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.

Included on Forge Pro, which adds the advanced reporting commission forecasting and cross-office production depend on.

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. 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.
