  • We’ve got you covered! Whether your closing happens late in the day or after hours, you can always use your key fob to enter the office and drop your check in the MCA box. We check it several times before the noon deadline on the last business day of the month to ensure everything is processed. Just remember to scan and load your documents to Command as soon as possible.

  • Transmittal is our monthly process where the Market Center wraps up the books and sends the finalized information to KWRI. It’s a key part of ensuring everyone’s hard work is recognized!

  • While we’re focused on transmittal, we temporarily pause processing updates like earnest money, mutual releases, or new compliance reviews. Our main focus is on handling commission checks received by noon on the final business day of the previous month. Rest assured, once transmittal is complete and approved, we’ll jump back into action with any new items for the month.

  • Transmittal kicks off on the first business day of the month, and extends through the first three days.
