Frequently Asked Questions

1.  What types of properties can I refer?
Any type of marketable real estate anywhere in the United States and Canada.

2.  Can I be actively involved in the referral after assignment?
We encourage you to be very actively involved with any referral that we place.  
You will be given the assigned agent’s name and contact on your referral
confirmation.  We also encourage you to follow up with your customer to make
certain they feel comfortable with the assigned agent.

3.  Can I request the sales associate that I want to work with my customer?
We will make every attempt at honoring your request for a particular associate;  
however,  the final broker placement is at the discretion of  RLI.

4.   How much can I earn as an active member of Realty Link International?
That depends on many factors that include how many referrals that you send, the
sales price, and depending on the commission split that you select.

5.   Do my referrals always go to a RE/MAX office?
We strive to place all referrals with a full-time and qualified associate. If we have a
RE/MAX office in the referred area, that will be our first choice.

6.    Should I call an agent or broker and assign my own referral?
No. Contact RLI and we will make the contact for you.  We will protect your referral
by obtaining a signed confirmation from the assigned associate/broker.

7.    Do I have to keep “office hours”?
Absolutely not.  You will determine your own work schedule.  You will get to mix
business with pleasure by talking to relatives, friends and acquaintances. You
can work while you are on vacation, traveling, or attending social events.  Have
your business cards ready to hand out.

8.   How do I generate referrals?
The most effective marketing tool is something with your name and contact
information. We suggest business cards.  Give them to everyone whom you
socialize with.  Another effective activity is “networking”.  Become active in
community and professional groups.

9.   What do I say to a potential buyer or seller?
Once you find out they need real estate assistance, tell them that you are a
“Referral Associate” and  you are affiliated  with a company that will assign a
trained and experienced associate to assist them.  All you need from them is their
name, home address, email address, phone numbers and the best time to call.  
Most important, is their permission to refer them.

Don’t forget that you may have an opportunity for two referrals
from just one customer.  If they are asking to be referred as a
buyer, don’t forget to ask if they have real estate to sell.
