Who Can You Refer?

You may refer someone with whom you have an existing personal or professional relationship, including:

  • A friend or family member
  • A former client
  • A neighbor
  • A business or professional contact
  • Someone who has personally asked you for real estate assistance

The person must know you are making the introduction and agree to be contacted by a real estate agent.

Internet Leads? Nope.

Arch Referrals does not accept purchased leads, scraped contact information, anonymous website inquiries, cold prospects, or other internet leads from people with whom you do not have an established relationship. Submit only people you know or individuals who contacted you directly and agreed to receive help from an agent.

You Can Also Refer Yourself

Arch associates may submit themselves as a referral when buying or selling real estate.

For example, you may be:

  • Purchasing or selling your own home
  • Buying an investment property
  • Selling a rental property
  • Purchasing a vacation or second home
  • Selling inherited real estate

When your transaction closes and Arch receives the referral commission, you will receive 100% of the referral commission collected by Arch subject to the terms of our Associate Agreement.

Before You Submit a Referral

Please speak with the person before submitting their information.

Confirm that:

  • They are considering buying or selling real estate
  • They would like assistance from an agent
  • They have given you permission to share their contact information
  • They are not already committed to another agent
  • You have a general understanding of where and when they plan to buy or sell

A referral does not need to be ready to move immediately. However, the person should have a genuine interest in working with an agent and not simply be someone who might move someday.

After receiving the referral, Arch may contact the client to confirm their needs, location, and timeframe. We then identify an appropriate receiving agent, arrange the referral agreement, and keep you updated as the referral progresses.

A referral fee is earned only when:

  • The referral was properly submitted through Arch; Referrals
  • The referral was not already a duplicate submitted by another Arch associate
  • The receiving brokerage agreed in writing to pay a referral fee;
  • The referred client completes a qualifying transaction;
  • The transaction closes;
  • Arch Referrals receives the referral payment; and
  • The associate remains eligible for payment under the Associate Agreement.

Submitting a name or introducing someone to an agent does not, by itself, guarantee compensation.

Arch Referrals will keep you updated as the referral moves forward, including when the client has been connected with an agent, when a transaction is under contract, and when it closes.
