AXEN offers two plans:
After you hit your cap, you keep 100% of every commission for the rest of your anniversary year. No percentage splits ever.
Your cap is the maximum total fees you pay AXEN in a year. Pro Plan caps at $6,000 (about 20 closings), Elite Plan at $12,000 (about 60 closings). Once you hit your cap, you pay $0 per closing for the remainder of that anniversary year. The cap resets annually from your join date.
No monthly fees and no desk fees. AXEN's only cost to agents is the flat fee per closing, which stops entirely once you hit your annual cap. No production minimums, no hidden charges.
AXEN agents get paid the same day their deal closes. No waiting days or weeks for commission checks, and your money hits your account the same day you close.
Yes. AXEN offers a reverse sign-on bonus where your first few closings are fee-free, so you start earning right away without owing anything back. You start earning from day one without owing anything back.
AXEN offers a 5-level revenue share program. When agents you recruit close deals, you earn a percentage of their transaction fees, up to 5 levels deep. The more agents in your network, the more you earn. Details are available on the Why AXEN page.

All included at no extra cost.

NEXA Lending is one of the largest mortgage companies in the US. AXEN was built from day one in partnership with NEXA, giving agents access to in-house lending with faster turn times and competitive rates. Chase Lance, AXEN co-founder, is a former NEXA branch manager.
No. While AXEN and NEXA are affiliated, agents have complete freedom to use any lender they choose. NEXA is an option, not a requirement. Many agents appreciate having it available for faster processing and dual-licensing income opportunities.
