How does Exit calculate the Transaction Fee for each installment of a commission paid in installments?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when commissions are paid in installments, either before or after the closing date of a transaction, the transaction fees are calculated in the same manner as regular transactions. Each installment of the commission is entered separately into Exit's computer reporting system. The transaction fee is then calculated using the same formula applied to all transactions.

This means that for each commission installment received, Exit will assess a transaction fee based on the gross commission amount of that specific installment. This approach ensures that transaction fees are consistently applied across all commission payments, regardless of whether they are paid in a lump sum or in multiple installments.

For a prospective Exit franchisee, this implies that they need to account for transaction fees for each commission installment. The fees range from $50 to $400, depending on the commission bracket. This consistent application of transaction fees, even on partial commission payments, helps Exit maintain a predictable revenue stream and ensures that franchisees contribute to the network's operational costs with each transaction, no matter how the commission is paid out.
