One approved brokerage. Every agent in it.
In Virginia, commissions are paid to and through the broker. A commission advance requires your office to acknowledge the assignment and redirect the agent's share at closing — that's the whole ask.
Brokerage office / agents meeting
No cost and no liability change to your office.
Doesn't alter your commission split or E&O exposure.
Most acknowledgments take minutes to sign.
Helps you retain agents managing cash flow between closings.
What it requires of your office
A single, one-page acknowledgment per transaction confirming the pending commission and the redirection of the agent's share at closing — the same kind of instruction your office already handles for referral fees and payoffs.
The brokerage isn't a party to the advance itself. There's no cost, no change to your E&O exposure, and no change to how commissions are split in-house.
