In an ideal world, real estate agents would be the go-to resource for all client needs. However, due to regulatory constraints, this isn't always feasible, especially for clients relocating to states outside your licensure. This is where our out-of-state referral program can be invaluable to you.

How do real estate referrals work?

A real estate referral fee is typically a portion of the commission earned, given to a broker for referring a client. While negotiable, the usual referral fee is about 25% of the gross commission paid to the managing broker or firm for a single transaction side.

Real estate referrals are common when an agent is unlicensed or unable to service a client's needs in a specific state or region.

For example: Imagine you're an agent in a state like California, New York, or Pennsylvania, and your client wishes to purchase property in North Carolina, where taxes and living costs are generally lower. Instead of bidding farewell, you can refer them to a licensed Realtor in North Carolina. In return, your broker or firm receives a portion of the commission.

Getting paid for a North Carolina real estate referral:

You'll receive your referral fee once the transaction concludes. A clause in the contract entitles you to the agreed percentage upon closing. This amount is treated like any other real estate transaction by your broker, who will distribute your share after deducting their percentage.

The only required document is our NC real estate referral agreement, outlining the commission split and referral duration.
