Revenue model

1. Brokerage Commission – Rental: Commission charged upon execution of a rental or lease agreement. The standard rate is 3.6 net monthly rents. Additional charges apply for option rights, sublease rights, stepped rents, and any goodwill payments. The commission is earned and due upon signing of the lease contract.
2. Brokerage Commission – Purchase/Sale: Commission charged on the notarised total purchase price including all ancillary costs for the purchase or sale of a property, calculated at 4% of the transaction value. For share deals, the calculation basis is the market value of the property rather than the notarised price. An additional 1% applies for rights of first refusal or pre-emption.
3. Consulting and Advisory Services: Strategic advisory services provided to property owners and tenants, covering market analysis, location evaluation, and holistic representation of client interests in the commercial property market.
