Referral Program

Real Estate Agents

Do you ever lose a listing?
You have listed a property and marketed it hard, but due to the current market, or a tough Vendor it has not sold.

Worse still, the listing is about to run out and the Vendor has given you a clear signal that they are either listing with another Agency, going to try and sell it privately, or are taking it off the market altogether - maybe even rent it out.

What's the cost of a lost listing, and who carries the can?
So, the facts are that with all the time and effort that you have put in to this listing will in fact have been a real cost to you in monetary terms. Call it operating expenses, call it the cost of doing business, call it over-heads. Regardless of the term, your hard earned money has come out of your pocket, not your Agency's.

For a moment, just think about the financial cost of all those hours spent preparing, attending open homes, cellphone expenses, vehicle costs, cards and stationery, clothing, sundry expenses, and shoe leather. A simple calculation would easily mount up to several $100's of dollars for each listing. What's more, your Agency isn't in the gun for those costs - you are.

The moment that Listing expires is the moment that those costs can never be recovered by you for this Listing. That's $100's of your dollars down the drain… GONE!

A $ earned is a $ $aved
BUT, maybe we have a solution that will reimburse you for most, if not all that wasted money. All you would need to do is let us know that you had a listing that was about to expire and we will do the rest. And should we sign that property up for our Key2Own program we will send you a thank-you payment of $500.

Would that help in some way to reimburse you for the costs you have paid out to date?

Mortgage Brokers

Do you ever work for no financial rewards?
Have you ever had clients come in, either with a Sale & Purchase Agreement that is conditional upon finance; or people who wanted a preapproval to buy a property in the near future. In fact, we would bet that is a fair proportion of the business that comes across your desk. They are probably first home buyers and you would no doubt love to help these people get into a new home. However, they haven't got sufficient funds to purchase, or their income is not adequate for the Banks' Debt Servicing Ratio.

What is the real cost of providing your service?
On the pragmatic, business side you have spent valuable time with them, plus time on the phone, and a little more time getting all the information together, and a little more time making applications and pleading their case to various lenders. And time is money! Unfortunately all to no avail, as the application will be declined and you will never get a fee. So, you will never recover any of the costs associated with all the time and effort you have invested to date.

A $ earned is a $ $aved
BUT, maybe we have a solution that will reimburse you for most, if not all that wasted time and money. And because we'll encourage them to maintain a relationship with you, you'll also end up making your normal fees in a few years time after we assist these customers to get their financial house in order.

All you need to do is let us know that you have clients that might be suitable for our Keys2Own program and we will have a chat to them. And should we find a suitable home for them we will send you a thank-you payment of $500. PLUS, they will continue to be a client and you will organise their mortgage in a few years time when they are in a position to complete the purchase of their home.

Would that help in some way to reimburse you for the costs you have paid out to date?

General Referrals

1. Helping a friend own their own home

Are you interested in helping a friend, or colleague own their own home?
Maybe someone close has expressed a dream of being a home owner. They might even have tried to buy a house but couldn't get a mortgage from a bank; or maybe they tried to get pre-approval for a mortgage but were knocked back.

Let them know about us, and ask them to put your name and contact details on their Application Form (or you could contact us direct). In the event that they take out an option to purchase a property from us we will happily send you a cheque for $500 dollars.

2. Helping a friend sell their house and solve their problems

Who do you know who can't get on with their life because they can't sell their house?
A good lead for us is someone who wants to sell their house for whatsoever reason. They have probably had it on the market for a while, but haven't sold it as yet. Now they are getting nervous and are even talking about taking it off the market and renting the house out. In essence they need to take some form of action - sooner rather than later.

They are probably on the move to another part of the country, or maybe emigrating abroad. But the big stumbling block is that their house just won't sell; or the only way that it will sell is if they were to take an absolute bath on the price.

We believe that we can provide a win-win solution for your friend, so they end up with someone who is qualified to look after their property and ultimately pay a fair price when it is sold.

Let them know about us, and ask them to mention your name and contact details as the referrer (or you can contact us direct). In the event that we complete a successful lease with an option to purchase their property we will happily send you a cheque for $500 dollars.

3. What about giving this fee to a worthy cause?

If someone helped you to reach the biggest goal in your life, or helped you solve a major problem, would you mind if they earned a small fee? - I know I wouldn't.
If you are going to refer someone to us, our advice would be to let them know up front that you will receive a small payment for helping them to realise their dream, or solve their problem.

This is money that no one else but you can ever earn, because without your knowledge and help this proposal would never otherwise happen.

You can feel very proud that you stepped in and made it happen. Those friends are either going to have their amazing dream come true, or they are going to have a huge head-ache cured; and neither of these outcomes would have happened without your help.

However, if you do have an issue about being rewarded for helping a friend, let us know the name of your favourite charity and we will donate $500 to them, either in your name or anonymously.
