Villas of Distinction, a leader in luxury villa rentals worldwide, is doubling down on its support for travel advisors with an extended bonus commission program that pays out commissions at the time of deposit—unlike any other company in the luxury villa market.

The program, which runs through July 31, 2025, offers travel advisors up to $5,000 in bonus commission on new villa bookings for travel through December 31, 2026. This initiative aims to reward advisors more quickly and frequently, regardless of travel destination or season.

“We’re thrilled that our travel advisor partners continue to find meaningful value in our bonus commission program, which is why we’ve extended it once again,” said Steve Lassman, vice president of villa product and agency relations for Villas of Distinction. “You don’t wait to deliver exceptional service—so why wait to be rewarded? This program allows advisors to earn on every villa, in every season, and it’s one more way we’re showing our commitment to their continued success.”

Unlike many commission programs that pay only after the guest completes their stay, Villas of Distinction pays advisors at the time the deposit is made. This fast payout makes it one of the most attractive offers for agents working with high-end villa rentals. Plus, the program applies across the company’s entire portfolio—from Caribbean beach houses and European estates to luxury homes in the U.S. and beyond.

But Villas of Distinction isn’t stopping at rapid commission payouts. The company also offers advisors hands-on support through access to knowledgeable Villa Specialists, personalized marketing materials and ongoing education events to help them grow their villa business.
