DCG is a “referral only” real estate brokerage created to provide inactive agents a place to hang their license. Our agents maintain the ability to generate income through referrals. Perfect for licensees who do not want to actively work in real estate but want to keep their license active and generate income.
Simple! Just submit your single family/condo referrals to DCG and we’ll connect your buyers/sellers with an agent, or to the agent you choose. We pay you 80% of the referral fee we receive (normally 25% of the referred side commission), when the deal closes.
Absolutely! The answer is yes and the benefit to this is that you can negotiate any referral fee percentage that is agreeable between you and the agent you’re referring this business to, with a minimum of 25%. You will be responsible for securing an executed referral agreement that will need to be signed by agents and principal brokers of both firms. Any verbal agreement are unenforceable. Also, please note you will need to have an executed referral agreement in place for EACH buyers/sellers and EVERY transaction you refer AND you need to provide us a copy of that referral agreement signed by that agent’s broker. If you choose your own agent, please specify in your referral agreement whether your referral is Buying Only, Selling Only or Buying and Selling.
