The Monthly Competition
Every month, the top star-earners in each of our Canadian markets win BrokerBucks. That means multiple winners per market, every month - one for Toronto, one for Vancouver, one for Calgary, and so on.
Visit Community Stars in the app to see current prize amounts and your standing.
BrokerBucks are credits that automatically reduce your service fees on future sales. They're deposited to your account at the end of each month and never expire.
Your stars only count in your market's leaderboard, so you're competing with local sellers, not the entire country.
