30% Referral fee is the answer! If you have a client moving to the Houston, TX area, I'd be honored to help them find the perfect home and pay you 30%.

Other cities we service include but are not limited to:

Houston, TX
Katy, TX
Sugar Land, TX
Stafford, TX
Missouri City, TX
Richmond, TX
Rosenberg, TX

We will also resiprocate when possible! It would be an honor for us to help you clients with all of their relocation needs.

30% - not bad. It will be interesting to hear the feedback from other agents. Do you think most agents mind paying a referral fee?

Thanks for your post. Referrals represent over 87% of my business. I love receiving great referrals and gladly pay referrals to the agents who sent the clients. I also cheerfully send out referrals to agents who I know will do a great job for my clients. I think your post sends a message that you are willing to do what it takes to increase your business. 70% of the pie is better than no pie at all.

Thanks for letting us know about your services. 30% is a nice referral fee! We will keep you in mind. We have had a few clients move to Texas. (Dallas/Ft. Worth area) Never know...it is always good to have the connections! Please keep us in mind if you have anyone moving to the Chicago-land area. We have no problems paying a referral!
