If you are looking at RLTY Capital for a commercial leasing commission advance, the key thing to understand is that RLTY is a generalist. It funds commissions across all of real estate, residential and commercial, sales and rentals, whereas Cash For Commish works only in commercial leasing. For a commercial leasing broker, that difference in focus is the heart of the comparison. This page lays out where each fits.
RLTY Capital is the commission advance arm of RLTYco. It buys pending commissions on residential and commercial transactions, including sales and rentals. In most cases it purchases up to 80% of your portion of the commission and funds approved deals within 24 hours. It may run a soft credit check, which it says doesn't affect your score. It doesn't publish its pricing: the cost depends on its underwriting of the deal and the agent, though it advertises no hidden fees and includes a 14-day grace period past the projected closing date (rltyco.com/capital). RLTYco also offers legal, tax and healthcare services for agents (rltyco.com).
One detail commercial brokers should note: if your deal falls through, RLTY says you can request to transfer the outstanding balance into another pending transaction (rltyco.com/capital). In other words, the risk of a failed deal stays with you. It also says it needs no manager approval and doesn't contact your brokerage. Compare that with how any provider you consider handles a deal that doesn't close.
The difference is focus. RLTY spreads across all of real estate, which means a commercial leasing commission is one of many transaction types it handles. Cash For Commish does only commercial leasing, so occupancy triggers, build-out delays, and the execution-occupancy split are the entire business rather than an edge case. A specialist tends to verify and price those deals with less friction, which is the broader argument made in the guide on why specialists beat generalists. Cash For Commish also publishes a flat, time-based fee of 3 1/3 percent per month with no add-on charges.
Here are the two providers on the points brokers compare most. RLTY figures come from its own website.
If your work is commercial leasing, a specialist that lives in occupancy triggers and build-out timing is usually the better fit, and the published flat rate makes the cost easy to plan. If you do a mix of residential and commercial and want one provider across all of it, plus the wider suite of services, RLTY's generalist model may appeal. Get each provider's total dollar cost on your specific deal, and confirm how each handles a deal that does not close.
Cash For Commish is a commercial leasing specialist with a published flat fee, which suits brokers who want a provider focused entirely on leasing deals rather than an all-real-estate generalist. Compare on total dollar cost for your deal.
Both. RLTY says it funds residential and commercial transactions, including sales and rentals (rltyco.com/capital). That breadth is the main contrast with a commercial leasing specialist.
It depends on the provider, so ask before you sign. RLTY says that if a transaction falls through you can request to move the outstanding balance into another pending deal (rltyco.com/capital).
