The Process

How the Referral Partnership Works

I've made this as frictionless as possible. You make the introduction, I do the work, and your fee shows up at closing.

01

You Submit the Form

Two minutes, no commitment. Just give me a quick picture of your client's situation.

02

I Handle Everything

I contact your client and manage everything while keeping you updated.

03

You Get Paid at Closing

Your referral fee is protected and paid through closing.

Why Your Clients Are Safe With Me

I know what it means to trust someone with a client you've built a relationship with. I treat every referred client the way I'd want my own clients treated — with honesty, patience, and genuine local expertise.

I grew up coming to these mountains from Charleston and eventually chose to stay. That gives me a perspective that most mountain agents simply don't have: I understand what Charleston buyers are looking for because I was one of them.

Common Questions

Answers for Fellow Agents

What's the referral fee?
Standard referral fee is 25% of the gross commission earned. I'm happy to discuss other arrangements based on your situation — just mention it when you submit the form.
Do you work with buyers at all price points?
Yes. The Highlands-Cashiers market ranges from $400K cottages to $6M+ estates. I'm comfortable and experienced working across the full spectrum.
Will you keep me updated on my client's progress?
Absolutely. I send updates at every major milestone: first showing, offer submitted, under contract, and closing. You're never left wondering.
What if my client also wants to sell their Charleston home?
I work in both markets and can assist with the Charleston side as well. Or I'm happy to refer back to you — whatever works best for your relationship with the client.
How quickly do you respond to clients?
I typically respond to new client inquiries within a few hours during business hours. For motivated buyers, fast response is essential in this market and I take that seriously.
Are you familiar with investment properties and STRs?
Yes — I operated a top-rated short-term rental in Charleston and understand the investment analysis behind these decisions. I can speak your clients' language when it comes to ROI.
