How referrals work here
Step by step
1
Join.
Apply online. Once approved, we move your license to Lehmann Referral Realty with the state’s change of employer form. Your license has to be active to earn.
2
Refer.
Send us the client’s name, what they need (buy, sell, rent) and where. You don’t show homes or write contracts. That’s the receiving agent’s job.
3
Agree in writing.
Before you hand over the client, we sign a referral agreement with the receiving agent’s broker. It sets the fee.
4
Closing.
The receiving brokerage pays our brokerage at closing. We pay you your 85%.
What referral fees look like
Referral fees typically range from 25–50%, are agreed in writing with the receiving agent before the referral, and are paid through the brokerage at closing.
Florida law says a sales associate can only be paid by their own broker, so every dollar goes through the brokerage. That protects you too: the agreement is in writing before anything happens.
Florida and beyond
Refer clients anywhere in Florida, plus most other states and many countries through broker-to-broker referrals.
Out-of-state and international referrals go broker to broker. We check the other broker’s license and the local rules before anyone signs. Not every place allows it, so we confirm each one.
Keep it simple
You’re a licensed Florida real estate agent. Say it that way. Lehmann Referral Realty isn’t an MLS or association member brokerage, so don’t use association titles or trademarks on your cards, email signature or social profiles.
If you want back in full time
Lots of people come back to sales. When you’re ready, you can talk to me about Lehmann Realty or any brokerage you like. No hard feelings either way.
