Teams Overview
Overview
Epique supports four types of team structures for agents who want to collaborate, share branding, or operate as a group. Each team type has its own cap structure, fee structure, eligibility requirements, and formation rules.
This page explains the differences between team types and helps you determine which structure fits your situation. Each team type has its own dedicated page with full details.
The Four Team Types
Team Type | Best For | Cap (Members) | Monthly Fee (Members) |
|---|---|---|---|
Family Team | Family members working together | $10,000 | $99 |
Traditional Team | Established agents building a team | $10,000 | $99 |
Unofficial Team | Agents sharing a brand name only | Standard individual cap | Standard individual fee |
Power Team | High-volume teams hitting elite production benchmarks | $5,000 | $99 |
Team leaders have their own cap and fee structure regardless of team type. See individual team pages for full details.
What All Teams Have in Common
Regardless of team type, every team at Epique must comply with the following:
DBA Required
Any team using a team name must register a DBA locally in accordance with state laws and requirements. The team name must also be registered with the state real estate licensing authority and approved by the Company before use.
Logo and Brand Approval
Team logos, colors, and branding must be submitted to and approved by the Company in writing before use.
Newly Licensed Agents
Newly licensed agents — or agents who have not yet closed any transactions — may only join an Unofficial Team or a Family Team upon onboarding. They must be with Epique for a minimum of one year before becoming eligible to join a Traditional Team or Power Team.
Newly Licensed Spouses
When a spousal partnership includes a newly licensed agent, that agent may not be placed on a Traditional Team or Power Team. Spouses on these team structures are prohibited from closing all or the majority of their transactions through the reduced-cap spouse.
Internal Recruitment Limits
To maintain sustainability within the brokerage, all team types have limits on how many active Epique agents a team leader can recruit internally. See individual team pages for specific limits.
Power Award Eligibility
Team members on any team type are still eligible for the Power Award regardless of their commission cap structure. Stock awards are calculated based on the member's current cap at the time of achievement.
