• The homeowner is within the company's target service area;
• The homeowner attends or participates in the scheduled consultation; and
• The prospect satisfies the company's basic qualification criteria.

4. Revenue Commission: The representative earns: 10% of collected qualifying service revenue from customers personally originated by the representative during the customer's first 90 days. Commission is calculated only on money actually received by the company.

Owner's Representative services: $1,500
