Survival & Success

Cash-flow will continue to be the key to Survival & Success in 2010

In the highly competitive world of real estate sales, the need to maintaining a healthy & consistent cash flow is critical to survival and success. Lack of working capital can kill any business, even a profitable one. Maintaining a regular cash-flow is likely to be the number one issue facing many real esate businesses in 2010.

Express Commission can help. Express Commission offer an innovative and specialised service which allows real estate agencies to turn unsettled sales entitlements (commissions and vendor funded advertising expenses) into cash, within 4 hours.  This service gives agencies increased working capital flexibility and firepower in order to drive listings, sales growth & profitability.

What’s more, the process is simple, easy and confidential and requires no bricks & mortar security, no loans or long term contracts.

Here's how it works:

Step 1. - You close the sale of a property.
Step 2. - Once the sale is unconditional, you forward details of the agency entitlement (sales commission etc) and sales contract to Express Commission.
Step 3. - Express Commission makes an immediate payment of up to 100% of the entitlement value, less a reserve to cover fees.
Step 4. - Following settlement, the agent’s entitlement is released to Express Commission.  

Effectively this means the typical 30 -120 day payment delay is eliminated. Upfront access to funds provides agencies the flexibility to stay ahead of the game; whether it be through investing in more advertising, attracting top sales talent or simply meeting fixed business expenses.

There is an emerging industry acceptance of cash flow finance in Australia. Since commencing operations in 2005, industry specialists Express Commission have experienced extraordinary growth in real estate commission advances. They are Australia's largest & most trusted provider of real estate commission advance funding. They provide working capital to leading independent Agencies throughout Australia as well as members of Australia’s most successful real estate franchises including:
