How commission payments work

Levr does not take a platform share of lender-paid broker commissions. This page explains exactly how the money moves, when it arrives, and what happens in the rare cases where a lender claws a payment back. No legal jargon. The governing version lives in Section 14 of our Terms of Service, and if this page and the Terms ever disagree, the Terms win.

100%
of any referral fee Levr receives is passed through to you, subject to the governing Terms.

Why we can afford to be this simple

Lenders pay Levr for their side of the platform. Levr does not fund the core broker plan by taking a platform share of broker commissions. The core broker plan costs $0, with no subscription or seat fee, and Levr takes no platform commission split. When a lender routes a referral fee through Levr, Section 14 of the Terms requires Levr to pass through 100%, subject to its terms. See pricing for who pays what.

The two ways commission reaches you

Route one: direct lender payment

1
Your deal funds
2
The lender calculates commission at your agreed rate
3
The lender normally pays the broker directly under its terms. Where available, Levr can record the payment status.
Subject to the applicable agreement and any holdback or clawback terms.

Route two: passthrough via Levr

1
Your deal funds
2
The lender pays the referral fee to Levr
3
Levr passes through 100% of the referral fee it receives, subject to Section 14 of the Terms.
Subject to the applicable agreement and any holdback or clawback terms.

Your rate itself is between you and each lender. Lenders set their commission structures independently, and you can bring your own lenders to the platform at rates you have negotiated privately. Levr does not set rates, cap them, or take a position in the middle.

When the money arrives

Deal funds
Lender clawback window (varies by lender, shown on each lender's profile in the platform)
Commission released to you

Why the wait? Some lender agreements allow a referral-fee clawback when specified conditions occur during a defined window. A holdback can prevent a passthrough payment from being released before that window closes.

Timing depends on the lender, and we would rather tell you that plainly than promise a date we do not control. Each lender pays on their own cycle, and where a lender has a clawback window, commissions that pass through Levr are held for that window and released when it closes. Where a lender provides a clawback window in Levr, review those details before submitting. The lender’s agreement controls.

See it on your own deal: the free Commission Forecaster helps estimate payout structure and timing from the assumptions you enter.

If a clawback happens after you have been paid

A clawback can happen after payment if the lender exercises its rights within the applicable clawback window. When the lender exercises a clawback on money already in your account, you have thirty days to return the amount after we notify you in writing. Alternatively, Levr may offset the clawed-back amount against future commissions, as described in Section 14.4 of the Terms.

What being an active client means for payouts

To receive commission payments, your Levr account needs to be active. This is not a gotcha. It is how we stay compliant with anti-money-laundering rules that apply to anyone moving money: we have to know who we are paying and maintain a real, current relationship with them.

If you close your account, you still get paid for funded deals. Commissions earned on deals that funded while your account was active are still paid to you after cancellation, subject to the same clawback holdbacks as everyone else. And if you come back, your eligibility resumes.

What we do not control

Commission amounts, rates, and payment timing are set by each lender's independent policies. Levr’s passthrough obligation is defined in Section 14. Commission reporting is available as described in Section 14.7. What we cannot do is guarantee a specific amount, rate, or date on a lender's behalf. Any platform that promises otherwise is promising something it does not control.

Commission records

Levr can keep available deal and commission status connected from submission through funding, holdback, and payment. Levr can keep deal and commission activity connected so your team has one place to review the available records and ask questions.

Common questions

Does Levr take a cut of my commission?

No. Levr does not take a platform commission split. Lenders normally pay brokers directly. If a referral fee passes through Levr, Levr passes through 100%, subject to the governing terms.

Who sets my commission rate?

Each lender sets their own commission structure, or you negotiate rates directly, including with lenders you bring to the platform yourself. Levr does not set, cap, or take a share of rates.

When do I get paid?

After the deal funds and after any clawback window the lender requires. Payment timing and any clawback window depend on the lender’s agreement. Review the lender details available in Levr before submitting.

What is a clawback window?

A period after funding, set by the lender, during which they can reclaim the referral fee if the borrower defaults or breaches the agreement. Commissions held for a window are released to you when it closes.

What happens if I close my account?

Commissions on deals that funded while your account was active are still paid to you, subject to the normal holdback periods. You do not forfeit earned money by leaving.

How is the $0 core broker plan funded?

Lenders pay Levr for their side of the platform. That supports the core broker plan without a platform share of broker commissions. Details are on the pricing page.

A note from me: if a payment ever looks wrong, do not sit on it. Email me directly at [email protected] and we will trace it together. Your commission is the whole reason this platform exists.
