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
$0 to $250,000 GCI60%40%
$250,000+ GCI70%30%

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.

Performance bonus

When your personal production reaches $20,000 GCI per month consistently, Solex CRE will reimburse your CoStar or Crexi subscription, reducing your overhead and rewarding your productivity.

Solex CRE joint deal flow

Access to co-brokering opportunities on Solex CRE transactions. Splits are defined per deal and already applied to your income figure. This is the third stream most independent agents never have access to on their own.

September 2025 – Knowing the Numbers In Commercial Real Estate

Office Market

Phoenix’s office market shows signs of stabilization, with vacancy at 16.3% after three quarters of positive absorption totaling 850K SF. Demand is focused on premium buildings in top submarkets, while older, non-premium stock continues to struggle. New supply remains minimal, reducing pressure on leasing fundamentals. Rent growth hit 2.0%, though effective rents may be flat or declining due to elevated tenant improvement (TI) concessions. The future recovery hinges on how quickly tenants absorb lower-tier space and whether obsolete buildings are repurposed or removed from inventory.

SUB-MARKET TOTAL SF AVAILABLE VACANCY RATE MARKET RENT NET ABSORPTION SF UNDER CONSTRUCT SF
TOTAL: 195M 16.3% $29.48 972K 868K
4 & 5 STAR 70M 25.6% $34.35 564K 517K
3 STAR 89M 12.6% $27.95 413K 351K
1 & 2 STAR 36M 7.1% $23.70 -5K 0

INDUSTRIAL MARKET

Phoenix’s industrial market is adjusting to elevated vacancy, now at 12.3%, driven by the recent delivery of nearly 28M SF over 12 months. Absorption remains solid at 17M SF, with tenant demand led by logistics and manufacturing users. The construction pipeline has slowed considerably, easing future supply pressure. Asking rent growth has moderated to 1.2%, reflecting normalization after the pandemic boom. Smaller bay properties outperform larger assets, and long-term fundamentals remain favorable thanks to Phoenix’s strategic location, population growth, and infrastructure investment .

TOTAL: 503M 12.0% $13.53 4.6M 25M

SPECIALIZED 103M 5.4% $14.16 125K 9M
FLEX 32M 8.1% $19.00 -128K 634K

MULTI-FAMILY MARKET

The multifamily market in Phoenix remains oversupplied, with vacancy at 11.7% and over 21,000 units delivered in the past year. Renter demand is strong, yet new construction continues to outpace absorption. Rent growth remains negative at -1.6%, though it has improved from prior lows. Concessions are widespread, particularly in Class A properties, while workforce housing shows resilience. Starts have slowed considerably, signaling an eventual rebalancing. Recovery is likely in late 2026, assuming supply pressure eases and Phoenix’s demographic strengths continue to drive household formation .

SUB-MARKET TOTAL SF AVAILABLE VACANCY RATE MARKET RENT NET ABSORPTION UNITS UNDER CONSTRUCT UNITS
TOTAL: 422K 12.0% $1,572 3,873 22K
4 & 5 STAR 209K 13.4% $1,786 3,345 17K
3 STAR 150K 11.2% $1,409 598 5K
1 & 2 STAR 64K 9.4% $1,168 -70 142

RETAIL MARKET

Phoenix’s retail market remains fundamentally tight, with a 4.7% vacancy rate despite a modest uptick in closures. Strong demographics, income growth, and low unemployment are driving healthy tenant demand. Availability rose to 5.1%—still below pre-pandemic norms—due to national brand bankruptcies and small business exits. Limited new supply, concentrated in growing suburbs, supports long-term fundamentals. Rent growth eased to 4.3% from 6.1% a year ago but remains well above national averages. While risks from tariffs and slower consumption loom, the lack of overbuilding should cushion downside impacts.

SUB-MARKET TOTAL SF AVAILABLE VACANCY RATE MARKET RENT NET ABSORPTION SF UNDER CONSTRUCT SF
