You have been eating this cost for years
Ever added up what you spend to sell someone else’s house?
The photographer.
The signage.
The Saturday you spent staging a place that never made it to closing…
I ran my own numbers last month and nearly threw my laptop.
Two new SkySlope clauses fix it.
💸 Clause #1: Marketing Cost Reimbursement
Your actual third party spend on the listing, reimbursed.
Photography. Video. Signage. Paid ads.
Backed by invoices. Capped at whatever amount YOU set at intake.
🦢 Clause #2: Services Fee
A flat amount that pays you for the marketing work itself.
Earned the moment the Seller signs.
Payable at closing… or if the listing expires… or if it terminates.
So if the listing dies before it closes? You still get paid for the work you did 🤢
✍️ How to run them
Fill in the dollar amounts at intake. Every single time.
A blank line is a fee you didn’t charge.
Have the Seller sign the clause line.
Save the executed contract and every invoice to the SkySlope file.
One note on the numbers: a $100 processing fee comes out of the Services Fee. Set your amount knowing that.
🚫 One tiny favor
Please don’t write your own language under the Blank Addendum or Additional Terms section.
Ever.
Drafting contract wording is the unauthorized practice of law.
And the person on the hook is YOU. Personally.
The SkySlope clause library exists so you never have to.
Need language that isn’t in there? Message me. I’ll get it to counsel for review and added to the library.
Now go sell houses 🏡
