Standard Funding (Landlord Representation)
Now let’s walk through standard funding—how you get paid when representing the landlord on a lease.
Unlike traditional sales, there is no title company involved. Instead of issuing a CDA, we generate an invoice and send it directly to the landlord.
From there, the process is straightforward—but timing and accuracy matter.

What to do if you receive the check directly
How long deposits and internal processing take
If the landlord mails the check, expect mailing and processing delays. If you handle the check directly, you can speed things up by depositing it correctly.
Once funds are received, allow approximately five business days for processing before your commission is released via direct deposit.
Standard funding follows a simple sequence: invoice, deposit, process.
