The Monthly Competition

Every month, the top star-earners in each of our Canadian markets win BrokerBucks:

Placement

BrokerBucks

1st Place

πŸ’° 100

2nd Place

πŸ’° 50

3rd Place

πŸ’° 25

That means multiple winners per market, every month - one for Toronto, one for Vancouver, one for Calgary, and so on.

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.
