Notes
Figures are from the official KW California Premier value book PDF that loaded on this date. The PDF filename metadata says 'Updated 12/11' without a year; confirm current terms with the market center. monthly_fee_usd of $135 is the published monthly E&O/tech option, not stacked with the $1,450 upfront option. Association, MLS, and ekey fees are published as third-party costs and are not included in brokerage fields. KW profit share is recorded as revenue_share true in the KW sense.
