Why Choose Commission Express?
Commission Express® has been in business since 1992. You can rest assured that we know what we're doing in the real estate sales commission advance business, dealing exclusively with professionally licensed Realtors®. Commission Express® does and can-do business with every major Real Estate brand in the country.
What could be more in demand than cash flow? We help Realtors® manage their cash flow needs by offering to purchase their earned but unsettled sales commissions at a discount. It´s a recognized fact that Realtors struggle with cash flow. Unfortunately, they do not get paid until settlement occurs, often 30, 60 or 90 days following the sale. Therefore, we have consistent demand which translates into an 80% customer repeat business.
Exclusivity is also important. It's good to know that Commission Express® is the only franchised real estate sales commission advance company in the country, with brand recognition in most major metropolitan areas. We also offer Protected or Open Market Territories to give flexibility into entering the Commission Express® business.

History
Commission Express® was founded in the Washington, DC metropolitan area in 1992 by two highly experienced real estate brokers who, after managing offices and owning their own companies, recognized that agents and brokers needed a reliable solution to their cash flow problems.
As Independent Contractors operating as small independent businesses, the agents and brokers had marketable accounts receivable from earned but unsettled sales commissions. The founders conceived an idea to purchase the accounts receivable at a discount, a process known as factoring.
By 1996, the service had become so popular that the founders began offering franchises of the Commission Express® business model to entrepreneurs nationwide. Today, with offices in most major metropolitan areas, Commission Express® is the most popular provider of cash flow for real estate agents and brokers throughout the country.
Commission Express® has advanced thousands of commissions totaling over 900 million dollars and is the only franchised real estate commission advance company in the country. We know the business; we know what we’re doing – and we’re here to make the commission advance process work to your advantage.
