A referral-only real estate agent is a licensed professional who chooses not to actively manage real estate transactions. Instead of handling showings, contracts, or negotiations, their primary role is to connect buyers and sellers with experienced, full-time agents who take over the transaction from start to finish.
This model offers a low-cost, low-effort way to earn income using your license. As a referral agent, you simply make the introduction-and when the deal closes, you receive a referral fee.
It's a perfect fit for agents looking for flexibility, extra income, or a way to stay involved in the real estate industry without the demands of a full-time career.
