If you invest — or want to — your brokerage choice isn't about office space and floor time. It's about whether the model was built for how you actually make money. Here's the honest comparison.
Traditional brokerages are built around listings: office culture, floor duty, splits that reward retail production. Excellent for retail agents. But wholesale and flip deals sit outside the model — most traditional brokers have never double-closed a deal and don't want the perceived risk.
Cloud brokerages like eXp Realty removed the office and added revenue share and stock programs — a real innovation, at national scale, for the general agent population. What they don't do is specialize: the training, leads, and broker support are built for the average agent, who lists houses.
Myers Home Buyers takes the cloud model and builds it exclusively for the investor-agent. Same no-office economics — overhead we don't spend flows to agents — but the training teaches deal underwriting, the broker of record has personally flipped 3,000+ houses, the company hands agents seller leads, and transactional funding is there when a closing needs it.
| Myers Home Buyers | Cloud brokerages (e.g., eXp) | Traditional brokerage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Investor-agents: wholesale, flip, list | The general agent population | Listing-first retail agents |
| Seller leads provided | Yes — company seller leads + Carrot site/CRM at onboarding | Generally no — you source your business | Sometimes, varies by office |
| Where the commission dollar goes | 90% back to the agent network (60/20/10 split + 10% corporate) | Capped splits; details vary by program | Split with the house; varies widely |
| Revenue share | 10% of GCI, paid 6 levels deep — level 6 pays like level 1 | Yes — multi-level, different curve | Rarely |
| Wholesale & double-close support | Core competency of the broker of record | Not a specialty | Usually avoided |
| Transactional funding | Available when a closing needs it | No | No |
| Training | Live, weekly, investor-led: underwriting, risk, dispo | Broad agent curriculum | Listings and open houses |
| Footprint | Texas, on purpose | National / international | Local |

Ask any brokerage you're considering: "Walk me through how you'd support a double close I have under contract next week." The answer tells you everything. At Myers it's a Tuesday — the broker of record has done thousands of these, the paperwork is standard, and funding is available if the deal needs it. Read the numbers on a real deal in the first-deal math, then the comp structure on the careers page.
Either way — see what the model pays and how the leads work.
The one built for how you make money. If investing is the business — wholesale, flip, list as interchangeable exits — Myers was built for exactly that: seller leads provided, investor-led training, transactional funding support, and 90% of every commission dollar returned to the agent network. If you're a listing-first agent, a general-population brokerage may fit better.
Yes. A licensed agent with an investor-friendly broker of record can assign contracts, flip, or list — every exit stays available. That combination is the whole Myers model.
Texas Occupations Code §1101.0045 lets an unlicensed wholesaler assign a contract only with written disclosure of their equitable interest. A license removes that constraint and adds exits. Myers recruits experienced wholesalers and helps them operate licensed.
