How To Create a Pre Construction or Presale Transaction 

in ReZen with commission pre-payment or installments 

Pre Construction or Presale Transactions are the purchase of new property before it is built. Typically real estate agents get paid a portion(s) of the commission at scheduled times before the transaction completes, for example within a number of days of it being firm, or to coincide with buyer deposit installments. This commission pre-payment or installments is often seen as an advance by developers and may be clawed back in the event of a buyer not completing. The remaining balance of the commission is paid upon the successful completion (for example – when the construction of the building is complete as well as the execution of the purchase) of the presale or pre-construction property at title is transferred to the buyer. Each payment activity needs to be entered as a transaction, and closed out, in order for the agent to receive each payment installment.

2. Click “Create Referral” to create a referral transaction for EACH commission installment PRIOR to the final payment

• Enter the Estimated Close Date as the date that each commission installment would be due.
