Put Down Roots. Grow Your Business.

Yes. Root & Branch Realty Group is locally owned and operated by Joe and Kara Becker. We operate independently of a national franchise, with decisions made here in Central Oregon.

Our standard split is 80/20: the agent receives 80% and the brokerage receives 20%, until the agent reaches the annual brokerage cap.

The annual brokerage cap is $11,500. Once your brokerage split contributions reach that amount, the 80/20 split no longer applies for the remainder of that calendar year. The cap resets January 1. The $100 transaction fee continues to apply.

There is no monthly brokerage fee. A $100 transaction fee applies per transaction. Licensing, MLS, association, insurance, and other business expenses should be reviewed separately so you understand your full costs.

Root & Branch is independently owned, and our affiliated agents operate as independent contractors. You manage your business and schedule within clear brokerage standards, with principal broker supervision and support. We review the affiliation agreement and expectations with you before you join.

Your client database belongs to you. We value the relationships you build and want you to develop a business with lasting value. Brokerage records and transaction files remain subject to brokerage policies and applicable requirements.

Brokerage-paid leads belong to the receiving agent. When one closes, a 25% referral fee is payable to the Managing Broker. We review the written terms, including how referral fees interact with other compensation, before you accept a lead.

Our approach centers on principal broker guidance, collaboration, coaching, and practical business development. We can walk you through our current tools, learning resources, and Studio Time approach to show how they fit your business.

We operate as a virtual brokerage, combining flexibility with shared systems, communication, and principal broker support. We can discuss your needs for client meetings and working space during our conversation.

Foundations is our structured broker development program, combining coaching, guided practice, and support with brokerage systems and client service. Progress is based on demonstrated skills and confidence. We will discuss how your experience and development needs fit the program when we meet.

Character matters more than production alone. We look for agents who demonstrate integrity and humility, welcome coaching, take initiative, and follow through. A strong fit puts client care ahead of commission, owns mistakes, respects brokerage systems, and contributes to the team’s success. Whether established or building momentum, you can expect guidance and support while taking an active role in growing your business and strengthening our culture.

We serve Central Oregon, including Prineville and Powell Butte, Redmond, and Madras and Culver. Our work includes residential, commercial, land, farm and ranch, recreational, and luxury properties.

Absolutely. Start with a confidential conversation with Joe. We will discuss your goals, answer your questions, and help you evaluate whether Root & Branch is a good fit. There is no obligation to make a move.
