How am I paid for commissions earned?
Commissions Payment Schedule
Once a commission is received, we enter into our weekly commission run. We payout every Friday for wires received by that previous Wednesday and for checks received by the previous Friday – as checks take some time to clear. The office must have all paperwork for the file, including the Commission Disbursement Form in order for payment to be issued.
Commission Disbursement
To make it even Faster and Easier for You to Get Paid, All Commissions are sent via ACH so your funds are deposited directly into your bank account. Funds are sent on Thursday so they are available in your account on Friday morning (most major banks). You will need to provide your Bank Name, Exact name on the account, Account Number, and Routing number in order to get set up.
Are there any extra fees, like E&O or franchise fees?
No hidden fees! No Franchise Fees. No desk fees. No Annual fees. NO additional fees.

Where do I get yard signs with the Elevate Logo?
We provide our agents with the ability to download our sign templates to provide to any sign company of your choice.
Do you have physical locations?
We do maintain offices in markets that require ‘bricks and mortar’. Some of our agents lease their own office spaces but the vast majority of our agents work from home. This is how we keep our overhead costs low and focus on investing on other things such as marketing that yield a higher return on investment.
Where do I meet my clients?
You can meet your clients at the office, at their home, or even a Starbucks or a Dunkin Doughnuts near their home. It’s up to you. We don’t change a desk fee at Elevate, and you can use our beautiful office anytime you need.
Are company meetings required?
No. We hate meetings just as much as you do. We do host training and social events to build community, to share and grow together.
