At Sofara, we believe in transparency — no hidden fees, no fine print, no surprises. Here is exactly how our commission model works, from the moment you share your link to the moment your commission is paid.
The Commission Model: Up to 3% of the Property Price
You earn a commission of 1% to 3% of the property price on every successful transaction referred through your unique Sofara link — up to 3%, depending on the property and the developer.
This is a one-time commission paid per transaction, calculated on the property price rather than on a share of an agency fee. If you want to understand how this compares with market practice, read our guide on how referral fees work in Dubai.
What Determines Your Commission
| Factor | How it affects your commission |
|---|---|
| Property price | The commission is a percentage of the sale price, so it follows the value of the property |
| Developer and project | The applicable rate (between 1% and 3%) depends on the developer and the project |
| SPA signature | The commission is paid within 7 days once the client signs the SPA |
| Your tier | Lite and Pro ambassadors receive the same commission rates |
For example, on a project paying 2% of the price, your commission is simply 2% of the final sale price — whatever the size of the property.
Payment Timeline: From Lead to Bank Transfer
Here is how the process works, step by step:
Stage 1: Lead Submission
You share your unique referral link. A contact registers their interest. The lead is immediately tracked on your dashboard with real-time status updates.
Stage 2: Qualification
Sofara's team evaluates the lead:
- Investment capacity
- Timeline and motivation
- Property preferences
- Budget range
Stage 3: Project Presentation
Cevitas Real Estate presents suitable projects to the qualified prospect:
- Virtual property tours
- Investment simulations (Off-Plan Simulator)
- Payment plan options (see payment plans guide)
Stage 4: Decision & Closing
The prospect decides at their own pace and the deal closes:
- Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed
- DLD registration completed (DLD fees guide)
- Escrow payment confirmed
Stage 5: Commission Payment
Within 7 days once the client signs the SPA:
- Commission calculated automatically
- International bank transfer initiated
- Confirmation and receipt sent to your email
- Dashboard updated in real time

How it works in practice: When an ambassador you brought to Sofara closes a deal, they receive their usual commission — and you receive a bonus equal to 10% of that commission, with no extra work beyond the initial introduction.
