Paying for the Past: Life After the Agency
When you leave an agency, do you still owe them money? A Sunset Clause dictates how much commission the old agency gets on deals they “initiated” before you left.
The Obligation: A fair agent won’t charge you 10% forever. A standard sunset clause scales down (e.g., 7% for 6 months, 5% for the next 6, then zero).
The Bottom Line: Don’t let a past relationship bleed your future profits.
