How Our Fee Structure Actually Works (And Why It Matters)

Most corporate real estate advisors avoid discussing how they get paid. Keeping compensation structures vague helps hide the conflict of interest inherent in transaction sourcing. We believe absolute transparency forms the bedrock of professional wealth and property advisory.

In our Leasing Advisory division, our compensation aligns with the landlord-paid model. Landlords or managed workspace providers pay our commission (standardized at one month's rent), meaning the tenant pays nothing directly to us. While this standard keeps advisory services accessible for early-stage and scaling companies, it creates a potential conflict where brokers push higher-rent assets to maximize fees. We resolve this conflict through our strict Uniform Commission Policy — our commission rate is absolutely identical across all properties, completely neutralizing any incentive to steer clients toward expensive spaces.

“We've rejected commercial properties and land parcels where the seller was ready and the buyer was interested because the title chain carried regulatory risks. Walk-away integrity is what separates advisory from transaction brokerage.”

— Krupesh, Principal Advisor at Bricx.ai

For Land Acquisitions and Commercial Property Investments, our fee is seller-paid, typically 1% to 2% of the transaction value. In these capital-heavy spaces, brokerage conflicts are resolved through institutional-grade due diligence. Traditional brokers prioritize immediate closing to secure transaction volumes. In contrast, our advisory model commits to exhaustive walk-away integrity — we regularly advise clients to withdraw from transactions when title checks, zoning verification, or tenant credit ratings fail our internal standards.

We once audited 23 consecutive land parcels on Kanakapura Road, rejecting every single one due to title inconsistencies or boundary disputes, receiving zero revenue for weeks of work. We prioritize long-term wealth preservation over short-term transaction commission. We have turned down multiple clients who demanded superficial listing aggregation instead of conviction-based curation.

Ultimately, we rejected alternative compensation systems — such as flat client retainers or savings-shared fees — because they create accessibility barriers or encourage artificial baselines. The landlord-paid model, reinforced by strict underwriting discipline and transparent disclosure, ensures our interests are completely aligned with your long-term success.
