Referral Agent Program

A “referral company” is a real estate brokerage created for the purpose of connecting prospective home buyers and sellers with top agents on the Virginia Peninsula, in Williamsburg and across the country.

• Some of our agents have retired from successful real estate careers, and still enjoy connecting past clients and active agents.
• Some of our agents found that selling real estate full time just wasn’t their cup of tea, but since they worked hard for their license, they wanted to capture referral opportunities.
• Some of our agents are waiting for a more opportune time to embrace a real estate career, perhaps after they retire from the military or when children are a bit older, but wanted to be involved and connected.
• Many others are simply interested in making some extra money, and appreciate that this is a simple way to do it.

Referral Associates can earn referral fee income by simply picking up the phone and passing along the name of a prospective lead that eventually buys or sells a home through the system. When the transaction closes, the referral agent receives a portion of the commission.

Example:

Sales Price	Brokerage Fee	25% Referral Fee	Referral Associate Income
$250,000	3%	$1,875	$937.50*

*Referral commission splits increase based on closed referrals in a calendar year. LMA referral associates can earn up to 75% of the brokerage fee.

Because the brokerage does not belong to local, state and national REALTOR® organizations, referral associates do not have to incur membership dues, MLS fees or other expenses normally associated with a real estate career.

Because referral associates are limited in their practice, they do not need errors and omissions insurance, as well as other ongoing expense commitments that full time agents are responsible for.

There are no administrative fees to join or annual dues to pay to belong to LMA Realty.

If You are Interested in Obtaining a License

If you are interested in obtaining a real estate license, you must first attend a Principles of Real Estate course (either classroom or online), pass a final classroom exam, and pass the state real estate licensing exam.

Once that is completed, it costs $170 (payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, and submitted with initial salesperson paperwork to DPOR).
