This agreement establishes a referral arrangement between Quen Williams and _________________________________ (“Agent”). This agreement aims to use plain English so both parties understand our arrangement. We hope to have a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

Agent will be matched with buyers and sellers of real estate (“Clients”) who can best serve their needs. A “Referral” is defined as when Quen Williams has recommended the Agent to the Client. If the Agent is not able to make contact with the Referral within a reasonable amount of time, the Referral will be re-assigned to another Agent.

Referral Fee

In consideration for Referrals, the Agent agrees to pay Quen Williams a referral fee through the Agent’s employing broker as follows:

  • A referral fee is triggered when a transaction closes with the Referral.

  • The referral fee shall be 20% of the Agent’s side of the gross commission. Gross commission is calculated as that received by the Agent’s broker prior to any split of commission with the agent or any other brokers on the Agent’s side of the transaction. The Agent will not owe any monthly or per-lead fees.

  • If an Agent represents both a buyer and seller on the same transaction and one party is a Referral from Quen Williams, the referral fee will be 25% of 1⁄2 of the total gross commission of the transaction.

  • If an Agent represents both a buyer and seller on the same transaction where both parties are Referrals from Quen Williams, the referral fee will be 25% of the total gross commission.

  • If an Agent represents a client referred by Quen Williams in multiple transactions within two years of the date of the referral, the 25% referral fee will apply to these additional transactions. No fee shall apply to transactions after the two-year period.

  • After the signing of a contract for a transaction resulting from a Referral, the Agent will promptly notify Quen Williams via email and indicate the expected closing date. The Agent will have the resulting referral fee paid from escrow or by the employing broker within ten days of closing.

    Voluntary Participation

    The Agent’s participation in this service is voluntary and can be terminated by either party at any time with written notice. However, any Referrals made prior to such termination are still bound by this agreement, and referral fees (calculated per the above) will be due upon close of any transactions resulting from such Referrals.

    Fine Print

  • The Agent is responsible for maintaining his or her real estate license and for following all applicable real estate laws regarding disclosures, documentation and other broker responsibilities.

  • Referrals are not transferable to any other agent, so do not refer them. If you do and a sale closes, you agree to pay 100% of the Referral Fee just as if you were involved in the transactions.

  • In efforts to promote the Agent to the Clients, the Agent grants Quen Williams permission to display online and elsewhere information we have gathered on the Agent such as transaction data and a photo.

  • In the unlikely event of a legal dispute between Quen Williams and the Agent, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs from the other party. This Agreement will be governed by Texas law, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

  • The Agent is responsible for the real estate brokerage services provided to the Clients. The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Quen Williams harmless from any claims, costs, and damages incurred or arising from claims by Clients regarding the brokerage services provided by the Agent.
