Anything earned during the course of the marriage including commissions from the sale of real estate. You cannot postpone the sales just to avoid splitting the commissions. The court will probably find that she is entitled to a share on any pending sales.

Re: married for 3 years

Any claim that was earned or accrued during the marriage is generally considered marital. Anything like accounts receivables, commissions, etc. is normally part of equitable distribution.
