The Problem With Informal Referrals
Every agent has turned away business — a client relocating out of state, an asset class outside their competence, a price point they do not serve. The referral usually happens over a phone call, gets documented in an email, and then depends entirely on the receiving agent remembering to pay six months later. A surprising amount of earned referral income is never collected.
Structure around the handoff
iProply turns the referral into a tracked record. The agreement terms, the client details, the receiving agent, and the commission percentage are captured at submission. Both sides can see the status without chasing each other, and the referral ledger holds the history for as long as the relationship lasts.
Vetted partners on the receiving end
Sending a client to a stranger is a reputational risk — your client remembers who recommended the agent who did not return calls. Partner agents in the iProply network are verified, with license details, coverage, specialties, and performance history visible before you route anything to them.
Status you can see without asking
The referral record moves through stages: submitted, accepted, in progress, under contract, closed. You can see where your referral stands without the awkward quarterly check-in, and the receiving agent is not fielding the same question repeatedly.
Statements and payouts, calculated not remembered
When a referred transaction closes, the ledger calculates the referral fee against the agreed percentage and generates a statement. Earnings accumulate in the partner earnings dashboard rather than in a mental note. The record of what was owed, what was paid, and when exists independently of anyone remembering to raise it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Referral Network — Common Questions
How is the referral fee agreed?
The commission percentage is set at submission and captured on the referral record, so both sides are working from the same documented terms. The ledger later calculates the fee against that agreed percentage rather than against anyone recollection.
How are partner agents vetted?
Partner agents complete iProply verification, which covers license details, brokerage, coverage area, and specialties. Performance history within the network is also visible, so you can judge a partner before routing a client to them.
Can I see what is happening with a referral I sent?
Yes. The referral record shows its stage — submitted, accepted, in progress, under contract, or closed — to both sender and receiver, so you do not have to make periodic check-in calls to find out where things stand.
When do I get paid on a referral?
The fee is calculated and a statement is generated when the referred transaction closes. Pending and paid amounts appear in your partner earnings dashboard, so the outstanding balance is always visible.
What if a referral does not close?
The record stays in the ledger with its final status, so you have an accurate history of what converted and what did not. That history is useful when deciding which partners to send future business to.
Is the referral network separate from buying leads?
Yes. The referral network is agent-to-agent business — you are exchanging clients with other professionals rather than purchasing consumer enquiries. Many agents use both, since they fill different gaps.
