Co-broking with Vorneo

The terms are written out in the open so nobody has to ask for them one message at a time. The numbers are the same for every agent.

How it works

  1. Tell us before, not after

    Send us the listing or the buyer on WhatsApp. Registering a buyer before they view is the single step that prevents the most commission disputes.

  2. The split goes in writing

    50-50 of the seller's commission, on paper before the property is marketed jointly. If something needs changing, it's discussed here, not once a buyer shows up.

  3. Work it together

    You hold the side you brought, we hold ours. Both attend the viewings and the negotiation, or keep each other posted if one can't make it.

  4. The commission lands

    Once the deed is signed and the seller's commission reaches us, your share goes out within three working days, with the transfer receipt.

What to have ready

  • Your name and where you market: Instagram, Facebook, or a WhatsApp number.
  • The listing you're holding, or the buyer's details if you're bringing the buyer.
  • Confirmation that you have the owner's permission directly, not a listing passed to you by someone else.
  • The certificate status and the price the owner has already agreed to, so it doesn't shift midway.

Common questions

How is the commission split?

The seller's total commission is split evenly, 50-50, between the side that brought the listing and the side that brought the buyer. If you bring both, the commission is entirely yours and we only help on the marketing side under a separate arrangement. The split is written down before the property is marketed jointly, not negotiated once a buyer appears.

When do I get paid?

Once the deed of sale is signed and the seller's commission has reached us. Your share goes out within three working days of that money landing, with the transfer receipt. If the seller pays in instalments, your share follows the same proportion and we tell you the schedule upfront.

Is the owner I bring safe from being bypassed?

We don't contact your owner outside what the live transaction requires, and their number doesn't go into our prospect list for anything else. If you brought the listing, you stay the one talking to the owner unless we agree otherwise. This is written explicitly into the agreement, not just promised over chat.

I have a buyer for one of your listings. What now?

Tell us before you bring them to a viewing, so the buyer is registered under your name from the start. That's what prevents a commission dispute if the same buyer also contacts us directly. A WhatsApp message is enough, no form needed.

I have a listing. How do I bring it in?

Send the details to our WhatsApp: location, size, price, certificate status, photos, and confirmation that you actually have the owner's permission. We check it's complete, put the split in writing, then the property goes live on our channels with you recorded as the side that brought it.

Who talks to the owner and who talks to the buyer?

The listing side holds the relationship with the owner, the buyer side holds the relationship with the buyer. At viewings and negotiations both sides either attend or keep each other posted, so nothing gets lost in between and nobody feels stepped over.

Do I have to be a licensed or registered agent?

Not required. We work with licensed agents and independent marketers alike, as long as you clearly have the owner's permission and are willing to be bound by a written agreement. What we turn down is a listing that has already been passed down through several hands without the owner knowing, because that always ends in a commission fight.

Can I re-post a listing that's live on Vorneo's channels?

Yes, as long as you tell us first and don't change the price. Marking it up above the agreed figure to pocket the difference is the one thing that ends the working relationship, because it costs the owner and the buyer at the same time. Our photos and copy are yours to use as they are.

Want to work one together?

Send us the listing or the buyer you're holding on WhatsApp, along with your name and channel. We'll send the split agreement in writing before anything starts.
