Commission Visibility
See a forecasted commission — split, referral fee, and all — the day a deal goes under contract, checked against the actual closing statement instead of trusted blind.
Built for: Broker-owners who can't say what a commission is worth until the closing statement arrives, and agents who want their own forecast visible before then.
Where this breaks down today
No one can say what a commission is actually worth until the closing statement arrives
- A commission figure is not confirmed until the closing statement lands from the title company.
- A broker-owner with more than one office cannot see production or pipeline across all of them.
- Marketing spend cannot be tied back to which listings or agents it actually helped close.
How The Forge addresses it
- 1
Commission forecast to approval to reconciliation
A projected commission is calculated the moment a deal goes under contract, requires a second-person approval before disbursement, and is checked against the actual closing statement so a mismatch is flagged instead of quietly absorbed.
What employees see
- Agent: their own commission forecast and history, not other agents' figures.
- Team Lead: cannot view commission or compliance detail for agents outside their team.
What managers control
- Broker-Owner: commission forecasts and reconciliation for the full brokerage, and configures compensation plans.
- Broker-Owner: cross-office production, marketing spend versus closed volume, rolled up across every office and team.
Integrations required
- Your back-office commission and disbursement systems
- Your accounting and payroll software (stays the record for the money)
Security & data
Referral-fee and anti-kickback considerations (including RESPA where applicable) are determined by the brokerage's compliance process — The Forge tracks the agreed fee, it does not evaluate its legality.

Lead Routing
Every inbound lead is routed to an agent within minutes, by a rule the whole team can see — not a habit a few people benefit from.
ExploreAI Receptionist
Every call — live, missed, or voicemail — lands on the same lead record and routes by the brokerage's own rule, so a 6:40pm call never depends on who's near a phone.
ExploreTransaction Management
Every transaction's milestones and deadlines are tracked from contract to closing, so a financing contingency doesn't surface as a surprise the week of closing.
