Some transactions have different fees, rebates, additional commissions, reimbursements, etc. These need to be added before you approve your commission calculation to make sure everyone is paid correctly.

Fee Types
If you need to enter a referral or commission split to a co-agent, team member, or team lead, the process is a little different. So check out:
For all other types of fees, here is some guidance:
Fee Type | When to Use | What happens: |
Payment Participant | To pay part of the gross commission income.
|
The gross commission will be split according to the % or $ amount you enter. |
Rebate | A rebate or credit you are paying to the buyer/seller at closing from your commission.
|
This will appear as a credit on the settlement statement. This will be deducted from your gross commission and the buyer will receive a credit (discount to purchase price) and/or the seller will receive a credit (additional funds due at closing). |
MLS | MLS closing fees paid on a per transaction basis. (Do not select if you pay MLS fees monthly). | The fee will be deducted from your net commission. Real will collect the fee and remit it to the MLS on your behalf. |
Transaction Coordinator |
Fee that will be paid to a transaction coordinator from your net commission at closing. Only for offices that pay the agents at the table. Do not select if you pay your transaction coordinator separately. Always confirm you are paying transaction coordinators in accordance regulations. |
This will be subtracted from the net commission income of the agent. This means that first the split or post cap fee to Real will be deducted, and then the amount to the transaction coordinator will be paid out by Real. |
Rebates & Additional Commission
Type | When to Use | What happens: |
Additional Commission | Any additional income on top of gross income
|
This will be added to the amount due at closing and collected from the buyer or seller. This will behave as normal gross commission, with a % going to Real (if you are not capped). This will count toward your cap and elite agent award. |
Reimbursement |
Money you receive from the buyer/seller for an expense you paid out-of-pocket on their behalf.
|
This will be added to the amount due at closing and collected from the buyer or seller. You (the agent) will receive 100% of this amount as a passthrough. |
