REFERRAL AGENT PARTNERS

What is a Referral Agent?

In a nutshell, a Referral Partner is a Massachusetts licensed real estate agent who receives a fee for referring someone they know to another Massachusetts licensed broker or agent (legally, only a broker can pay a referral fee). You can receive a referral even if your real estate license is in inactive status. If you have an active license you cannot legalize receive a referral fee unless you are associated with a broker. If your license is in active status, you can become associated with Armstrong Field as a Referring Agent. 

Why would I want to be a Referral Agent, rather than actively sell real estate?

When you are actively listing and selling real estate you have to be available at all times. You cannot successfully hold a full-time job AND sell real estate. Showings, listing appointments, home inspection, etc. happen during the day, Monday - Friday, as well as the weekends. If you are not available you must rely on someone else to help you out. It is just not practical. As a Referral Partner, all you have to do is give a name and contact information and we will do the rest.

How much can I earn?

For each referral that you send to us, we will pay you 25% of the commission that Armstrong Field receives from the sale of the property after closing. For example: If the property sells for $600,000 and we receive a 2.5% commission, you would receive a referral check in the amount of $3,750! 

Will I have to pay any fees or dues?

No. As a Referral Agent, you do not have to join the REALTOR association or subscribe to the MLS service. This saves you about $1,000 per year. There is no cost to join the Armstrong Field Referral Program, and no other fees.*

Who can I refer to you?

You can refer anyone to us that you personally know - family, friends, co-workers, business associates, the mailman, teachers - just about anyone! The only thing we ask is that you talk with the person first and give him/her/them some basic info about us. Then give us a call or fill out the online referral form and we will take it from there. The next thing you know you will have a referral check from us!
