirm your territory, listing access, and service expectations before transferring your license.
How is this Long Island guide different from the county pages?
This guide covers a practice spanning Nassau and Suffolk. The Nassau page focuses on municipal and property-record organization; the Suffolk page focuses on larger service territories and property-specific preparation.
