For most estate agents, commission is only paid on transfer; often this is months after a deal is closed. If cash flow dries up, momentum drops. And in this market, momentum is everything.
This is exactly why more South African estate agents are turning to commission advances from London Bridge Finance. A trusted bridging finance partner that helps you unlock commission before the transfer is complete.
What Is a Commission Advance & Why Do Estate Agents Need It?
A commission advance is a short-term, fast-access financial boost that enables estate agents to receive part or all their commission immediately after a sale is secured, rather than waiting for the transfer to complete.
With London Bridge Finance, the process is simple and efficient: once the sale is confirmed, your transferring attorney is contacted, you sign the agreement digitally, and funds arrive within the same day. Repayment occurs automatically upon registration, eliminating stress, administrative burdens, and the need for chasing payments.

Why This Matters for Estate Agents
This matters for estate agents because it helps smooth out month-to-month cash flow gaps, keeping estate agents afloat with challenges such as irregular income, cash flow management, and income gaps.
It allows investment in buyer and seller leads, avoids operational slowdowns, maintains a strong and consistent pipeline, and enables growth without having to wait for transfers. Importantly, this isn’t a traditional loan, it’s a bridge between “deal closed” and “commission paid.”
