WHAT IS A REFERRAL AGENT

WHAT IS A REFERRAL AGENT?

Definition and Responsibilities of a Referral Agent

A referral agent—also known as a real estate referral associate—is a licensed professional who earns commissions by connecting clients with trusted Realtors. Instead of managing transactions directly, referral agents use their network to introduce clients to qualified agents who best fit their needs.

 

At Vibe Realty Referrals, we make it simple to succeed as a referral agent with low costs, full support, and no MLS fees.

Differentiating from Traditional Real Estate Agents

Traditional real estate agents handle every aspect of the transaction—from marketing and showings to negotiations and closing. Referral agents, however, focus exclusively on connecting clients with the right professionals.

 

This specialized role allows referral agents to work flexibly, avoid MLS expenses, and maintain a healthy work-life balance while still earning steady income.
