Here is the deal, I like to list and sell houses. Working with buyers makes me want to spoon my eyes out.

I don't have a team to refer my buyer leads to but would like to refer them anyway and get the referral fee. I figure there is just no need for me to do work I don't like.

I don't mind qualifying the buyer lead so I can tell the agent if they are A or B level buyers (C level I would just input their info into the computer and auto send listings until they are ready)

Sometimes I would refer to an agent in our office and other times I would refer to a RE/MAX agent in a different office.

What should I be concerned about when doing this and what should I do to protect myself?

Thanks in advance.

To bad we don't work in the same market Real, im the oppisite of you. I hate dealing with sellers and considering doing the same thing for my listings!

Gosh, don't think I've ever heard that!

Either your BOR, or a neighboring one should have a referral agreement you can use, if not, get a local RE attorney to draw one up for you.

Also, for referring outside your office, double check your Independent Contractor Agreement, and your office policy manual to make sure it's allowed. There may be some restrictions on that since you'll be referring to another agent, different office/company, but probably the same market area.

It really is too bad you don't live in St. Louis. Isn't funny how people are different? I can't understand how on earth people want to deal mostly with buyers but I am glad someone does.

I will check the company policy on referrals.
