About Commissions

What Are Commissions?

Unclaimed commissions are earned fees that were never paid to salespeople, agents, or brokers. This happens when real estate agents move firms before closing commissions arrive, or when insurance agents leave companies with pending policy commissions.

These payments go unclaimed when people change careers, move without forwarding addresses, or forget about delayed commission payments. Former real estate agents, insurance salespeople, and business brokers in their 40s-60s most commonly have unclaimed commissions.

The average unclaimed commission in California is $85.56, though amounts range from small referral fees to major deal payouts. You'll need photo ID and proof of your sales license or employment with the paying company to claim these funds.
