As a Single Agent, your earnings are determined by your production within each three-month quarter. The model is divided into two simple phases: before you hit your cap and after you hit your cap.
Phase 1: Before You Cap (Pre-Cap)
Commission Split (Self-Generated Leads): You start with a 70/30 split. You keep 70% of the Gross Commission Income (GCI), and 30% goes to Relive.
Quarterly Cap (Self-Generated Leads): You remain on a 70/30 split until you’ve submitted $15,000 in invoices from self-generated deals. This means you contribute 30% ($4,500) to Relive each quarter. Once your self-generated Gross Commission Income (GCI) on submitted invoices reaches $15,000, you’ve hit your cap and become an Elite Agent, earning 100% commission for the rest of that quarter.
How Cap Progress Is Calculated: The $15,000 GCI threshold is based on invoices submitted, not collected. You progress toward your cap as soon as your deals are submitted, maximizing your motivation and momentum.
Commission Split (Relive Leads): For leads provided directly by Relive, the split before the cap is 50/50 (then 60/40 after cap). These deals do not count toward your quarterly cap.
Phase 2: After You Cap (Post-Cap)
Once you’ve submitted $15,000 in invoices from self-generated deals, you are capped and become an Elite Agent for the remainder of that quarter.
Commission Split (Self-Generated Leads): You now earn 100% of the Gross Commission Income (GCI).
Transaction Fee: After you cap, instead of a split, you’ll pay a small, flat transaction fee:
$100 for apartment locating and home lease deals.
$350 for residential sales deals ($300 transaction fee + $50 E&O insurance).
Cap Transition Note: For deals that are submitted and cause a cap transition, the $100 transaction fee will be charged proportionally based on the portion of the commission that falls post-cap. For example, if an agent is at $14,000 GCI and submits a $3,000 deal, $1,000 would be paid under the 70/30 split, and the remaining $2,000 (two-thirds of the deal) would be charged two-thirds of the $100 transaction fee ($66.67).
Adjustments for Canceled Invoices: If any submitted invoice is later canceled or becomes uncollectable, Relive reserves the right to make adjustments to ensure the company still receives the equivalent of its 30% split on your self-generated GCI up to the $15,000 cap threshold, protecting the integrity of the compensation model. If the cancellation causes your total self-generated Gross Commission Income (GCI) to fall below the $15,000 cap threshold, your Elite Agent status will also be revoked for the remainder of that quarter until your submitted GCI once again reaches $15,000.
Examples of canceled or uncollectable invoices include situations where a client doesn’t list the agent’s name in the application, the agent forgets to send the guest card, the client moves out early, or the property denies payment. See the FAQ for full examples.
Commission Split (Relive Leads): Your split for Relive leads increases to 60/40 — 60% to you, 40% to Relive.
FAQs
Q: What counts toward the $15,000 cap?
Only self-generated Gross Commission Income (GCI) counts toward the cap. Relive leads do not count toward the cap at any time.
Q: Is cap progress based on invoices submitted or collected?
You advance toward your cap the moment an invoice is submitted, so you don’t have to wait for collection to see your progress.
Q: When exactly am I considered “capped”?
You’re capped the moment your submitted self-generated GCI totals $15,000 (which equals $4,500 contributed to Relive at a 70/30 split). From that point through the remainder of the quarter, you’re an Elite Agent, earning 100% commission on your self-generated deals.
Q: If one self-generated deal pushes me from below to above $15,000 GCI, how is that single deal paid?
Only the portion up to the $15,000 threshold is paid at 70/30, and the remaining portion of that same deal is paid at 100% (post-cap). For the post-cap portion, the $100 transaction fee is applied proportionally based on the percentage of the commission that falls after the cap.
Q: If one self-generated deal pushes me from below to above $15,000 GCI, how is that single deal paid?
Only the portion up to the $15,000 threshold is paid at 70/30, and the remaining portion of that same deal is paid at 100% (post-cap). For the post-cap portion, the $100 transaction fee is applied proportionally based on the percentage of the commission that falls after the cap.
Example:
You’re at $14,000 GCI submitted, and your next deal is $3,000 GCI.
$1,000 (to reach $15,000) → paid 70/30
$2,000 (remainder) → paid 100%, with two-thirds of the $100 transaction fee ($66.67) applied
This ensures a smooth transition between Pre-Cap and Post-Cap earnings while maintaining fairness and accuracy in how fees are applied.
Q: How are Relive leads splits pre-cap and post-cap?
Pre-Cap: 50/50
Post-Cap: 60/40 (60% to you, 40% to Relive)
Note: Relive leads don’t contribute toward your cap.
Q: Do the post-cap transaction fees apply to Relive leads?
No. The flat transaction fees apply only to post-cap self-generated deals. Relive leads stay on the 60/40 split after you cap.
Q: Does the cap reset?
Yes. The model operates by quarter. Your commission split and Elite status reset at the start of each new quarter.
Q: What if I submit a deal on the last day of the quarter?
Cap credit applies in the quarter of submission. If that submission caps you on the last day of the quarter, you’re Elite for the remainder of that day only, and the cap resets with the new quarter.
Q: Do collection timelines affect my cap or payout timing?
No. Collection timelines do not affect cap progress (it’s based on submission).
Q: What are examples of situations where an invoice might be canceled and Relive makes an adjustment?
Here are some common situations where an invoice could be canceled or become uncollectable, leading Relive to make a financial or status adjustment under the policy:
The client did not list the agent’s name during the leasing or application process.
The client moved out after one month, and the property decided not to pay the commission.
The property denied payment because the agent failed to send a guest card.
The property denied payment due to an invalid or expired partnership with Relive.
The property went bankrupt or otherwise refused payment.
In all such cases, Relive reserves the right to make adjustments to ensure the company receives its 30% share, and if the cancellation causes your total submitted self-generated GCI to fall below $15,000, Elite status may be revoked until your GCI once again reaches the threshold
Q: What happens if a $1,000 invoice under Pre-Cap terms is canceled within a quarter, given that I've already reached a self-generated GCI of $25,000 for the quarter ($15,000 on Pre-Cap terms and $10,000 on Post-Cap terms)?
Relive will make a deduction adjustment of $200, calculated as $300 (30% of the $1,000 invoice) minus the $100 transaction fee already paid by you. This ensures Relive still receives its full 30% share on the $15,000 GCI earned under Pre-Cap terms for that quarter.
