Co-Represented Deals
Two of your agents on one side of a deal: how each enters their share, how the office links the two, what the title company receives, and how credit is counted.
Updated September 7, 2026
Where to Find It: on the deal form, under Funds Disbursement, the question "Are you co-representing this client with another agent?" with your brokerage's name in it. The office links the two sides and sends one CDA from the transaction's edit page in Transaction Manager. How credit is counted is set under Settings and Features, Transactions, Co-representation.
Who it is for: two agents at the same brokerage who share one side of a sale or lease. Each agent enters their own side. The office links the two and sends one document. The brokerage decides how the credit is counted. An agent from another brokerage is a cooperating agent, not a co-rep partner.
What Co-Rep Means
One property, one side, two of your agents. Each of you enters your own transaction with the full sales price, or the full lease amount on a lease, and only your share of the compensation. Once the office links the two, BrokerChamp treats them as one deal: the property counts once, one CDA goes to the title company, and each agent's credit is their share.
Entering Your Side
Step 1: Enter the deal the way you always do (see
Starting a New Transaction). Put in the full sales price and only your share of the compensation. On a 50/50 split of a 3 percent commission, your compensation is 1.5 percent of the price.
Step 2: Under Funds Disbursement, answer Yes to the co-representing question and pick your partner from the list under "Who are you co-representing with?". The list holds the agents at your brokerage.
Step 3: Submit as normal. Your partner gets an email saying you named them, and a Co-rep invitations card on their dashboard with a Start my side button. That button opens a new deal with the property already filled in from your entry.
Note: When your partner enters their side, the form asks them whether this is their side of the deal you entered, with Yes, link them and Not this one. One click on Yes links the two. If they pick Not this one, or enter their side without the button, the office links the two from Transaction Manager.
Tip: Your deal page tells you where things stand. While your partner has not entered their side the badge reads Co-rep · waiting on their name. Once linked it reads Co-rep with their name, and under the figures: Your share: 50% · counts as 0.5 units. Everything on your page is your side only.
Linking the Two Sides and Sending One CDA
Step 1: Open either transaction in
Transaction Manager. A panel under the address shows where things stand:
linked,
waiting on the partner, or
marked co-rep with no partner picked.
Step 2: If the two are not linked yet, click Link partner transaction. The picker lists the partner's open deals with the best match first and a Same zip hint beside it. Nothing is chosen for you. Pick the right one and click Link these two.
Step 3: Read the panel again. It now names the partner, shows each side's share of the compensation and its unit credit, and links to the other side. Unlink undoes a wrong pairing. Nothing about the money changes either way.
Step 4: Click
Email combined CDA, or
Email combined invoice on a lease. One document goes to the title company, both transactions move to
Pending / Sent, and both agents get a copy. It can be sent from either side. The rest of the send is the same as any CDA: see
Generating a CDA.
Warning: Address spelling is why a match can be missed. "Kay Dr" and "Kay Drive" are one house to you and two addresses to a search, so the partner's deal may not be at the top of the list, or may not be listed at all. Switch on Show all of the partner's open deals and pick it from the full list.
How Credit Is Counted
Linking never touches money. It changes two numbers on each transaction: the agent's share of the deal, and the units it counts for. How the share is worked out is a brokerage-wide choice under Settings and Features, Transactions, Co-representation (see Transaction Settings). It applies to sales and leases alike.
- Split by compensation share (recommended): the share follows the money. A 60/40 compensation split gives 0.6 and 0.4 of a unit, and each agent's volume is the same share of the price. The property counts once.
- Split evenly: half a unit and half the volume each, whatever the compensation split. The property counts once.
- Full credit to each agent: a full unit and the full price for each. Company totals count the property once per agent.
Note: Units can be fractions. The deal list shows 0.5 in the Units column, the deal page says
counts as 0.5 units, and
Top Producers, the agent and company reports and the dashboard leaderboard add the fractions up. Changing the setting recounts every linked co-rep deal and refreshes the leaderboard. Deals that are not linked are never touched.
What the Title Company Receives
One CDA. Under the property address a CO-REPRESENTED BY line names both agents by their legal names with their license numbers. The compensation total is the combined figure for both sides, and each agent's payout lines sit under their own name with their share, so the title company cuts the right checks from one document. The email says the closing is co-represented and that this single CDA covers both agents. On a lease it is one invoice to the leasing company, laid out the same way.
How Comp Plan Tiers Count It
The same share. On a 50/50 co-rep deal each agent gets half a deal and half the price toward the conditions on their compensation plan, and the plan explanation shows the fraction, for example 2.5 completed transactions. Nothing else about tiers changes: a referral still counts for nothing, and a deal where one agent represents both sides still counts as one transaction.
What Does Not Change
- Money. Each transaction pays exactly what it always did. GCI, agent pay, company pay and the 1099 are per agent.
- Documents and checklists. Each transaction keeps its own document list and its own uploads.
- Status. Each side has its own status and closes on its own. The combined CDA is the one thing that moves both to Pending / Sent together.
- Client reviews. The client gets one invitation per closing. The partner's is held with the reason "Your co-rep partner's transaction already invited this client, so we did not ask twice."
Questions We Get
Can the office enter both sides?
Yes. Add each transaction from Transaction Manager under the right agent, mark it co-rep and pick the partner on each, then link them from either one. Nobody has to wait for an agent to confirm.
What about an uneven split?
Enter each side's real compensation and leave the setting on Split by compensation share: a 70/30 deal gives 0.7 and 0.3 of a unit.
Does it work on leases?
Yes. The same flow with the full lease amount and your share, and the combined document is the invoice to the leasing company.
My partner has not entered their side.
Your deal reads Co-rep · waiting on their name. The office sees it under the Co-rep: Waiting on partner filter in Transaction Manager and as a Command Center alert. Until it is linked, your side counts as a full deal on its own.
I named the wrong partner, or the wrong pair got linked.
Tell the office. They can change the partner until the two are linked, and Unlink then link again after that. Nothing about the money changes in between.
