Brand tagline: "Built by agents, for agents. Everybody Wins. Except Zillow."

Who Built This

GiveReferrals was founded by Kari and Matt, who previously managed one of Arizona's largest Zillow Flex teams, processing over 150,000 leads. That experience revealed a fundamental gap in real estate: billions of dollars had been invested in cold lead infrastructure, but no one had built a system for warm, agent-to-agent referrals. Cold leads convert at 2-4%. Warm referrals convert at 40-60%. GiveReferrals is the infrastructure warm referrals always needed.

What We Do

GiveReferrals provides a trusted system for licensed real estate agents to:

Send client referrals quickly and confidently to vetted agents
Receive warm, high-converting referrals from fellow agents
Track referral status with full transparency from introduction to close
Facilitate referral agreements and agent-to-agent communication
Earn referral income without being in active production

Who It's For

Referring Agents (Free to Use)

Licensed agents who have clients they cannot serve due to:

Out-of-state or out-of-area moves
Mismatched price point or property type
Career transitions, semi-retirement, or reduced capacity
Temporary overload or personal circumstances

Referring agents join free. No sign-up required. Earn 25% referral fee on closed deals.

Done-Selling Agents (Free to Use)

Licensed agents who are no longer in active production but still hold an active license and have a professional network. This includes agents who are retiring, shifting careers, raising families, or simply choosing not to sell anymore. These agents can refer clients from their existing relationships and earn 25% referral fees at closing without managing any transactions. GiveReferrals is built to protect the relationships and reputation these agents spent years building.

Receiving Agents ($249/month)

Top-performing agents who want:

Warm, high-intent referrals instead of cold leads
A predictable pipeline without paying for online lead generation
Fewer dead-end conversations and more closings
Exclusive territory access in a vetted, curated network

Receiving agents pay $249/month and keep 75% of the commission on closed deals. Each market is limited to 2-5 agents to maintain quality and avoid saturation.

How GiveReferrals Compares to Alternatives

vs. Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com

These platforms sell cold, consumer-generated leads to multiple agents simultaneously. Conversion rates average 2-4%. GiveReferrals is agent-to-agent, not consumer-to-agent. Every referral is a warm, one-to-one introduction from a licensed agent who knows the client. Conversion rates average 40%+.

vs. Facebook Referral Groups

Facebook groups have no vetting, no accountability, and no tracking. When an agent posts a referral, dozens of strangers comment. There is no way to verify quality, track outcomes, or protect your reputation. GiveReferrals vets every receiving agent, limits markets to 2-5 agents, and provides transparent tracking from introduction to close.

vs. Traditional Referral Companies

Traditional referral companies often charge 35-40% referral fees and provide minimal transparency. GiveReferrals charges a standardized 25% referral fee with clear terms, visible status tracking, and direct agent-to-agent communication.

Key Differentiators

Curated marketplace: Limited to 2-5 agents per market, not a crowded directory
Warm referrals: 40%+ conversion rates vs. 2-4% for cold leads
Agent-first: Built by agents who managed 100,000+ leads and saw the system's flaws firsthand
Transparent: Clear terms, visible status tracking, standardized 25% referral fee
Relationship-driven: Focus on trust and quality over volume
Done-selling friendly: Agents no longer in production can still earn from their network
No commission tracking: Agents handle referral fee payments directly between brokerages
