Allocating Commissions Splits
Once a sale has moved from status 'Available' to either Under Contract or Unconditional the commission's tab of the sale will display transaction details, including sale price, key dates and gross commission.
Commissions can be allocated for agents with roles that attract commission i.e. listing and selling agents, internal conjunction agents (branch model only), and external conjunction agents added to the listing.
1. Ensure all relevant agents and referral agents are added against the listing card via the Agents & Contacts tab.
2. If Mandatory Commission Splits is enabled in the System Config, then commission allocation is required when setting a listing to Under-Contract/Conditional (if enabled by support) or Unconditional.
Once an offer has been accepted and the listing is moving to either Conditional or Unconditional the Gross Commission Allocation will appear under the date section.
3. Select the Allocation Type; Internal Conjunction - to split the commission between two or more internal offices and any external conjunctional agents (Branch Model Only) or Standard - to split the commission between agents and any external conjunctional agents. Note: if the conjunctional agent is not in the list check that the agent has been added correctly on the Agents & Contacts tab.
