What is a Commission Advance?

A commission advance is a financial service that is offered by a third-party company that will advance a pending commission for a fee when you have a mutually acceptable transaction under contract. In exchange for the fee, funds are advanced to you before closing. The funds that are advanced is a loan and it is tied to a specific transaction. Should that transaction not close for any reason, the loan is still required to be paid back to the third-party company. 

Real cannot and doesn’t make any representations about any commission advance third-party company. Real must sign to agree to the Advance terms with the third-party advance company and repay the funds on the agent's behalf.
