COM LIT (Pty) Ltd: Turning Cancelled Deals into Reclaimed Commissions

COM LIT—short for Commission Litigation—is a company dedicated exclusively to assisting estate agents in recovering lost commissions from cancelled property transactions. When a deal falls through due to a breach of contract by either the buyer or the seller, estate agents are often left without the commission they rightfully earned. COM LIT (Pty) Ltd steps in to help agents claim the damages owed to them, ensuring that they receive the commission lost as a result of the cancellation. Unlike other service providers in the industry, COM LIT (Pty) Ltd does not engage with buyers, sellers, or any other parties—its sole focus is on supporting estate agents.

COM LIT (Pty) Ltd provides a no upfront cost litigation service designed to reclaim commissions for agents. They work by personally engaging with estate agencies, collecting all relevant documentation for deals that have been cancelled due to a contractual breach. Once COM LIT (Pty) Ltd has assessed the transaction to confirm that a legitimate claim exists and that the estate agency is not at fault, they take the matter through court—at their own cost. The estate agent pays nothing upfront. Instead, COM LIT (Pty) Ltd only charges a 50% success fee, meaning they take half of the commission recovered from the defaulting party as payment. This ensures that estate agents only pay when COM LIT (Pty) Ltd successfully reclaims their lost commission, making it a risk-free solution for agencies.

In addition to litigation, COM LIT (Pty) Ltd offers preventative support services to help estate agents strengthen their contracts and minimize future commission losses. Through a monthly subscription service, agencies receive training, assistance in drafting stronger contractual clauses, and access to well-structured agreements of sale. This proactive approach enhances the enforceability of contracts, reducing the likelihood of commission disputes and cancellations.

By combining litigation with contract support, COM LIT (Pty) Ltd provides a comprehensive safety net for estate agents, ensuring they are not left out of pocket when deals fall through unfairly. Whether it’s reclaiming commissions from breached contracts or equipping agents with the right legal tools to protect future earnings, COM LIT (Pty) Ltd is the trusted partner estate agents can rely on.
