How a referral works

  1. You introduce a buyer

    Call or text Karina, or give your buyer her number. We record who sent them, so the credit is yours.

  2. We run the numbers

    A rental projection for the home they're looking at, made a priority: conservative, the assumptions shown, and what they'd net.

  3. Your buyer closes with you

    The sale, the commission and the client stay yours. We look after the home once they own it.

  4. They sign with us

    Your buyer signs with SoCal for management, and the 2% is set out in a written agreement with you.

  5. You're paid each month

    2% of the home's rental revenue, paid directly to you, for as long as we manage it.

Questions agents ask

Does it cost anything?
No. The guide is free, and so is every copy you send.

What do you need from me?
Your name, email, mobile and brokerage, and a photo if you'd like one on the cover. We take care of the rest, and Karina gets it to you.
How is the 2% paid?
Monthly, directly to you, under a written agreement, from when a buyer you introduce signs with us for management and for as long as we manage the home. Rental revenue is the nightly rate times the nights booked, excluding taxes, cleaning and all other fees.
Does my client stay my client?
