Now Hiring Licensed Brokers Across Washington State
RSVP Brokers ERA is hiring! If you're a licensed real estate broker in Washington looking to work with a brokerage that has a competitive fee structure and provides real support, we'd love to talk with you.
We're a fully remote brokerage, so you can work with us from anywhere in the state. Around 250 brokers work for RSVP today, serving clients in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Thurston Counties, in cities such as Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Kirkland, Renton, Redmond, Bothell, Olympia, and Bremerton. There's no office to report to and no commute, so where you live doesn't limit the support you get.
Whether you're searching for a real estate career near you, comparing brokerages to join, or looking for somewhere better to land, we're happy to have a confidential, no-pressure conversation with you.
How RSVP Brokers ERA's Declining Fee Structure Works
At most brokerages, 30 cents or more of every commission dollar is gone before you're paid, between the brokerage's share and the fees stacked on top of it. Almost no broker ever works that number out, but it decides what your year is worth.
At RSVP, there is no split. Instead, we have a declining fee structure: a platform percentage that steps down as your production builds and stops once you reach the annual maximum, plus a small brokerage services percentage and a flat fee on each transaction, the same whether you close a starter condo or a waterfront listing, and a modest monthly fee. Nothing is hidden, and you get the full schedule in writing before you sign anything.
What is a dollar costing you right now? Pull up your most recent closing statement and enter it below. On a $15,000 commission at RSVP, you would pay 11.7 cents per dollar early in your year, stepping down to 9.7, 7.7, and 5.7 cents as you produce more.
Most brokers know the total that came out of their check, but never work out what it costs them per dollar. Enter your most recent closing and find out, then see the same commission at RSVP.
Steve will walk through your most recent closing with you, line by line, in confidence, and show you how to stop paying 30 cents per dollar and more.

Founded by Brokers, Built for Brokers
RSVP Brokers ERA was founded in 2004 by real estate brokers Steve Kloetsch (CEO) and Andy Kloetsch (COO and Designated Broker). As a father-and-son real estate team, they experienced firsthand how much of their hard-earned commission went to brokerage splits that didn't match the value they received. Together, they started RSVP to build the brokerage they wished they'd had.
Today, RSVP is a family-owned, fully remote Washington State brokerage with around 250 licensed brokers serving communities across the state. While our official headquarters are in Bellevue, Washington, our brokers can work from anywhere. We've grown by doing one thing well: keeping costs low and support high so brokers can focus on their clients, not their overhead.
Here's what sets us apart:
- Competitive fee structure: Our fully remote model eliminates physical office overhead, so that the savings go directly back to you.
- Broker-friendly fee structure: Simple, transparent, and designed by founders who've been on the other side of unfair splits.
- Direct access to leadership: Andy Kloetsch, our Designated Broker, and our full support staff are a call or message away. You won't go through layers of management to get answers.
Named a RealTrends Verified brokerage, a Puget Sound Business Journal Hall of Fame honoree, and one of the fastest-growing private companies in Washington State, RSVP is proof that putting brokers first works.

ERA Real Estate is an international real estate franchisor with 2,300+ offices across 30+ countries and a 99.2% client recommendation rating. As an RSVP Brokers ERA agent, you gain access to ERA's globally recognized brand, referral network, training programs, and marketing tools, all while working for a locally owned, family-run Washington brokerage. RSVP became one of the largest companies in the ERA system when it affiliated in September 2021.
RSVP Brokers ERA is an independently owned and operated ERA franchise. ERA Franchise Systems LLC, which operates the ERA Real Estate system, is a subsidiary of Compass International Holdings (NYSE: COMP), so RSVP is part of the Compass International Holdings network through ERA. RSVP is not a Compass brokerage office, and brokers who join RSVP are licensed with RSVP Brokers ERA.
RSVP is family-owned and operated, founded in 2004 by Steve Kloetsch (CEO) and Andy Kloetsch (COO and Designated Broker). Before founding RSVP, Steve and Andy worked as a broker team and experienced firsthand how much of their hard-earned commission went to brokerage fees that didn't match the value they received. That experience is why RSVP was built around keeping costs low and putting more money back in brokers' pockets. Decisions are made by people who know the agents, not a corporate board. Combined with a fully remote model, dedicated tech support staff (not a help ticket), direct access to the designated broker, and the global reach of ERA Real Estate, it's a structure designed to help brokers keep more income while getting more support. RSVP is a RealTrends Verified brokerage, a Puget Sound Business Journal Hall of Fame honoree, and was named one of the fastest-growing private companies in Washington State.
Brokers at RSVP Brokers ERA pay a declining fee structure rather than a traditional commission split. Washington brokers pay a platform percentage that steps down as their annual production grows and stops once they reach the annual maximum. They also pay a small brokerage services percentage and a flat fee on each transaction, which is the same whether the home is a starter condo or a waterfront listing, plus a modest monthly fee. Nothing is hidden, and every broker gets the full fee schedule in writing before signing. Brokers can use the calculator on this page to compare what each commission dollar costs them now with what it would cost at RSVP. Steve Kloetsch, RSVP's CEO, will also walk through any broker's most recent closing statement in confidence.
RSVP Brokers ERA has around 250 licensed brokers serving communities across Washington State, with registered offices in Bellevue and Seattle. As a RealTrends Verified brokerage, RSVP has grown steadily since its founding in 2004, expanding through its fully remote model and broker-friendly fee structure.
RSVP takes a different approach than most brokerages when it comes to leads. While we do have ERA's lead routing system that distributes inquiries from our website, our real focus is on helping brokers build sustainable business pipelines through their sphere of influence (SOI). We believe that strong relationships, not cold leads, are what drive long-term success in real estate. Our staff includes a Buffini Certified Mentor who leads coaching programs such as "100 Days to Greatness," helping brokers strengthen their referral networks and grow their business organically.
Contact us by emailing us at Join@rsvpRE.com. All inquiries are confidential. You'll have a private conversation with our leadership team about fit, commission structure, and how we can support your growth. Whether you're newly licensed or an experienced broker ready for a change, we look forward to getting to know you.
