Commission math

09 · Money

Real estate commission management math that doesn't end in errors.

Tiered plans, caps, fees, referrals, team splits, escrow-to-brokerage flows. Paperless Pipeline runs the math every time, generates the CDA, and shows each agent their net - without a calculator, a hand-typed worksheet, or a Friday afternoon recalculation.

  • Tiered splits with cap-based tier transitions
  • Per-deal, per-month, and per-anniversary fees
  • Referral fees, mentor splits, and team overrides
  • Plans inherit from a template; override per agent only when you need to

Commissions run on the optional Commission Module add-on, from $58/month.

Pipeline AI
Pipeline AI auto-filling a transaction from a signed contract
Built in

Pipeline AI reads the contract and fills in the transaction.

Upload a signed contract and Pipeline AI Create fills in the new transaction for you: the property address, parties, price and dates, with each value linked to the place in the document it came from. Dates the contract states as rules, such as 10 days from acceptance, are worked out with your company's business holidays counted. You review it and save.

When terms change, drop in the amendment and AI Update marks every change, old value against new. You decide what to apply.

Every account includes monthly Pipeline AI credits at no charge, and one credit reads one contract. A master admin turns Pipeline AI on and can set a monthly spending limit.

Pipeline eSign
Signing a document inside Paperless Pipeline
Add-on

Pipeline eSign sends from the transaction and files the signed copy.

Pipeline eSign, the built-in signing option, is a separate add-on. Send a request from the transaction and its details fill in.

  • Signed copies file themselves. The signed copy returns to the right transaction, ready for review.
  • No account to sign. Signers open a secure email link on any device.
  • Tracked from the file. Check status, send reminders or cancel at any time.
  • Billed by use. Set a monthly limit and pay in blocks of 10 requests, with no per-user fees and no contract.

Included

Transaction emails that keep agents, title and lenders updated.

Every message goes out from the transaction, so it stays with the file.

  • Templates. Save your regular updates as templates, with autofill tags for the deal's details.
  • Anyone on the deal. Email documents and notes to agents, co-op agents, title, escrow or the closing attorney.
  • Scheduled. Write an update now and schedule it to send later.

The free trial comes loaded with 50 ready-made email templates.

FAQ

Transaction Management FAQs

Everything brokerages ask before switching to Paperless Pipeline.

What is real estate transaction management software?

It is back-office software brokerages use to run every deal from listing to close in one place - documents, checklists, key dates, compliance and reporting. Paperless Pipeline gives each transaction a single virtual folder, so brokers, admins, transaction coordinators and agents always know what is done, what is due and what is missing.

What features should transaction management software have?

Look for checklists and key dates that apply themselves by deal type, document review with an audit trail, reporting, and integrations with your CRM and e-signature tool. Check that you can export your own records, and how the bill moves as you add agents. Paperless Pipeline covers each of these.

How do transaction checklists work in Paperless Pipeline?

Checklists apply themselves automatically based on the type of deal, the side (listing or buying), the location and the current status. You build a checklist template once and Paperless Pipeline attaches the right tasks to each new transaction, so nothing slips between listing and close.

Can due dates be calculated automatically?

Yes. Set the dates that matter once - listing date, acceptance date, option period, contingency dates, closing - and Paperless Pipeline calculates every task due date from them. You can count due dates in business days or calendar days, and agents and admins instantly see what is due today, overdue and coming up.

How does Paperless Pipeline help with compliance and audits?

It keeps a complete, time-stamped history of every document and action on a transaction. Brokers get instant in-app and email alerts when a new document is uploaded for review, and document review history gives you an auditor-friendly trail. You can let an auditor view transactions directly in Paperless Pipeline, or download them in a couple of clicks.

Can I separate different offices, teams or departments?

Yes, using Locations. Each office or team sees only its own transactions, with its own admin, agents and checklist settings, while company leadership sees everything and can pull reports across the entire company.

How many users can I add?

Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited locations and unlimited storage. Add admins, brokers, support staff and full or part-time agents at no extra cost - you pay for the number of new transactions you start each month, not per seat. See pricing.

What can Paperless Pipeline integrate with?

Paperless Pipeline connects to thousands of apps through Zapier, triggered by a simple transaction status change - move a lead stage in your CRM when a listing goes under contract, push financials to your accounting system when a deal closes, or fire custom notifications. It also works with DocuSign and Dropbox Sign for signing, Follow Up Boss, CSV transaction import, and one-way calendar sync.

Does Paperless Pipeline include real estate forms?

No. Paperless Pipeline is not a forms company. Agents fill in contracts and disclosures in the forms tool or MLS they already use, then upload, email or e-sign the finished documents into the transaction. From there, documents are reviewed like any other file.

Is my data backed up, and can I export it?

Yes. Paperless Pipeline prepares free monthly backups automatically, and you can download and keep them locally any time. Your data stays yours in an open, vendor-neutral format, so you are never locked in.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Paperless Pipeline runs in any browser and works on PCs, Macs, tablets and phones, so agents and admins can review documents, check tasks and manage transactions from anywhere.

Can I run reports on my transactions?

Yes. Powerful search and filters give you instant, custom views and reports - Closing in 30 Days, Expiring in 14 Days, Overdue Closings, by date range, by checklist status or by recent status change - so the data you need is always a click away.

How much does transaction management cost?

Pricing is based on your monthly production - the number of new transactions you start in a month - not the number of users. Plans start at $69/month with a 450+ plan for high-volume brokerages, no setup fees and no annual contract. Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. See pricing.

Which Paperless Pipeline features cost extra?

Two are optional add-ons. The Commission Module, from $58/month, adds splits, caps, fees, agent net statements and auto-generated CDAs. Pipeline eSign is billed in blocks of 10 signature requests, with no per-user fees. Everything else on this page comes with every plan, and every account includes monthly Pipeline AI credits at no charge.

How long does setup take, and is training included?

Getting started is free and guided. Setup includes free account setup, free admin training and free transaction import, so your locations, users, statuses, labels and checklist workflows are ready before you go live.

How is Paperless Pipeline different from a shared drive like Dropbox or Google Drive?

A shared drive stores files; it does not run deals. Paperless Pipeline adds the things a brokerage actually needs - automatic checklists, calculated due dates, a compliance review trail, reporting and commissions - purpose-built for real estate transactions. See how Paperless Pipeline compares.

Everything on this page comes with every plan except the optional Commission Module, from $58/month, and Pipeline eSign, a separate add-on billed in blocks of 10 requests. Plans start at $69/month, priced on the new transactions you start each month, not per user. Unlimited users, offices and storage. No setup fees, no contracts.
