Placing a referral with Realty Connect
Can I choose the agent I want to send my referral to?
Absolutely. Although we handpick network members and monitor their performance to maintain quality, many agents ask, “Can I choose the agents my referrals go to?”
The answer is yes and the benefit to this is that you can negotiate any referral fee percentage that is agreeable between you and the agent you’re referring this business to.
However, if you select your own agent, be aware we have not vetted these agents and are unable to verify the high-quality standards we have for our network agents.
Also, our ability to manage, track, service, and account for your referral as well as the collection of the referral fee requires extra time and effort from our service team since they are not in our network.
For that reason, if you select your own out-of-network agent, YOU will be responsible for negotiating the referral fee, submitting the referral in your dashboard and communicating the receipt and acceptance of the referral with your chosen agent.
Otherwise, Realty Connect will legally lose ALL ability to collect any referral fee on your behalf.
Can I choose my Network Agent?
No. Our network is designed to be a "hands-off" approach for our agents. If you're submitting your client to our network of agents the process will be automated as follows:
- Follow above steps 1&2 for submitting a referral and choose to "Place Into Our Network"
- Choose from the options "Buy", "Sell" or "Buy & Sell"
- Fill out and submit details in appropriate boxes
- Send template email provided in gold box above "Send Information" button
NOTE: There is a gold box at the bottom of the page outlining the steps that the client will need to take in order to complete the process. Please be sure to copy and paste the information as well as send the details in a personal email to your clients. This will make sure they're prepared for verification as well as agent placement.
What happens next:
- Your client will receive a call from our concierge service confirming the details of their transaction.
- They will then be matched with a top local agents that specialize in the market requested within 24 hours. Once they've chosen the agent that they want to work with that agent will reach out to them directly.
