Leads and referrals, one connected economy
Anyone can feed the network leads and earn credits. Licensed agents turn those credits into real referrals — and real checks. Here's exactly how the pieces fit.
Anyone can drop a lead
A lead is a heads-up about someone buying, selling, or relocating. Lenders, title reps, notaries, past clients, friends — anyone. No license required.
- ✓Each accepted lead earns 1 credit.
- ✓If your lead closes, you earn 3 bonus credits.
- ✓Credits are rewards for participation — never tied to a closing.
Licensed agents trade referrals
A referral is a real client hand-off with a signed agreement and a fee — the standard 25% of commission, paid broker-to-broker and held in escrow.
- ✓Post a referral when your client moves out of state.
- ✓Claim one to grow your business in your market.
- ✓The fee is escrow-guaranteed and releases at close.
