Agent Referral

Let us be your Resource in Property Management

Property management is not the right fit for every agent, but your clients may still turn to you for guidance on rentals and investment decisions. Please consider us as a resource and partner - offering rental comps, management advice, and full-service management for your clients’ rentals—so you can position yourself as a true full‑service advisor throughout the entire real estate investment cycle.

Unlimited Referral Compensation

We want you to feel comfortable trusting us with your clients. Therefore, we are happy to provide a written referral agreement to ensure your interests are protected. Our competitive referral program ensures you're fairly compensated for your professional network. Our program includes:

• 10% of first month's rent for tenant referrals that result in successful placement
• 10% of first month's rent for leasing/placement-only owner referrals
• 15% of first month's rent for new property management owner referrals

Protecting Your Client Relationship

Your clients remain your clients. When you refer an owner or investor to us, we will:

• Explicitly honor your original professional connection
• Proactively direct them back to you for any future purchases or sales
• Never solicit your referred clients for brokerage services or attempt to take over your sales relationship

Our goal is to make you look good, deepen your value to clients, and create a long‑term, trust‑based partnership—not to compete with you.

Agent Referral Program FAQ

• How can I qualify to receive a referral fee?

  You must have an active real estate license in the state of North Carolina to qualify for our referral program. This ensures compliance with state regulations regarding real estate referrals and commissions.

• What types of properties do you manage?

  We manage a diverse portfolio of residential properties in the Greensboro area and surrounding communities. This includes single-family homes, small multi-family units, apartments, condos, and townhouses. We also manage a variety of furnished and unfurnished homes.

• How much is the referral fee for sending you a property owner for your management services?

  We offer a competitive referral fee of 15% of one month's rent for each new property owner you refer who signs a management agreement with us. For example, if the monthly rent is $2,000, you would receive a $300 referral fee.

• What commission do you pay for referring a tenant who leases one of your managed properties?

  We offer a referral fee of 10% of one month's rent for each tenant referral that results in a signed lease agreement. This simplifies the process and provides a consistent reward for successful tenant referrals.

• When is the referral commission paid out?

  Referral commissions are paid out within 30 days after we receive the first month's rent from the new property owner or tenant. This ensures prompt payment while allowing time for the lease to be fully executed.

• What happens if the client I refer decides to later buy or sell a property?

  Our business is based on interpersonal relationships, and we know yours is too. We are committed to maintaining strong relationships with our referring agents. If a client you referred to us for property management later decides to buy or sell a property, we will proactively direct them to return to you for those services. This policy respects your preexisting relationship with the client and ensures you don't miss out on potential sales opportunities.

• How can I show a property you have listed for rent?

  Please use this link to schedule a showing of one of our units.

• What sets your property management services apart from others?

  Our company was created after experiencing, firsthand, how hard it is to find a manager who treats investment properties with true ownership‑level care. That mindset shapes everything—from how risk is managed to how vacancies, maintenance, and resident selection are handled—so your client’s asset is run for long‑term performance, not just short‑term convenience.

  Doss & Spaulding provides end‑to‑end management, including rigorous tenant screening, proactive maintenance, responsive resident support, and detailed financial reporting. The goal is to give owners a hands‑off experience with consistent cash flow and clear numbers, while residents get well‑maintained homes and reliable communication.

  For referral partners, Doss & Spaulding Properties explicitly commits to honoring your agent‑client relationship. Our team focuses on your client’s property management needs, and will actively direct them to return to you for all future buying and selling needs. We are not here to compete or undermine your sales business.

• What information do you need from me when I make a referral?

  Please provide your full name, license number and the receiving firm's W-9 information. Let us know whether it is a property owner or potential tenant referral. Also, please include any relevant details about the referral's needs or preferences. We can also sign a referral agreement with you, if desired.

• Is there a limit on how many referrals I can send and collect referral fees from?

  There is no limit on the number of referrals you can send or the referral fees you can collect. We are grateful for anyone you refer to us and we handle them with the utmost care and attention.

Non-Agent Referral FAQ

• Can I earn a referral fee if I am not licensed?

  We only pay referral fees to individuals with an active NC real estate license. This ensures compliance with state regulations regarding real estate referrals and commissions.

• What is a non-agent referral?

  A non-agent referral is when someone who is not a licensed real estate agent refers a property owner or potential client to Doss & Spaulding Properties. Instead of a monetary reward, we make a donation to a charity of your choice as a thank-you for your referral.

• Who can participate in the non-agent referral program?

  Anyone who is not a licensed real estate agent can participate. This includes friends, family, current clients, vendors, or anyone in your network who knows someone in need of property management services.

• How does the non-agent referral process work?

  1. Submit the referral through our online form or contact us directly with the potential client’s details.
  2. We will reach out to the referred client to discuss their property management needs.
  3. Once the referred client signs a property management agreement with us and we successfully place a tenant in their property, we’ll donate $100 to the charity of your choice.

• What kind of donation will be made for my referral?

  We will donate $100 to any registered nonprofit organization of your choice after the referred client signs a property management agreement with us and their property is leased.

• When will the donation be made?

  The donation will be made within 30 days after the referred client’s property is leased and the tenant has moved in.

• Are there any restrictions on referrals?

  Yes, referrals must meet the following criteria:

  • The referred individual must sign a property management agreement with Doss & Spaulding Properties.
  • The referred property must be successfully leased to a tenant.
  • The charity selected must be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

• Can I refer more than one person?

  Absolutely! There is no limit to how many people you can refer. Each successful referral will result in another $100 donation to the charity of your choice.

• What happens if my referral doesn't sign up or their property isn't leased?

  If the referred individual does not sign a property management agreement or we are unable to lease their property, no donation will be made. However, we greatly appreciate your effort and encourage you to continue referring others who might benefit from our services.

• How do I select the charity for my donation?

  When submitting your referral, simply let us know which registered nonprofit organization you’d like us to donate to on your behalf.

• How do I track my referrals?

  We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and notify you once your referral has signed an agreement, their property has been leased, and the donation has been made.

• What if I have additional questions about the program?

  Feel free to contact our team at 336.494.1710. We’re happy to assist with any questions or clarifications about our non-agent referral program.
