Some landlords offer on-signing commissions

As brokers, who work on commission, worry about getting paid in an uncertain economy, some landlords are offering full commissions, or even double commissions, at lease signing, instead of paying them out over a period of time. Buildings where brokers are seeing on-signing commissions include 1040 Avenue of the Americas, 437 Madison Avenue, 11 West 19th Street and 218 West 40th Street.
