It's been a while since I've done a referral. I know a normal referral rate around here is 25%. Is that 25% of my cut of the commission... or is that 25% of the check written to my co. for 3.5%?

It is normally 25%of the total received by the company before any deductions. Although you will see referral fees at present ranging as high as 45% with some relocation companies and a few agents.

I send my referral fees based on the total amount received by my company. I assume the agent receiving the referral will be splitting with his/her broker.

JJ Canull If your company receives a 25% referral fee, they would receive the total fee and you would get your split unless your company has a different policy.

A referral commission is taken from the gross commission paid to the brokerage firm. Your brokerage firm would have a signed agreement with the referrer and it would note that as well.

It's 25% of the total commission before splits as far as I'm concerned. I have done quite a few AR referrals and that is how I pay the referral fee.

It is typically 25% of the check written to your brokerage. Splits for you and the company should be determined after the 25% is paid.
