Vince Young Realty gives every agent a custom luxury website as part of joining, with no separate website bill. The brokerage model around it is simple: a 90/10 commission split, a $250 flat monthly fee and no transaction fees on sales or leases.
Plenty of brokerages advertise a "free website." Before you count it as a perk, check which of two very different things you are being offered. One is a real website with your name at the top, a home search and a form that sends leads to you. The other is a roster page on the company site with your headshot and a phone number. Both get called a website in recruiting conversations. Only one of them works for you at 11 p.m. when a buyer is browsing.
A roster page lives on the brokerage's domain, carries the brokerage's navigation and usually routes inquiries to a shared inbox or an office lead pool. It is useful for credibility. It is not a marketing asset you control.
An agent website should pass four tests:
The site Vince Young Realty includes is built to pass all four.
Each agent site is built on Savvy Studio, the same platform the AGNT AI suite runs on. Three pieces do most of the work:
It sits next to the rest of the kit: free yard signs, listing print, a mobile app for you and a branded app experience for your buyers.
Many agent sites are built as single-page apps that load their content with JavaScript after the page opens. A person sees a full page. A crawler that does not run the script may see an almost empty one.
Savvy Studio sites are server-rendered: the text, listings and headings are in the HTML when the page is delivered. That matters because a growing share of buyers and sellers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI answers before they ever click a link. If an answer engine cannot read your page, it cannot cite you. We cover this in more depth in how Austin agents get found on ChatGPT and AI search.
Suppose, as a round hypothetical, that a custom design, hosting and an IDX subscription cost an independent agent $150 a month. That is $1,800 a year for the website alone.
At Vince Young Realty the entire brokerage fee is $250 a month, or $3,000 a year, and the website is one of the things it covers, along with signs, listing print, the apps and the AI CRM. Now add the split. On a hypothetical $500,000 sale at a 3% commission (rates are negotiable in Texas), gross is $15,000. At 90/10 you keep $13,500. At a traditional 70/30 split you keep $10,500. That single $3,000 difference covers a full year of the monthly fee.

It depends on the brokerage, which is why the phrase needs a follow-up question. Sometimes it means a profile page on the company site. Sometimes it means a standalone site with your name, IDX search and lead capture. The useful definition is the second one: a site that carries your brand, lets buyers search homes and sends every lead to you. At Vince Young Realty, the included site is that kind: a custom luxury website on Savvy Studio, server-rendered, with IDX search and leads flowing into your CRM.
The website is included as part of what the brokerage provides. It is not billed as a separate website subscription. The brokerage terms are a 90/10 split, a flat $250 monthly fee and no transaction fees on sales or leases. For the complete fee schedule, including anything that applies when you first join, ask us on a call at (512) 785-7489. We would rather you see every number in writing before you decide.
A custom site takes longer than flipping on a template, because the design, bio, service areas and search setup are built around you. The exact timeline depends on how quickly you send photos, copy and preferences, and on where you are in the license transfer. Ask us on a call for the current build timeline. In the meantime, your license move, CRM setup and app access can run in parallel, so the website does not hold up anything else.
A DIY builder gives you design control, but you still have to buy and wire up IDX, connect forms to a CRM and make sure crawlers can read the pages. Many builders render content with JavaScript, which can hide text from some AI crawlers. A brokerage-provided site like the one at Vince Young Realty arrives with IDX search, CRM lead capture and server rendering already done. The tradeoff to check is ownership of the domain and content if you leave, so ask about that directly.
IDX, or Internet Data Exchange, lets brokers display other brokers' MLS listings on their sites under MLS rules. Because IDX access runs through the sponsoring broker, an agent's site typically gets its feed through the brokerage, which is one reason an included site is valuable. On Vince Young Realty agent sites, IDX search is built in: visitors browse listings, save homes and create saved searches, and those accounts become contacts in your CRM. MLS display rules, such as listing attribution, still apply.
This is the most common pitfall with any included website, anywhere. IDX feeds, brokerage branding and sometimes the domain are tied to the sponsoring broker, so a site usually has to change when your license moves. A practical habit: register your personal domain in your own name and keep copies of your bio, photos and blog posts. Read your independent contractor agreement for what it says about content and domains, and ask us on a call how that works here.
Usually, yes. Buyers in Central Texas search across Travis, Williamson and Hays counties, and many compare Austin with Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Kyle or Buda on price and home size. A site that only talks about one ZIP code misses those searches. Austin also has a large lease market, so renters are part of your audience. An included site with IDX search lets visitors search wherever you work, and you can add pages for the areas you actually serve.
Picture a second-year agent who spent last year paying about $1,800 for a site that never produced a lead, using that round figure as a hypothetical. She joins Vince Young Realty, stops that bill, and gets a custom site with IDX search. A buyer finds her page on a Saturday, saves three homes and sets a new-listing alert. The contact lands in her CRM, Grant drafts a reply, and she calls Monday with the saved homes in front of her.
Most active agents benefit from one. Referrals and past clients will look you up before they call, and a portal profile or roster page does not tell your story or capture the lead for you. The bigger shift is AI search: when someone asks an assistant who to hire, it answers from pages it can read. We go through the full argument, including when a site is not worth it, on our page asking whether Austin agents need their own website.
Because the website is only one part of a package priced to keep more money with you: a 90/10 split, a flat $250 monthly fee, no transaction fees on sales or leases, free yard signs, listing print, a mobile app for you and a branded app for buyers, and the AGNT AI CRM with Grant. There is also access to health and private club benefits; contact us for details. To start, apply at vinceyoungrealty.com/join-us#join-form or call (512) 785-7489.
90/10 split, $250 a month, no transaction fees on sales or leases. Nothing goes to your current brokerage.
