Commission Disbursement Authorization Form
Confirm every commission split, referral fee, and deduction before the disbursement goes out. Request the transaction details, each person's share, and the broker's sign-off together, in one form.
Nobody gets paid until the disbursement authorization reaches the title company, and it's usually the last thing anyone thinks about. Closing dates move, the file sits with whoever was going to check the numbers, and an agent who closed on Friday is still waiting the following week. Typeform's commission disbursement authorization form collects the transaction, the splits, and every deduction in one request, so the broker can authorize it the day the file is ready.
With this form, the agent submits the transaction details, the sale price, the gross commission, and every party with a claim on it. Conditional logic adjusts the fields to the deal: a referral brings up the referring party, their percentage, and where their check goes; an in-house transaction skips straight to the agent's split and the brokerage deductions.
The broker reviews one request with the full math on it: gross commission, splits, referral, franchise and transaction fees, and what the agent nets. All the correct details get forward to the title company with the right numbers early, so any necessary correction happens before the money moves, rather than after the check's cleared.
A commission disbursement authorization form is an online form agents submit so a broker can authorize how a commission is paid out at closing. It collects the transaction and closing details, the gross commission, each party's split, referral fees, brokerage deductions, and the broker's approval. Brokerages use commission disbursement authorization forms to get the math right before the instruction reaches the title company.
Without one, numbers arrive by email in whatever shape the agent sent them, and the broker has to reconstruct the math before approving anything. That reconstruction is often where errors slip through: a missed referral fee, an outdated split, or a figure nobody double-checked. Catch the mistake too late and you're renegotiating after the fact. If you miss it entirely, the title company disburses on your instruction, anyways. Recovering a share from a check that's already cleared is far harder than fixing a number before it goes out.
Capture what the disbursement depends on:
- Property, closing date, and title company
- Gross commission and sale price
- Agent splits and who's owed what
- Referral fees and co-broke shares
- Brokerage deductions and net to agent
No. The commission disbursement authorization form gathers the figures and records the broker's approval, but title companies generally want the authorization from the brokerage directly, often signed and on letterhead. Use this form to get the math right and the approval on record, then issue the CDA the way your title company and state require.
As soon as the closing date is set, not the day before it. The title company needs the authorization in hand to disburse at closing, and a document that arrives that morning competes with everything else on a closer's desk. Submitting early also leaves room to catch a split that's changed since the listing agreement.
