Community Contribution Program

Terms and Conditions

Effective enrollment period: August 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027
Final eligible closing date: June 30, 2028

These Terms and Conditions govern participation in the Community Contribution Program offered by Maksim Egorov in connection with licensed real estate services conducted through his responsible real estate broker.

Participation is subject to responsible-broker approval, brokerage policies, supervision, compensation-disbursement procedures, applicable law, and the signed transaction-specific Community Contribution Selection Form.

1. Purpose of the Program

The purpose of the program is to contribute a portion of the compensation personally received by the Agent from eligible real estate transactions and lawful real estate brokerage referrals to eligible nonprofit or community organizations.

The program is designed to support local organizations and community causes independently selected by eligible clients.

The Agent may provide a reference list of local nonprofit or community organizations for convenience. Inclusion on the list is not an endorsement, recommendation, or requirement. Clients may select another eligible organization that is not included on the reference list.

The final recipient selection belongs to the client, subject to the eligibility requirements contained in these Terms and Conditions.

2. Parties and Responsible Broker

The program is offered by Maksim Egorov, referred to in these Terms as the “Agent.”

All licensed real estate services are conducted through the Agent’s responsible real estate broker, referred to as the “Broker.”

The Broker is not obligated to participate in, fund, administer, or guarantee the program unless the Broker expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

The program is subject at all times to:

• The Broker’s prior approval

• The Broker’s policies and supervision

• The Broker’s compensation and disbursement procedures

• Applicable federal, state, and local law

• Applicable real estate licensing and advertising requirements

If the Broker determines that a transaction or contribution cannot legally or properly participate in the program, the transaction may be excluded.

3. Program Enrollment

To participate, an eligible client must sign the applicable Community Contribution Selection Form or other written program addendum between January 1, 2027, and December 31, 2027.

The related real estate transaction must successfully close no later than June 30, 2028.

Signing a buyer-representation agreement, listing agreement, referral form, or other brokerage agreement does not by itself enroll a client in this program.

Program enrollment must be separately confirmed in writing.

4. Eligible Direct-Representation Transactions

A direct-representation transaction may qualify when:

1. The Agent personally represents the buyer or seller through the Broker.

2. The transaction is permitted under applicable law and brokerage policy.

3. The transaction successfully closes.

4. The Broker receives the applicable real estate compensation.

5. The Agent receives a disbursement of compensation from the Broker.

6. The client timely signs the Community Contribution Selection Form.

7. The selected organization satisfies the program’s eligibility requirements.

8. All other program conditions are satisfied.

No contribution is required for a transaction that fails to close or from which the Agent does not receive compensation.

5. Agent Net Compensation

For direct-representation transactions, the contribution equals 30% of the Agent Net Compensation.

“Agent Net Compensation” means the real estate commission compensation actually disbursed to the Agent by the Broker after deduction of:

• The brokerage commission split

• Transaction or administrative fees charged by the Broker

• A lawful real estate referral fee payable to another licensed brokerage

• Any other deduction specifically required by the Broker and disclosed in the applicable program form

Agent Net Compensation does not include:

• Compensation paid to another agent or brokerage

• The property’s sale price

• The total commission paid by any party

• Compensation that the Agent does not receive

• General business overhead

• Income taxes or self-employment taxes

• Mileage or travel costs

• General subscriptions or office expenses

• Personal expenses

• Discretionary marketing expenses, unless expressly identified and accepted in the signed transaction-specific form

Whenever reasonably possible, the signed program form will identify any permitted transaction-specific deduction other than the standard brokerage split and brokerage fees.

6. Eligible Real Estate Brokerage Referrals

The program may apply when the Agent refers a client to another licensed real estate professional or brokerage.

A referral transaction is eligible only when:

1. The referral is lawful in each relevant jurisdiction.

2. The referral is approved by the Broker.

3. A written brokerage-to-brokerage referral agreement is used when required.

4. The referred real estate transaction successfully closes.

5. The receiving brokerage pays the referral compensation to the Agent’s Broker.

6. The Agent’s Broker disburses a share of the referral compensation to the Agent.

7. The client signs the applicable Community Contribution Selection Form.

8. The selected organization is eligible.

9. All other program conditions are satisfied.

For an eligible referral transaction, the contribution equals 30% of the net real estate referral compensation actually disbursed to the Agent by the Broker after applicable brokerage deductions.

No contribution is required when:

• The referred transaction does not close

• The referral compensation is not paid

• The Agent does not receive a disbursement

• The referral is prohibited by law or brokerage policy

7. Excluded Settlement-Service Referrals

This program does not apply to compensation, gifts, fees, benefits, or anything of value arising from the referral of settlement or related services.

Excluded services include, without limitation:

• Mortgage lending

• Escrow

• Title insurance

• Home warranties

• Structural pest-control services

• Appraisal services

• Inspection services

• Insurance services

• Repair or contractor services

• Other settlement services regulated by applicable law

The referral portion of this program applies only to lawful real estate brokerage referrals approved and processed through the Broker.

A client’s eligibility will never depend on the client’s selection of a particular lender, title company, escrow company, inspector, contractor, insurer, home-warranty provider, or other settlement-service provider.

8. Contribution Amount

For an eligible direct-representation transaction:

Contribution = 30% of Agent Net Compensation

For an eligible real estate brokerage referral:

Contribution = 30% of the net referral compensation actually disbursed to the Agent

The final contribution amount cannot be determined until:

1. The transaction closes.

2. The Broker receives the applicable compensation.

3. The Broker completes all required deductions and adjustments.

4. The Agent receives the final compensation disbursement.

5. The selected recipient is confirmed as eligible.

Any amount shown before final calculation is an estimate only and is not binding.

9. Client Designation of Recipient

The client may independently designate an eligible recipient through a signed Community Contribution Selection Form.

The Agent may provide a reference list of local nonprofit or community organizations for informational convenience only.

The reference list:

• Is not a recommendation or endorsement

• Does not require the client to select a listed organization

• May not include every eligible organization

• Does not guarantee that a listed organization will remain eligible

• Does not limit the client’s ability to select another eligible organization

The client’s designation is subject to:

• Recipient eligibility

• Broker approval and policies

• Applicable law

• Completion of required verification

• The recipient’s ability to accept the payment

The client must submit the completed and signed selection form no later than 15 calendar days after closing, unless a different deadline is stated in the transaction-specific form.

A verbal request, text message, social-media message, or informal email will not constitute a final recipient designation unless incorporated into an accepted written program form.

10. Community Contribution Selection Form

The selection form may identify:

• The client

• The related transaction

• The organization independently selected by the client

• The organization’s contact and payment information

• An alternative recipient

• The applicable compensation formula

• Any permitted transaction-specific deductions

• The estimated contribution amount, when available

• The client’s designation deadline

• The expected contribution-processing period

• Applicable acknowledgments and disclaimers

The client and Agent will sign the form.

The Broker may also require review, approval, or signature.

The signed form does not make the selected organization a party to the real estate transaction or give the organization any rights under the brokerage agreement.

11. Agent Is the Donor

The contribution will be made directly by the Agent or through a process approved by the Broker.

The client:

• Does not receive the contribution funds

• Does not possess or control the contribution funds

• Has no ownership interest in the funds

• Is not the donor

• May not claim a charitable or tax deduction based on the contribution

• Does not receive a rebate, closing credit, commission refund, or financial benefit

The client’s role is limited to independently designating an eligible recipient.

The contribution will not be paid through the client unless expressly permitted by law and approved in writing by the Broker. The normal practice will be direct payment to the selected organization.

12. Eligible Organizations

An eligible recipient may include:

• A qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organization

• An eligible 501(c)(4) social-welfare organization

• Another legally organized nonprofit community organization approved under the program

The recipient must:

• Be legally organized

• Be in good standing when required

• Be able to lawfully accept the payment

• Provide reliable payment information

• Provide appropriate documentation when requested

• Comply with applicable law

• Be acceptable under Broker policy

• Not unlawfully discriminate in connection with the funded activity

The Agent or Broker may request evidence of the recipient’s:

• Legal name

• Tax identification number

• IRS status

• State registration or corporate status

• Authorized payment address

• Authorized representative

• Ability to accept the contribution

The inclusion of an organization on a reference list does not automatically establish or guarantee its eligibility.

13. Reference List of Organizations

The Agent may maintain or provide a nonexclusive reference list of local nonprofit and community organizations.

The list is intended only to help clients identify possible organizations and does not represent:

• An endorsement by the Agent

• An endorsement by the Broker

• A recommendation that a client select a particular organization

• A guarantee that an organization qualifies

• A partnership between the organization and the Agent or Broker

• A guarantee that an organization will receive a contribution

The client remains free to select another eligible organization that does not appear on the reference list.

The client’s choice must be voluntary and independently made.

The Agent may add, remove, or update organizations on the reference list at any time based on current information, recipient eligibility, Broker policy, or applicable law.

14. Ineligible Recipients and Uses

Contributions may not be directed to:

• An individual

• A personal fundraising request

• A political candidate

• A candidate-controlled committee

• A political campaign committee

• A political party

• A recipient prohibited by law

• A recipient prohibited by Broker policy

• A recipient unable to lawfully accept the payment

• A recipient that fails to provide required verification

• A recipient whose requested use would create a legal, ethical, licensing, campaign-finance, or material reputational concern

A contribution to an otherwise eligible 501(c)(4) organization may be permitted, but it may not be earmarked through this program for a political candidate, campaign committee, political party, or prohibited political expenditure.

This restriction applies only to the Community Contribution Program. It does not prevent the Agent or client from separately making lawful personal political contributions outside the program.

15. Alternative Recipient

The client may identify an alternative eligible recipient on the selection form.

If the primary recipient is:

• Ineligible

• Unable to accept the payment

• Unresponsive

• Legally prohibited

• Rejected under Broker policy

• No longer operating

• Unable to provide required documentation

the Agent may ask the client to select another eligible recipient in writing.

If the client does not provide a valid alternative within 15 calendar days after receiving notice, the Agent may independently select another eligible local nonprofit or community organization.

The Agent is not required to select an organization that previously appeared on a reference list.

16. Failure to Make a Timely Selection

If the client does not submit a complete and valid Community Contribution Selection Form by the applicable deadline, the Agent may independently select an eligible local nonprofit or community organization.

The client will not be entitled to payment, reimbursement, a rebate, or a financial credit because the client failed to make a timely selection.

17. Timing of Contribution

The contribution will ordinarily be processed within 45 calendar days after the later of:

1. The Agent’s receipt of final compensation from the Broker.

2. Confirmation of an eligible recipient.

3. Completion of the required Community Contribution Selection Form.

4. Resolution of any compensation adjustment or dispute.

5. Completion of any required Broker review.

The 45-day period is an administrative target and may be extended when reasonably necessary because of accounting, recipient-verification, legal, brokerage, or payment-processing issues.

18. Compensation Reversals and Adjustments

If any portion of the compensation used to calculate the contribution is later:

• Reversed

• Refunded

• Charged back

• Disputed

• Reduced

• Reallocated

• Determined not to have been earned

• Subject to a brokerage correction

the contribution may be recalculated.

No additional contribution will be required until the compensation amount is final.

If the contribution has already been paid, the Agent will not seek reimbursement from the client. Any adjustment involving the recipient will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the recipient’s policies.

19. Personally Owned and Affiliated Real Estate

The program does not apply to a transaction involving real estate in which any of the following holds a direct or indirect ownership or beneficial financial interest:

• The Agent

• The Agent’s spouse

• A trust established for the benefit of the Agent or the Agent’s spouse

• An entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Agent or the Agent’s spouse

• Another affiliated person or entity specifically identified in the transaction-specific program form

These transactions are excluded because the Agent may be acting as an owner, investor, principal, beneficiary, or affiliated party rather than solely as a real estate representative for an independent client.

The Agent may voluntarily make a separate contribution after an excluded transaction, but no contribution is required under this program.

20. Other Excluded Transactions

Unless specifically included in writing, the program does not apply to:

• Transactions that fail to close

• Transactions for which the Agent receives no compensation

• Personally owned or affiliated-property transactions

• Rental transactions

• Lease transactions

• Property-management services

• Transactions outside the program dates

• Transactions that cannot be combined with another rebate, credit, promotion, or financial arrangement

• Transactions prohibited by law

• Transactions prohibited by Broker policy

• Transactions expressly identified as ineligible in writing

21. Equal and Neutral Administration

The program will be administered using neutral and consistent eligibility standards.

Participation, contribution calculations, service quality, and client treatment will not be based on a person’s protected characteristics.

The client is not required to support any organization preferred, listed, or identified by the Agent.

The client’s recipient selection will not affect:

• The price or terms of brokerage services

• The level or quality of representation

• Negotiation strategy

• Access to listings or services

• The Agent’s legal and fiduciary obligations

• The Broker’s duties

22. No Guarantee of Tax Deductibility

No representation or warranty is made regarding the federal, state, or local tax treatment of any contribution.

Contributions to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations may be deductible to the actual donor when applicable legal requirements are satisfied.

Contributions to most 501(c)(4) organizations are generally not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income-tax purposes.

A payment that is not deductible as a charitable contribution may or may not qualify for another form of tax treatment.

The Agent, client, Broker, and recipient should obtain independent tax advice.

The client may not claim a deduction because the client is not the donor.

23. No Client Rebate or Financial Benefit

The program is not intended to provide:

• A commission rebate

• A purchase-price credit

• A closing-cost credit

• Cash to the client

• A gift to the client

• A referral payment to an unlicensed person

• A financial inducement involving settlement-service selection

• A charitable deduction to the client

The contribution is made from compensation received by the Agent after completion of the eligible transaction and satisfaction of all program conditions.

24. Advertising and Required Disclosures

All advertising for the program is subject to:

• Broker approval

• California real estate advertising requirements

• Required use of the Agent’s licensed name

• Required disclosure of the Agent’s real estate license number

• Required identification of the responsible Broker

• Any additional disclosure required for the advertising format

The public webpage is a summary only.

These Terms and Conditions and the signed transaction-specific program form control if there is a conflict with an advertisement, social-media post, flyer, email, reference list, or other promotional statement.

25. Privacy and Public Reporting

The Agent may publish general program-impact information, including:

• Total contributions

• Number of eligible transactions

• Organizations supported

• General categories of causes

• General community impact created through the program

The Agent will not publicly disclose a client’s:

without the client’s permission, except when disclosure is required by law, Broker policy, tax reporting, accounting, or payment processing.

The Agent may retain:

• Signed selection forms

• Contribution calculations

• Compensation statements

• Recipient verification

• Payment confirmations

• Client communications

• Broker approvals

• Tax or accounting documents

Records will be maintained in accordance with applicable law and Broker policy.

27. Modification, Suspension, and Renewal

The Agent may renew, extend, modify, suspend, or discontinue the program for future clients.

A modification will apply prospectively and will not alter an obligation that has already become final under a signed program form after:

1. The transaction has closed.

2. The Agent has received final compensation.

3. Agent Net Compensation has been calculated.

4. The selected recipient has been approved.

5. All required conditions have been satisfied.

The program may be immediately suspended when required by:

• Compensation restrictions

• Tax or accounting concerns

• Material program abuse

• Other circumstances making continued operation unlawful or impractical

28. Change of Brokerage or License Status

If the Agent changes brokerage affiliation, becomes inactive, loses the ability to perform licensed services, or is otherwise unable to receive compensation, program participation may be affected.

Any pending obligation will be handled subject to:

• Applicable law

• The prior and new brokers’ policies

• Compensation-disbursement rules

• The signed program form

• The Agent’s actual receipt of compensation

No contribution is required from compensation the Agent does not legally receive.

29. No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights

Except for the Agent, and the Broker when expressly made a party, no person or organization is intended to have contractual enforcement rights under these Terms.

The client’s designation of an organization does not create a contract between the client and the organization or make the organization a third-party beneficiary unless expressly agreed in a separate signed writing.

30. Conflicts Between Documents

If there is a conflict among program materials, the following order will control:

1. Applicable law

2. Broker requirements and written instructions

3. The transaction-specific Community Contribution Selection Form

4. These Terms and Conditions

5. The public webpage

6. Other promotional materials or reference lists

31. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

32. No Legal or Tax Advice

The program materials do not provide legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.

Clients and recipients should consult their own qualified advisers regarding any legal or tax issue related to participation or receipt of a contribution.

33. Acceptance

Participation requires written acceptance through the applicable Community Contribution Selection Form or program addendum.

The form should be reviewed and approved by the responsible Broker before use.

The Agent should not accept enrollment, promise a contribution, or sign a program form until all required Broker approvals have been obtained.
