What is Referral Chase?
Referral Chase is the Realtor Referral Hub’s agent-to-agent referral flow: a realtor with a client for another metro says yes in the thread, signs the network’s standing finder’s-fee agreement once if they have not already — 5% of the receiving side’s commission to the network, no cap — and only then receives the client’s details, in that same thread. At closing, the receiving agent pays 25% of their side to the agent who brought the client, plus the 5% finder’s fee. Sign before information, always: no signature, no introduction. Premium coverage ($250 a month or $1,995 a year) replaces the 5% while it is current, and carries a delivery guarantee: a month with no qualified referral need routed to you does not bill.
The shape of it
The teaser.
A need is graded (soft / average / good) and teased to the metro’s whole bench at once — metro, side, timeline, and the fee terms, never the client’s name.
Say yes, sign once.
First to claim owns it. First-timers sign the one-page standing agreement in the thread; it covers every lead routed to them afterward.
Details, then closing.
The client’s information releases in the same thread, to the owner only. At closing the split runs on the paper: 25% to the sender, 5% to the network — or nothing, if coverage is current.
Why agents take it seriously
The chase runs through the desk — the paper, the connection, and the follow-up — so the receiving agent never chases the sender, and the sender never chases them. Check-ins are part of the deal: first within one business day of receiving the client, then at least every 14 days and at every status change. Two missed check-ins in a row pause new referrals to that partner until they are current.
