A commission advance gives agents the opportunity to collect their earnings from a sale before the closing date. Our service provides the agent with necessary cash flow Doing so can give an agent much-needed cash flow to… vacation, tuition, IRS, etc.

In addition to our standard commission advance, we offer the Steady Income Program (SIP). SIP allows agents to receive an advance, not in one lump sum, but spread out over a number of months to create steady cash flow.

Commission Before Closing will advance up to 90% of a sales commission.

Fees are percent based. We base fees on a simple calculation that references the time delta between the day you receive the advance and the closing date. To calculate fees on a specific transaction, please use our calculator.

There are no hidden fees. Commission Before eClosing is a transparent organization and we provide all costs before an agent commits.
