DRE Referrals

What is a referral associate?

The Referral Associate is a licensed agent who earns income by “referring” or “connecting” a personal contact or qualified lead to another sales agent at DeSatnick Real Estate or an out-of-area cooperating brokerage.  The Referral Associate earns commission and is paid a “referral fee” whenever the contact they referred buys and/or sells a home.  The Referral Associate earns commission by helping another agent “connect the dots.” The Referral Associate does not list or sell property.
