What AXEN does for home buyers and sellers

An AXEN agent helps you search for a home, price and sell your home, write and negotiate offers, and get to closing. Talking with an agent is free. What you pay your agent is agreed with you in writing, and it is always negotiable.

What "flat fee" means at AXEN

The flat fee is what our agents pay AXEN. It is not a discount listing service for home sellers. Home buyers and sellers agree on their agent's pay directly with the agent, like at any brokerage.

For agents, as of October 2026, on the Pro plan AXEN charges $500 per closing (just 10% of the commission when it is under $2,500), capped at $6,000 a year. The Elite plan is $1,000 per closing, capped at $12,000. There is also a $295 admin fee per file and a $50 a month platform fee. There is no commission split. MLS and association dues are not included; those are the agent's own, as at any brokerage. Agents can earn revenue share up to five levels deep on agents they bring to AXEN. See how joining works and how the fees compare.

Mortgage, title and insurance

AXEN has affiliated mortgage, title and insurance companies, so your agent, loan, title and insurance can work as one team. You never have to use them. Ask your agent for the written Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure before you choose.

NEXA Mortgage, LLC (NMLS #1660690) is the lender; AXEN Realty does not make loans. AXEN Realty and NEXA Mortgage are affiliated companies. You are never required to use NEXA Mortgage or any AXEN-affiliated lender. Compare lenders, and ask your agent for the written Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure before you choose. Rates, programs and approval depend on your credit, income, property and lender guidelines. Equal Housing Lender.
