This guide provides essential tips for managing your SkySlope files and ensuring a smooth Commission Disbursement Authorization (CDA) approval process. By following these best practices, you can avoid delays and ensure timely access to your commissions.
CDA Quick Tips
SkySlope File: Every transaction must have a SkySlope file, this includes outbound referrals, leases and new construction transactions.
Approval: Your file will be reviewed for CDA approval 10 days before the scheduled closing date.
A Compliant File: If your file is compliant/complete at the time of review, your CDA will instruct escrow to pay you directly at the time of closing.
[Compliant File: All Required documents in your checklist have been approved]
A Non-Compliant FIle: If your file is not compliant/complete at the time of review, your CDA will instruct escrow to send the gross commission to Radius. Radius will then disburse your commissions to you directly once your transaction file is complete. [Non-Compliant File: Required documents in your checklist are Missing/Incomplete]
Avoid CDA Delays & Revisions: Ensuring your Skyslope file is submitted promptly upon acceptance, all necessary documents are complete and uploaded to your checklist, all commission-related notes are included, and your purchase price and close of escrow date are accurate, along with signing your DocuSign envelope in a timely manner, will prevent any delays with your CDA.
