Managing cash flow is part of the job when you’re commission-based. You can be having an amazing month on paper… and still be waiting on checks to actually hit your account.

That’s why commission advances exist: they help agents cover business expenses, marketing, staging, and life while deals make their way to the closing table.

Below is a 2026 update of commission advance companies that show up strongly in Trustpilot reviews…plus the option that’s improving on the traditional model, so you can choose what fits your business best.

Ready for a more flexible way to access your earned commissions?
Get started with Tongo.

How to choose the right option for you

If you’re comparing providers, here are the questions that matter most:

  • Do you want a one-time advance… or a repeatable strategy for uneven income?
  • How quickly can you access funds, and how clear are the fees?
  • Do you need broker involvement, or can you be approved independently?
  • What happens if timing changes (because… real estate)?

The best choice is the one that supports your business without adding stress.

Closing

Cash flow confidence changes everything: how you market, how you plan, and how you show up with clients. The goal isn’t to “get by” between closings, it’s to run your business like the pro you are.

If you want the modern, flexible way to access earned commissions (without unnecessary friction), Tongo was built for that. Traditional commission advances can work, but agents are increasingly looking for something more flexible, more modern, and easier to use consistently. Tongo improves on the traditional model by working like a line of credit, only better.

In other words: you’re not just “borrowing against a commission.” You’re building a smarter cash-flow system that matches how real estate income actually works.

Get started with Tongo and build a cash-flow plan that supports your goals this year.
