How it works
One referral, from goodbye to closing day.
Here's the whole journey — from searching your client's new city to the fee arriving broker to broker. It reads longer than it takes; in the app, it's a handful of taps.
Chapter one · The search
Start in the city your client is landing
Type their destination — the actual town, not a territory. You'll see one merit-ranked list of agents who serve that market, with posted referral fees, specialties, languages, and reviews laid out in plain sight.
Or flip the direction · The Referral Board
Post the move, and let agents raise their hands
Rather field offers than search? Post your client's move to the Referral Board — destination, price band, timing, never the client's name. Posts stay non-identifying until you award the referral. Agents who cover that market raise their hands, you pick one, and everything below continues the same way.
It works both ways: watch the Board for moves landing in your market and raise your hand to win referrals — Pro members get first crack at every new post.
Chapter two · The connection
Compare, then say hello
Put a few profiles side by side and pick the agent you'd want for your own family. Send a connect request — and once they accept, you can message them directly and get a feel for who you're trusting before anything is on paper.
Chapter three · The proposal
Put the referral on the table
Share the client details and your notes. The fee is the receiving agent's posted rate — already on their profile, nothing to haggle over — and proposing costs nothing. They accept, or they decline and you choose someone else. Nothing moves forward without a yes.
Chapter four · The signatures
The brokers make it official
The referral agreement is generated and routed for e-signature — to the brokers, not the agents. Your broker signs first, then theirs, and the executed PDF lands in all four inboxes: both brokers, both agents. No templates, no chasing.
Chapter five · The introduction
Your client meets their new agent
Until both brokers sign, your client's name, phone, and email stay private. The moment the agreement is executed, the receiving agent gets their contact details — and your client hears from someone who already knows their story.
Chapter six · The closing
The fee finds its way home
When your client closes in their new city, the receiving agent marks the deal closed and you confirm the fee was received — paid broker to broker, the way it's always been done. Then, if you like, you can both leave an optional review of working together.
A note on money
ReferBridge never touches referral money and never takes a cut of closed deals. It's a SaaS tool for discovery and paperwork — the referral fee is paid broker-to-broker, off-platform.
