Referral Fees
Every Fee Agreed Up Front And Tracked To Paid.
Referral fees are set when the referral is sent, figured from the agreed split when the deal closes, and paid between licensed brokerages. Clients never pay a referral fee.
Pick a sale price, the receiving side's commission and your referral fee to see what you would be paid at closing.
