Purpose

The inactivity fee was instituted to ensure the HouseSigma roster would be comprised of active producing members.  Rebating the “inactivity fee” means our member representatives are producing and is something we do gladly.

In an effort to simplify the reconciliation process and to make it more timely we are implementing the following changes retroactive to January 1st, 2020 

Original

There are no monthly fees and desk fees. Agents who do not complete any deal in a given month will be charged a $200 inactivity fee. Each deal waives 1 month of inactivity fee. If a salesperson does 2 deals 1 month and 0 deals the second month, they will not be charged $200 in the second month. If the salesperson does 1 deal the first month, there will be no fees but 0 deals in month 2, then they will pay $200 in the 2nd month. Credit card will be required to setup auto payment. Refund will be processed every 6 months.

Updated 2021

A monthly inactivity fee of $200 is collected each month with a reconciliation every six months.  For each HouseSigma Client transaction, that being  lease, purchase or listing, within the six month period the Contractor will be credited back on account 1 month’s fee to a maximum of 6.  The credit on account will be carried into the next 6 month period.  As long as there is a credit on account after month 6 no new charge will occur.   Credit Card or Auto Debit will be required to set up auto payment.   Termination of the contract shall trigger an immediate reconciliation.

Clarity June 2020

THE GOAL IS THAT ONCE A PRODUCING REP PASSES THE FIRST RECONCILIATION THEY HAVE "CREDITS" AN NO FURTHER PAYMENTS ARE TAKEN.  To achieve this the rep must have written 6 transactions (sale or lease) in 6 mo.   Credits are calculated on a fee to credit formula. The credits issued will not exceed the number of monthly fees paid.  Credits are calculated using written transactions.

Updated October 2022

Provided a 10 day notice period is observed,  termination of the contract shall trigger an immediate reconciliation and refund, if any.  Should the contractor not provide 10 days notice there will be no reconciliation of monthly fees and no rebate/refund will be issued.   The Company reserves the right to offset agent commission to agent expense owing.

This policy may be changed from time to time by HouseSigma Inc.

Notice of any changes to policies will be delivered to the Contractor in writing to the Company Email address.

Company Leads: If a HouseSigma Client Referral has previously submitted a request on our platform before being introduced to a Contractor, the transaction will be treated as a Company Lead. The commission will be split 50% to the Contractor and 50% to the Company, or according to the current tier level.

• Management reserves the right to allow exceptions if the Contractor can provide evidence of an existing relationship with the lead prior to the submission of a request on our platform.

FAQ:

Q: What if a lead comes through my open house and they are already using HouseSigma?

If, however, the user has never submitted a request prior to the open house, the agent can create an FUB profile for the lead and the lead will be considered a personal lead

Q: What if a Housesigma client refers their family member or friend to me?

A: the same logic applies, depending on whether they have submitted a request before the referral or not Housesigma will determine based on the profile history on FUB

Q: what if a user has submitted the request but I happen to know that person before their request to reach a Housesigma agent?

A: you can provide proof of your existing relationship with the lead and management can at their own discretion change the lead source.
