What is an Estate Agent Commission Advance?
An Estate Agent Commission Advance is a short-term, transaction-based capital solution. Commission advances are structured against confirmed commission from a property sale pending transfer.
What Happens Once Property Sale Commission is Confirmed:
- Up to 80% of the commission may be advanced
- Repayment is made from the commission proceeds upon transfer - no conventional monthly instalments
- Facilities are aligned to expected conveyancing timelines and the certainty of the transaction
How an Estate Agent Commission Advance Works
An estate agent concludes a sale at R1,500,000 with a confirmed commission of R45,000 (3%). Transfer is expected in 8 weeks. Eido Capital advances up to 80% of the confirmed commission – R36,000 – within 48 hours of approval. Upon registration of transfer and payment of commission, the advance plus agreed costs is settled in a single payment. The agent’s agency is not notified.
