Our real estate commission advances are quick, low cost, straight forward and confidential

  1. Quick: Commission advances often wired in one business day
  2. Low cost: 5% discount fee for up to 30 days. For example a $6,000 commission advance for up to 30 days will cost $300 or a $9,000 commission advance would cost $450 for up to 30 days. The minimum charge for a commission advance is $300.

Commission Advance FAQs:

What is a commission advance?

A real estate commission advance allows an agent to be paid their commission on a pending transaction prior to the close date for a fee. Said another way, an agent sells Blue Summit Realty the rights to a certain amount of their commission for a discount in return for a lump sum of money.

 

Is there a maximum amount of commission advance I can request?

Currently we take it on a case by case basis but there is no specific dollar amount.

 

What percentage of the net commission can I request for a commission advance?

In many instances we can go up to 90% of the net commission for a commission advance.

 

How do I pay the real estate commission advance back?

Escrow or the settlement team will mail or wire us a check at closing from the sale proceeds. This shows up as a payment to Blue Summit Realty on the settlement statement having been deducted from your commission.

 

Where is your office located?

We are located at 4705 Lacey Blvd SE, Lacey, WA 98503

 

Will you give a commission advance on a listing

At this point we are only doing commission advances on homes under contract.

 

Does an inspection contingency have to be satisfied prior to commission advance.

We would look at this on a case by case basis. Generally a seasoned real estate agent with multiple transactions under contract would qualify for a commission advance prior to the inspection contingency being satisfied.
