More Ways to Earn as a Self-Employed Estate Agent
Three ways to build income with iad.
Earn from your own property sales. Grow through mentoring as you support other agents. Benefit from referral opportunities.
For experienced agents and career changers alike, this is a model where your revenue potential is closely connected to the business you build.
1. Earn from Your Own Property Sales
Your first income opportunity comes from the property sales you generate and complete.
With iad, agents start on a 69% commission split before tax, with the opportunity to earn up to 87.8% once personal turnover passes £80,000.
This means the more consistent you are at building your pipeline, winning instructions, supporting clients and completing sales, the more opportunity you have to grow your income through your own results.
2. Earn by Mentoring and Supporting Other Agents
As your iad business grows, you can also build income by helping other agents grow theirs.
Through iad’s mentoring model, you can support others in your business organisation. You are rewarded as your team develop their skills, build confidence and learn how to operate as self-employed estate agents.
When your agents complete transactions, you can earn a percentage of the fees, excluding VAT, across up to five levels.
It is a way of rewarding collaboration, leadership and shared growth across the iad network. Not just your own individual sales activity.
3. Earn from Referral Opportunities
Not every property opportunity will be right for you to handle directly.
With iad, if you know a buyer or seller who would be better supported by another iad agent, you can refer that opportunity through the network.
If the transaction completes, you can earn 12% of the fee, excluding VAT.
This helps clients get the right support, keeps opportunities within the iad network and rewards agents for sharing business rather than letting it disappear.
