Compensation for Referral
You can generate income three ways:
1. Once your client moves in and starts the Rent to Own program, you will receive $1500 for this referral.
2. If you have a relationship with a real estate agent, ask if they are willing to help your client find a property. Essentially you are giving them a lead that they otherwise would not be able to work with. For that reason, many real estate agents may be willing to give you a cut of their “buying agent” commission.
3. While you are getting compensated for a “Rent to Own Ready” lead today, you are also building up your professional credibility and pipeline of clients. Future business and word of mouth referrals will often come to you not only from homebuyers who complete our Rent to Own program successfully, but also from real estate agents.
Each month, if you introduce just two credit-challenged buyer who qualifies for our Rent to Own program, you can earn an extra $36,000 a year. No extra work or marketing is required on your part. Rent to Own specialists at Clover Properties do all the heavy lifting to help your client.
