FAQ

Q: If I use the marketing materials to generate my own leads, do I get paid on my normal split with TBG?

A: YES!

Q: How does the commission breakdown work?

A: TBG will participate in the reduction in commission per your split for the qualified transaction

Example HoH Transaction

$300,000 Sales Price

3% commission = $9,000

$1000 credit at escrow = $8,000 commission check to HCA

Your split (65% for example) = $5,850

TBG split (35%) = $2,150

Q: For Buyers, what closing costs can the $1000 be applied to?

A: Any of the costs on the Closing Statement and as allowable by the lender. Closing costs include lender fees, escrow and title fees, HCA fees, transaction fees, home warranty, and any other buyer costs listed on the closing statement. Escrow will apply the $1000 credit per the Commission Instruction signed by the broker.

Q: For Sellers, how does the $1000 credit work?

A: When you list a property owned by one of the qualifying Heroes, you will reduce your listing commission by $1000. For example, you take a 6% listing and in the additional terms area you add this verbiage “$1,000 reduction in total commission owed by seller to be applied at successful close of escrow via the closing statement.”
