THE PIVOT PROMISE
Modern tools. Real people. No corporate nonsense.
Patience over pressure
No rushing, no jargon, no question too small. We move at your pace and make sure you actually understand every step.
We use smart tech — and we're not shy about it
We're a young brokerage that leans on good tools to cut busywork and overhead. That means a faster, cleaner process — no corporate bloat, no "that's how it's always been done."
A real person, always in reach
The tech handles the paperwork; a real person handles you. Call or text and you'll reach someone who knows your deal — start to finish.
THE PIVOT STANDARD
"Pivot was built around one promise: you'll always know where you stand, what things cost, and what happens next. Our job is to hand you the information you need to make the best decision for your situation — not to steer you toward one. Whoever you work with here, that's the standard."
What you can expect from us
Straight answers before you commit to anything
A brokerage that keeps your plans in motion, start to finish
Our broker flipped houses before he got licensed and still buys his own deals. When you call Pivot,
you're talking to people who read a spread the way you do — not an agent who needs the numbers
explained.

You work with your agent. Our team works the file.
Investor listings are handled by a licensed Pivot agent — pricing, negotiation, offer strategy, and
every decision that requires a license. Behind that, a support team keeps transactions moving:
coordination, paperwork, marketing production, and closing logistics.
That's the whole structure. Direct access to a licensed agent, without the bottleneck that usually comes with it.
Broker guidance on anything requiring a license, with admin support from my team keeping the rest moving
We're selective about the investor work we take on.
Every investor listing gets a licensed agent's full attention on the parts that move the number
— pricing, negotiation, offer strategy — while our support team handles the scheduling,
paperwork, and closing coordination, so nothing sits waiting on one person.
Being selective is what keeps that real: direct access to your agent, and the same agent on your
deal from listing to closing. Schedule a call and we'll work out whether Pivot is the right fit for
how you do business. Either way, you'll get a straight answer on the first call.
Every condition. No retail theater.
As-is, wholetail, cleaned out or untouched, mid-renovation, or finished and staged — we list all of
it. No lectures about paint colors, no pretending a flip is a retail-finish home. Whatever the condition,
we handle it without the extra agent drama.
Every listing includes:
Professional photography coordination
Branded print and digital flyer
Paid social ad set with A/B variants
Agent-to-agent email blast to the local board
One rate. No tiers, no thresholds.
On investor listings the broker handles, Pivot works at a single reduced rate — one number, from
the first deal, not a tier you climb into. We'll give it to you on the call. It reflects what the work
actually is: repeat business, properties that don't need retail-level hand-holding, and a seller who
already knows what their number is.
If your deal is a better fit for one of our agents, we'll make the introduction and you'll agree terms
directly with them — they run their own business and set their own fees. Either way, you'll know
the number before you commit to anything.
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE
Investor pricing is a personal arrangement with the designated broker on a limited number of
listings. It is not a brokerage-wide program and does not automatically extend to transactions
handled by other Pivot agents. All fees are negotiable; buyer-broker compensation is separate and
determined per transaction.
COMING SOON
Investor Agent Network
Private access to other investor agents, off-market deal sharing, and preferred vendor relationships. Not live yet — ask about it on the call.

Licensed, and running your own listings?
If you've already got the license and a handle on your own deals, you don't need to hire a
broker — you need a bigger margin. That's what sponsorship is for. Keep your full
commission and pay flat, published fees instead of a split: $99/month plus a per-transaction fee
that steps down as you close more.
A brokerage built for agents who want to maximize their commissions without the corporate overhead. Whether you flip houses, work part-time, are between deals, or you're full-time looking for something new, get dependable brokerage support and published fees with no percentage split.

Simple services. Agent-first pricing.
Just the support you actually need.
Agent Sponsorship
A clean, reliable brokerage to sponsor your license — with real support and none of the corporate overhead. Keep your commission — no percentage split, just flat published fees — and work on your terms.
Simple, transparent terms →
A Slow Year Costs You Less
Go twelve months without a closed sale and we refund $400 of the sponsorship fees you paid — because a no-transaction year draws on fewer of our services, and we don't charge you for services you didn't use. No plan to sign up for, no status to apply for; it's standard for every agent. Eligibility and terms apply — see your Commissions & Fees Addendum.
$400 refunded →
Agent Support
Full brokerage backing when you need it: contract review, compliance checks, tutorials and education videos from the broker, and direct communication and support when you need it. Newly licensed? You'll be coached and trained hands-on through your first three transactions.

How it works: your per-transaction fee is set by your lifetime closings with Pivot and only steps down as you grow — it never goes up while you're actively sponsored. Leases are a flat $100 and don't count toward your tier. Mandatory monthly and per-closing fees apply.
Slow year? Twelve months with no closed sale and we refund $400 of your sponsorship fees — you don't pay for services you didn't use. Leases don't count.
All sponsored agents remain subject to TREC rules and renewal requirements, broker supervision, and Pivot Real Estate Company brokerage policies.

OUR STORY
We got tired of the old way too.
Pivot Real Estate Company was founded by a full-time real estate investor who was frustrated with traditional brokerages.
We kept watching agents who knew exactly what they were doing — people closing their own flips, managing small portfolios, or simply needing a clean place to park a license — get nickel-and-dimed by big shops that offered nothing in return.
So we built the brokerage we actually wanted to work with: low overhead, high integrity, and zero busywork.
Founded and run by active investors
We know the grind because we live it. That's why our model rewards production instead of punishing it.

Thank you. Application received.
My admin team logs your application and gets it in front of the broker. Every application is reviewed by the broker personally — sponsorship is his decision — and we work diligently to get back to new applicants quickly.
Flat-fee sponsorship, real support, and none of the corporate noise — so more of
your commission stays with you, along with more of your time.
THE WHY
Agents work hard. They should keep it.
Somewhere along the way, real estate got complicated. Commission splits that take a percentage of every check. Layers of overhead. Extra steps that add friction instead of value. You do the work — the calls, the showings, the negotiating, the follow-through — and then hand a share of every commission back through a split.
We think that's backwards. As an independent contractor running your own business, more of what you earn should stay with you. So Pivot works differently: a simple flat monthly fee and a modest per-transaction fee that only steps down as you close more — never a percentage split. Without a split taking a cut, more of every commission stays with you than a percentage model would leave, and the more you close, the less each deal costs.
That's the whole idea behind Pivot — add support, remove friction, and get out of your way. Modern tools where they help, real support without the runaround, and no corporate layers deciding how you run your business.
WHO'S BEHIND IT
Built by someone who's done the work.
Pivot's designated broker, Chris Zakraysek, came up the hands-on way — prior military, an investor since 2015, and licensed in Texas since 2018. He's been part of more than 170 transactions, across personal investments, client sales, and off-market deals, so he understands both sides of the table: the numbers and the people.
That experience shaped a simple conviction. The business has gotten noisier and more expensive than it needs to be, and agents deserve a brokerage that keeps things clear and keeps them first. Pivot is built around that — less overhead, less friction, and more of the commission staying where it was earned.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Simple, and on your side.
Keep more of your commission
A flat monthly fee instead of a percentage split, so more of every commission stays with you.
Freedom to run your business
You're an independent contractor. Build your brand and your book your way.
More support, less friction
Helpful tools and real support — without the corporate layers.
Simple in a noisy world
Straight answers, a clean process, and terms you can actually read.
Pivot to something better.
A flat fee instead of a split. Less hassle, less overhead, and more of your energy going where it counts — your clients and your next deal.
Pivot Real Estate Company charges agents a flat monthly sponsorship fee plus a published per-transaction fee that steps down as lifetime closings grow, and a one-time onboarding fee — it does not take a percentage commission split. Other costs — such as MLS dues, association fees, taxes, and business expenses — still apply. Full pricing is on the Agent Sponsorship page. Individual results vary; Pivot does not guarantee earnings, savings, or transaction volume.
