What is a Rental/Lease?

Click to enlarge

A Rental (also referred to as a "Lease") is an agreement where a payment is made by a tenant (lessee) for the use of a property owned by the landlord (lessor), over a fixed period of time. A Lease Agreement is signed to establish the roles and expectations of both the tenant and landlord.

Look at all documents, these two in particular, while doing the Initial Review in SkySlope. You must verify the information within each document against the information entered into SkySlope.

Lease Invoice

Lease Agreement

What to look for:

  • Representation type
  • Landlord and tenant names

  • Commission due

What to look for:

  • Landlord and tenant names
  • Property address
  • Monthly rent amount
  • Rent due date(s)

Go To:

Sale Price

Initial Review: SkySlope

Next, verify the SkySlope Sale Price🔎. Use the SkySlope file creation dates below as your guide on how to calculate the Sale Price.

July 1, 2024 and after

June 30, 2024 and prior

Sale Price:

  • Expected Commission Amount

Sale Price:

  • Full Lease Value (FLV)
    • Must have a fully executed Lease Agreement uploaded to SkySlope
    • No Lease Agreement? Sale Price is the expected commission amount.

What's the SkySlope file creation date?

Go To:

Full Lease Value (FLV)

Initial Review: SkySlope

Below are some additional considerations when working with files created July 1, 2024 or after where the Sale Price should be the FLV.

Installments

Variable Leases

Calculate FLV

Use the Rental/Lease Calculator to calculate the FLV.

Use the Rental/Lease Calculator to calculate the FLV.

Use the Rental/Lease Calculator to calculate the FLV.

Initial Installment File:

  • Sale Price: Combined FLV (see Variable Leases)
Secondary & subsequent installment files:
  • Sale Price: expected commission amount

Calculate the FLV for all terms and then combine:

  • Term 1: $2,000/mo x 12mo ($24,000)
  • Term 2: $2,500/mo x 12 mo ($30,000)
  • Term 3: $3,000/mp x 12 mo ($36,000)
  • Sale Price = $90,000

You may also use this formula:

  • Monthly rent x Rental Term (Months) = FLV
    • $2,000/mo x 12mo = $24,000
    • Sale Price in SkySlope: $24,000

Rental/lease calculator

NEXT

Go To:

Commission Tab

Initial Review: SkySlope

Confirm any referral details, commission splits, TC fees, and any Additional Commission Information entered by the agent on the file.

Remember: Expected commission must be entered as a flat amount under the Sale Commission on the Commission Tab in SkySlope.

NEXT

Go To:

Lease Listings

Initial Review: SkySlope

If you are working a Lease Listing file, you must confirm if there is a tenant's agent who will be paid through eXp. This may require confirmation from the listing agent.

If YES:

If NO:

  • Add the listing + tenant side commission in the “Sale” commission field
  • Obtain a W9 for the tenant agent's brokerage (2024 version, signed & dated)
  • eXp will pay the tenant side amount due as an outside referral added to TRX
  • Add the listing side commission only in the "Sale" commission field

If different eXp agents represent each side of the rental transaction (1 listing / 1 tenant), confirm that both agents have created their own SkySlope files. Reach out to your Lead/Manager to determine if it is appropriate to assign both files to the same TSA.

Go To:

RRBPO Fee Chart

Initial Review: TRX

Click to enlarge

Configure fees in the "Commission Breakdown" tab of TRX using the RRBPO fee chart here. Note for Rentals/Leases:

  • Company Dollar: 20% or Capped Transaction Fee
  • Transaction Review Fee/Risk Management Fee:
    • only charged if commission is $1,000 or more

Be mindful of an agent's performance and capping status. It is best practice to review the Capping Dashboard during the Initial Review.

NEXT

Go To:

Mentor Program / Personal Leases

Initial Review: TRX

Below are some additional considerations for Rental files with the Mentor Program and Personal Leases.

Personal Leases:

Mentor Program:

There is NO limit on the number of personal leases allowed per year

  • $75 company dollar
  • Transaction Review/Risk Management fees are only charged if total commission is $1,000 or more. See more HERE >

Lease/Rental file types DO count toward the Mentor Program provided that:

  • The transaction meets the minimum fee threshold of $250 toward the Mentor
  • The transaction meets the minimum fee threshold of $250 toward the Program
