Independent real estate agents collaborating at Golden Hour Real Estate in Florida

Careers at Golden Hour Real Estate

Golden Hour Real Estate is a Florida brokerage designed for independent agents who want to build real income without unnecessary overhead or rigid structures.

We are actively welcoming licensed and soon to be licensed real estate agents in Florida who are comfortable generating their own business and want flexibility, transparency, and long term growth.

If you’re evaluating whether this path makes sense financially, start with how much real estate agents make in Florida and our breakdown of how many deals it takes to make $100k. If you are comparing brokerage options at the same time, see best real estate brokerages in Florida.

Who Thrives at Golden Hour Real Estate

  • Licensed Florida real estate agents (or actively completing licensure)
  • Independent contractors who manage their own leads and pipeline
  • Agents who value flexibility over rigid team structures
  • Investor minded or transaction focused professionals
  • Agents who want a brokerage partner, not a micromanager

Golden Hour is not designed for agents seeking guaranteed leads or daily hand holding. Our model rewards initiative, responsiveness, and professionalism.

If you are comparing working independently versus joining a team, review team vs solo agent income and teams vs brokerages before deciding.

Compensation Structure

Our compensation model is intentionally simple and transparent.

Agents who are fully self sourcing their business often choose our 100% commission structure.

  • 100% commission on self sourced transactions
  • $395 per closing transaction fee
  • Annual transaction fee cap: $5,500
  • Annual brokerage maintenance fee: $495 (waived with 6+ closings)

This model works best for agents who understand their numbers. If you are comparing brokerage economics, review commission splits explained and commission split comparisons to understand what you actually keep.

Mentorship for Newer Agents

For agents early in their careers, we offer optional mentorship.

  • First three transactions completed with an experienced mentor
  • Commission shared directly between agent and mentor
  • Broker does not participate in mentorship splits
  • Focus on contracts, negotiations, timelines, and real world execution

This allows new agents to build confidence quickly while still learning how to operate independently.

If you are just getting started, also review real estate agent expenses in Florida and whether part time real estate income aligns with your expectations.

Brokerage Support & Tools

Golden Hour Real Estate operates a lean support model designed for independent agents.

  • Compliance document review and transaction oversight
  • Broker availability for deal specific questions
  • Scalable systems and CRM support
  • Future company generated lead opportunities (optional)

Our approach is simple: provide real support where it matters, without unnecessary overhead that eats into your income.

Independent Contractor Relationship

All agents operate as 1099 independent contractors.

You control:

  • Your schedule
  • Your marketing strategy
  • Your client relationships
  • Your production goals

This model is ideal for agents who want to build a real business, not just hold a license.

If your current brokerage structure limits that control, review signs you may need to switch brokerages and what to know before leaving.

Part Time vs Full Time Considerations

Golden Hour can work for both part time and full time agents, but expectations should be realistic.

If you are considering part time real estate, review part time real estate agent income in Florida before deciding.

Part time agents must still meet client expectations for responsiveness and professionalism.
