Director Opportunity
KW Commercial · Keller Williams Realty Phoenix
An opportunity for experienced producers

Build a $500K+
Commercial Real Estate Business

With leverage. Not burnout.

You have already proven you can produce. The real question is: do you want to keep doing everything yourself, or build something bigger?

Most experienced commercial agents hit a ceiling between $250,000 and $350,000 per year. Not because of a lack of opportunity, but because they have run out of time.

At Solex CRE, the Director role is not just a title. It is an opportunity to lead a commercial division, scale beyond your personal production, and plug into deal flow, partnerships, and systems that accelerate growth.


Why experienced producers hit a wall

Independent agents run out of time before they run out of opportunity. The Director role breaks that ceiling by adding two income streams that work while you work.

Personal production only

Team leadership earnings
Solex CRE joint deals

Three income streams working together

When you combine personal production with team leadership earnings and Solex CRE deal flow, the math changes entirely.

What this actually looks like

Most independent agents hit a ceiling at $250,000 to $350,000 per year due to lack of leverage. Here is exactly how a Director breaks through it, with traceable math on every line.

Personal production - $180,000

Close 12 deals per year at an average gross commission of $25,000. At a 60% split that is $180,000 net to you. This is a realistic target for an experienced commercial producer, roughly one deal per month. At Solex CRE you have the support systems and infrastructure to keep your pipeline moving without slowing down to lead.

Team leadership earnings - approximately $160,000

Build a team of 8 agents averaging $200,000 in GCI each. That is $1,600,000 in team GCI. You earn a 10% leadership fee on every dollar your team produces, net to you after the agent split has already been applied. The more you invest in recruiting and mentoring, the more this number grows without additional personal deal work.

Solex CRE joint deals - approximately $160,000

As a Director you gain access to co-brokering opportunities on Solex CRE transactions. Splits are already applied. This is deal flow most independent producers never have access to on their own.

The ceiling is not your market. It is your model. With leverage, a team, a platform, and deal flow, you can break through it.


How you get paid

Personal production split

Your split escalates as your production grows:

Production levelDirector splitSolex split

Team leadership earnings

Earn a 10% leadership fee on all GCI generated by agents you recruit and lead. This is calculated after the agent split, net to you, with nothing coming out of your agents pockets. As your team grows, so does this income stream.

December 2025 – Knowing the Numbers In Commercial Real Estate

Office Market

The Phoenix office market has reached a tentative turning point as vacancy edges down to 16.3% following four consecutive quarters of positive absorption. Demand has improved due to increased renewals, owner-user acquisitions, and steadier in-person attendance, though overall leasing volumes remain below pre-COVID norms. With virtually no new supply—less than 600,000 SF delivered in the past year—space options in premier buildings are tightening, driving rent gains at the top end even as overall asking rents grow a modest 2.2%. Non-premium suburban product continues to struggle, and elevated sublease availability remains a headwind. Roughly 5.5 million SF of pandemic-era occupancy losses still need to be backfilled, and economic uncertainty tempers the outlook. Recovery is expected to be gradual, with improvement led by a shrinking pool of high-quality space.

INDUSTRIAL MARKET

The Phoenix industrial market is showing early signs of stabilization as vacancy levels off at 12.7% following several years of heavy speculative construction that far outpaced demand. Net absorption reached 17.1 million SF over the past year, supported by logistics, retail-related, and advanced manufacturing users, yet still trails the 21.8 million SF of new deliveries. Large modern buildings remain the softest segment with vacancy near 16%, while small-bay space stays comparatively tight in the low-5% range. Rent growth has slowed sharply to 4.4% as landlords face heightened competition from abundant new supply. With 10.9 million SF still under construction—roughly half of it spec—vacancy is expected to stay elevated through 2026 before gradually improving as deliveries recede and demand continues normalizing.

MULTI-FAMILY MARKET

Phoenix’s multifamily market continues to grapple with a deep supply-demand imbalance. Vacancy has risen to 12.9% as more than 22,800 new units delivered over the past year—triple the pre-COVID norm—outpaced a strong 15,700 units of absorption. Despite resilient renter demand supported by demographics, wage gains, and high barriers to homeownership, the construction wave has pushed rent growth firmly negative at –3.4%. Concessions are widespread, especially in luxury lease-ups where six to twelve weeks free is common. Another 21,000 units remain underway, concentrating pressure in Downtown, Tempe, and the West Valley. While cooling starts suggest relief ahead in late 2026, the market must still work through a substantial inventory overhang, keeping vacancy elevated and rent performance weak in the near term.

3 STAR 154K 12.0% $1,387 192 5K
1 & 2 STAR 62K 9.9% $1,162 -96 0

RETAIL MARKET

Phoenix retail fundamentals remain tight despite a modest rise in availability to 4.9%, driven by recent national bankruptcies and select small-business closures. Robust population growth, rising incomes, and low unemployment continue to fuel strong tenant demand, helping the market absorb newly vacated big-box space at a steady pace. Construction remains limited, with only 2.5 million SF delivered in the past year and most of the 3.7 million SF pipeline already preleased. Rent growth has decelerated to 4.4% but still outperforms national trends, supported by healthy leasing spreads built during the post-pandemic surge. While softer economic conditions and tariff uncertainty could slow demand, the combination of restrained supply, strong demographics, and highly competitive small-shop leasing is expected to keep the retail market stable with only gradual normalization.
