How are my advertising, styling and home improvements paid?
RelloPay makes a payment for the full amount required to your agency. In turn the agency pays the parties providing the vendor's property marketing services.The vendor's liability to repay RelloPay starts from the time that the vendor signs our Vendor Agreement.
When is repayment due?
The Vendor Agreement sets out when this amount is to be repaid by the vendor to RelloPay. It is typically the earlier of the following events:
- upon settlement of the property; or
- when the deposit has been released.
The selling Agency will typically process the payment to Rello on behalf of the vendor out of these proceeds of the sale. However, the Vendor Agreement will identify a “buy-back date” upon which the vendor must repay to RelloPay the amount that has been advanced on their behalf by RelloPay. If the property sells and the settlement date falls beyond the buy-back date, payment is still due on the buy-back date. The maximum funding period is 6 months from the signing of the RelloPay Vendor Agreement by the vendor.
How will the vendor know when their payment is due?
RelloPay will let you know when payment is due, including sending the vendor an invoice to let them know when they need to make payment. Payment is typically made from the proceeds of sale/ settlement; if this doesn’t happen it’ll be up to the vendor to pay us the amount due.
What happens if a vendor withdraws a property from sale?
If for whatever reason, the vendor decides to withdraw their property from sale, any marketing and styling costs which RelloPay has funded, by payment to the agency, must be paid by the vendor at the earlier of the withdrawal date or the Buy-Back Date.
What if the property doesn’t settle?
If the property doesn’t settle, or the deposit is not released by the Buy-Back Date, the vendor will still need to pay Rello the Marketing Costs plus our fees. If payment is not made, RelloPay has the right to place a caveat on the vendor's property.
Vendor needs more advertising and styling?
Simple. As long as the maximum amounts (2% or $25,000) have not been reached you can submit an additional funding request through to Rello.
