What Is ACN (Agent Cooperation Network) — The Future of Co-Broking in Malaysia
For decades, Malaysian property agents have relied on WhatsApp, phone calls, and good faith to co-broke deals. It’s fast — until it isn’t. Once more than two people get involved, everything falls apart: messages get distorted, follow-ups are delayed, and commission disputes explode.
The result? Good deals die from bad coordination.
That’s why ListingMine has introduced something new — a framework designed for real cooperation, not chaos. It’s called the ACN (Agent Cooperation Network) — and it’s quietly reshaping how professional co-broking will work in Malaysia.
The Co-Broking Problem: Why Traditional Methods Don’t Scale
When only two agents are involved, WhatsApp and trust can work. But once a deal crosses teams, agencies, or roles — the system breaks down.
Here’s what happens every day:
- Lost information — key details vanish in endless chat threads
- Slow response — each question passes through three or four people before reaching the decision-maker
- Message distortion — prices, terms, and conditions “evolve” each time they’re repeated
- Commission disputes — everyone claims credit; no one can prove contribution
And yet, cooperation is unavoidable. No single agent holds every buyer, every listing, or every skill needed to close a deal. The challenge isn’t whether to co-broke — it’s how to co-broke effectively.
That’s where ACN comes in.
What Is ACN?
ACN (Agent Cooperation Network) is a structured co-broking system built inside ListingMine ERP.
It allows multiple agents — from different teams, agencies, or specialties — to collaborate on a single deal with clarity, transparency, and automated fairness.
In ACN, every contributor plays a defined role — and gets paid accordingly.
Some common roles include:
- Lister – controls the unit and defines the commission split
- Buyer Closer – handles the client, negotiations, and closing
- Doc Verifier – manages SPA, title, and compliance checks
- Loan Officer / Advisor – assists with financing approval
- Marketing Agent / Referrer – generates leads or connects networks
Each role has its own entitlement. No guesswork. No handshake promises. Everyone knows their part, their pay, and their proof — from the very start.
And the best part?
Every Group or Agency on ListingMine can define its own ACN. Bosses can create, name, and customize their own rule sets. You’re not following someone else’s system — you’re building your own version of fairness, embedded in software.
ACN in Subsale vs Project Sales
ACN isn’t a theory — it already exists in many agencies, just informally. You’ve probably used it without realizing.
In subsale, the common structure is:
- A Lister who controls the unit
- A Buyer Agent who brings the client
- A Verifier or Loan Coordinator who helps close the deal
Each role contributes differently — and deserves a clear, defined share.
In project marketing, ACN-like logic has existed for years under simple codes like 433 or 334:
- 433 Model → 40% Lead Supplier / 30% Caller / 30% Closer
- 334 Model → 30% Lead Supplier / 30% Caller / 40% Closer
- Other Variants → Adjusted per project or agency
These numbers represent role-based entitlement, not random splits. It’s already ACN — just without a system to record, track, and enforce it.
Beyond 433 and 334 — True Flexibility, No Coding Needed
While 433 and 334 are common, they’re only the beginning. Every agency, team, and project is unique — and your system should be too.
That’s why ListingMine ERP doesn’t limit you to fixed patterns. You can design your own ACN, codelessly — using a simple, guided interface.
If you can imagine the rule, you can build it — no programmer required.
Examples of What You Can Create
- Tiered Roles
50% Lister, 25% Buyer Closer, 15% Loan Verifier, 10% Admin Reviewer - Team Overrides
40% Closer, 40% Lister, 10% Team Leader, 10% Branch Manager - Incentive Logic
Add 5% if a deal closes within 7 days, or auto-redistribute if a role is empty - Specialist Recognition
30% Doc Verifier, 30% Banker Liaison, 40% Negotiator - Bonus Pools
Shared pools for marketing contributors or referral networks
Each configuration is formal, transparent, and enforceable. Once defined, every deal in your agency can follow the same logic automatically.
No coding. No spreadsheets. No chaos. Just structure — on your terms.
Why Flexibility Matters
The real estate market evolves quickly:
- Commission rules change with each project
- New partnerships require new splits
- Teams grow, merge, and reorganize
If your co-broking logic is locked inside someone’s head or a spreadsheet, it becomes a bottleneck. If it’s coded into a rigid system, every tweak costs thousands.
ListingMine ERP’s codeless ACN engine gives you the power to adapt immediately — no developers, no downtime, no drama.
It’s like Excel for commission logic, but smarter:
- Audit Trails — Every update is timestamped
- Version Control — Track old vs new rules
- Transparency — Everyone sees their share
- Automation — Splits calculated instantly
This is how agencies scale cooperation without losing control.
How ACN Strengthens Cooperation
When agents know their role, reward, and rights:
- Miscommunication drops
- Speed increases
- Trust improves
Instead of chasing messages and screenshots, your team executes deals with confidence.
In other words, ACN turns teamwork from talk into structure.
And because each agency can design its own ACN, you’re not surrendering control — you’re standardizing fairness.
