How long does it take to get matched with a realtor?
Your request is read by a person at the Realtor Referral Hub desk — not scored by an algorithm or auctioned to bidders — and routed to one local realtor: the partner who holds your metro gets first claim. The desk works requests as they come in during its working hours, and your introduction comes from the desk or directly from that partner once they take the request. There is no instant-bot promise here on purpose: a person reads your city, your side, and your timeline, so the one introduction you get is the right one. Requesting is free, and you are never obligated to work with the partner you are introduced to.
What happens inside the wait
A person reads it.
Your city, buying or selling or renting, your timeline — read by the desk that runs the network.
One partner gets first claim.
The territory holder for your metro. If they cannot take it, the desk moves to the next partner — your request never sits in a pile.
The introduction lands.
Personally, by the desk — then you and the partner talk directly.
Need it faster?
Say so in the request, with the date driving you — a job start, a closing behind you, a lease ending. Urgency stated plainly gets worked first, and if your metro’s holder cannot move at your speed, the desk says that too and re-routes.
Ask the desk instead
