What counts as a personal deal.

✓ QUALIFIES

A real estate transaction in which one or more of the following holds a direct ownership interest in the property:

  • 01The Agent
  • 02The Agent's spouse or domestic partner
  • 03A business entity (LLC, partnership, corporation) controlled by the Agent or Agent's spouse
  • 04A revocable trust controlled by the Agent or Agent's spouse

Ownership must be documented and verifiable. Grey Square may request documentation before approving.

✗ DOES NOT QUALIFY

Representing a family member, friend, or other third party as their real estate agent does NOT qualify as a personal deal — even with a familial or personal relationship.

The personal deal designation applies only when you hold a direct ownership or beneficial interest in the property itself.

ALSO EXCLUDED
  • Company Lead transactions (standard 20% lead fee applies)
  • Transactions submitted without prior authorization
  • Personal deals beyond the 3-per-year allowance
