Understanding the Referral Brokerage Model in Oklahoma

A referral brokerage allows licensed real estate agents to earn income by referring clients to active agents who handle the sales process. As a referral agent, you leverage your network and expertise without engaging in the day-to-day tasks of listings, showings, and negotiations.

  • No Active Sales Duties: Focus on building relationships and connecting clients to trusted professionals.

  • Passive Income Potential: Earn referral fees when your referred clients complete transactions.

  • Reduced Expenses: Eliminate costs like Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® dues and Multiple Listing Service (MLS) fees.

  • Flexible Schedule: Enjoy more time for personal pursuits, whether it's exploring Oklahoma's natural beauty, engaging in community events, or spending time with family.

  3. Passive Income Opportunities

    Leverage your existing connections and reputation in Oklahoma's communities to earn income without the demands of active sales. Each successful referral can provide a rewarding commission.
