Real Estate Commission Advance Texas

Best Real Estate Commission Advance Companies – Get Your Money Fast!

Real Estate Commission Advance Texas. A real estate commission advance enables real estate agents in Texas to get their money right away instead of waiting for closing which can take anywhere from thirty days to six months depending on the size of the sale and how many parties are involved in the closing.

And while you wait, you do not have access to that money for marketing, paying employees, paying contractors, investing in new projects, and growing your real estate agent business in Texas.

Why Use a Texas Real Estate Commission Advance

Small business owners who think small tend to stay small. They wait to launch their next marketing campaign after they “save up some money.”  They don’t take on a new deal until they get paid from the last one. They try to finance their growth with their own money (or credit cards) and as a result, they do not grow. They are timid about business finance. They don’t take risks, and they miss opportunities. Real estate agents are no different.

Big businesses operate much differently. They never hesitate to use “other people’s money” to finance their growth. They take out loans, sell debt, sell shares of their ownership, factor their receivables, and take out futures contracts to hedge against inflation. They don’t weigh financial decisions based on whether they can afford something or not, they only worry about falling behind and losing market share. They finance their growth with other people’s money while small business owners (like real estate agents) tend to “wait” and “hope” for growth to happen.

One way for real estate agents to finance their growth is by using a Real Estate Commission Advance to finance growth. A Texas real estate commission advance allows you to receive some of your cash now to finance growth and fund operations instead of waiting for your next closing to get paid.

Why Take Out An Advance on Real Estate Commission?

Cash Flow – Like a lot of businesses, being a real estate agent creates a lot of cash flow struggles, and not just for new realtors. Read our blog post about Cash Flow 101 – Real Estate Commission Advance.

Your bills related to your business, employees, rent for office space, and marketing all have to be paid immediately, which takes money out of your cash account. But you don’t get paid as a real estate agent immediately; you have to do all of the work up front, and then you wait to get paid at closing.

So, you always have money (cash) flowing OUT of your cash account at much more stable intervals than you have cash flowing INTO your cash account from sales activities. This is what causes “cash flow problems” in any type of business.

Any time you have money flowing out on a regular schedule, and you have money coming in on an irregular schedule, you are going to struggle with cash flow.

By using an advance on real estate commission, you shorten the time it takes to get cash into the bank account, which frees you up to keep marketing, take on new deals, fund operations, etc.

Time spent waiting for cash is time lost. It hampers growth, and cheats you out of opportunities. This is the best reason there is to take out an advance on real estate commission.

What is a Texas Real Estate Commission Advance?

A Texas Real Estate Commission advance is a financial vehicle that allows real estate agents to sell a portion of their pending commissions for a fee. They receive some of their money right away and the real estate commission advance company gets paid to do the waiting for them. This allows real estate agents to continue growing, rather than postponing operations or making new deals while they wait for the money at closing from their last real estate deal.

What Are Real Estate Commission Advance Loans?

A real estate commission advance loan is actually a misnomer. We say this because a real estate commission advance loan is not a loan at all. Instead, a real estate commission advance company purchases your commission from you, and gives you the money right away, and they get paid at closing by the closing attorney or designated closing agency.

Real Estate Commissions are Considered an Asset

Any real estate commission that is owed to you at closing is classified as an asset – no different than a stock or bond. And just like a stock or bond, you can sell your pending real estate commission to a third party (real estate commission advance company) at an agreed upon price. Once it is sold, the real estate commission advance company now owns the asset, and they collect the money owed to them at closing directly from the closing attorney or closing agent.

Is a Texas Real Estate Commission Advance a Loan?

A Texas real estate commission advance is not a loan. Instead, companies who finance real estate agent commission advances BUY your pending commission from you. You see, any real estate commission that is owed to you at closing is classified as an asset – no different than a stock or bond is classified as an asset. It is a thing of value. And just like a stock or bond, you can sell your pending real estate commission to a third party (real estate commission advance company) at an agreed upon price. Once it is sold, the real estate commission advance company now owns the asset, and they collect the money owed to them at closing directly from the closing attorney or closing agent.

What Are Some Advantages of a Texas Real Estate Commission Advance?

Speed: The first advantage of a Texas real estate commission advance is speed. Our turnaround is often the same day or next day. You get your money right away instead of waiting for closing, which can sometimes take months. Our real estate commission advance application process is quick and painless.
 

Credit: Since you aren’t taking out a loan, your personal credit isn’t a major factor, which makes the application process much easier – not to mention, these types of advances are almost always approved. Plus, when it comes to borrowing money from a bank, the more money you borrow, the less money they will loan you in the future. They refer to this as debt-to-equity ratio.

Fees: The fees for a Texas real estate commission advance will tend to be much lower than taking out a loan or using a line of credit to finance your operations as a real estate agent. There aren’t any loan origination fees, ongoing interest*, penalties, or annual fees. You pay as you go and you always know up front exactly what you are paying.

 

 *Interest is assessed on and will accrue on any advances that are in default.
