Why
I’ve witnessed first-hand the trials and tribulations of running a business, obtaining finance and juggling all the associated operational aspects too. As CEO of Commission Flow, I’m lucky enough to continue indulging in my love for real estate, whilst helping others build successful and financially sustainable businesses.
Here are some of the reasons why I created Commission Flow. Finance Designed by Real Estate Agents for Real Estate Agents.
I knew I could make a difference
Making a difference is my ‘why’. Making a difference to real estate agents is what drives me, every single day. I’ve been in your shoes and sometimes they feel a little tight. It means a great deal to have someone who understands your industry – someone to help you find solutions to common problems and limitations.
I wanted to offer a refreshing alternative to traditional finance
It can be tedious dealing with the Bank Manager on rigid overdraft facilities, getting penalised for small oversights and sifting through lengthy application processes. Not only is this time consuming, it’s also a drain on your agency.
I wanted to introduce a flexible and friendly commission advance service that’s there to call on, as real estate agents need it. No contracts, no obligations, no fuss.
As a real estate agent, I was underwhelmed
When I was in your shoes, I used an advance commission arrangement to help me manage the ups and downs of cash flow. What I found, was poor service, inflexible pricing and a less than average customer ethos. I knew there had to be a better, more boutique approach to finance.
Same-day commission is liquid gold
Cash flow is a critical component to agency survival and even the most thriving agencies can struggle with the lengthy wait for commission. By offering same-day commission payments, I believe Commission Flow is offering invaluable support – and possibly bridging the gap between success and failure.
I wanted to create a genuine partnership
If you’ve already worked with us on an advance commission arrangement, you will have noticed that we don’t act like your typical lender. We like to think of ourselves as partners to your business and there to help out where we can. That’s why you’ll get no heavy sell or intrusive questioning. We’re here as your extended team, to offer you support and advice.
