the network
Every agentis a referral source.
Most referral platforms charge you to send a referral. We don't. The network is part of the platform — you're already in it.
- 01Send a buyer leaving your market to a vetted agent who knows the new one.
- 02Track the referral from intro to closing.
- 03Default split is 25%, override per-deal.
- 04Get paid through the same platform — no chasing checks.
A referral that doesn't get lost in your inbox.
Most agent referrals fall apart between the intro text and the actual handoff. Action Agent keeps every referral inside the same workspace your business already runs in — every conversation, every milestone, every dollar tracked end-to-end.
how the network works
Match before you sendSearch the network by market, language, price band, and recent production. See who'll actually take care of your client before you make the intro.
Tracked end-to-endFrom the first message to the wire. Every milestone — under-contract, inspection, financing, closing — visible to both agents in one thread.
Splits everyone agrees onDefault is 25%, but you can override per deal. Both sides see the math before the deal closes — no awkward conversations.
Paid through the platformWhen the deal closes, the referral payout settles through the same place your subscription bills. No chasing checks, no cross-state W-9s.
RESPA-aware by defaultAction Agent's referral flow follows RESPA, your state's licensing rules, and any cooperating MLS or board's standards. The platform won't let you ship a referral that breaks compliance.
Receive while you sendAgents on the network see your market and your specialties. Send referrals out, get them back — that's the whole point.
Refer. Get referred. Keep the relationship.
The agent on the other end is one you've actually vetted — production, language, market knowledge, recent reviews. The handoff is warm because the network is curated.

agents ask
What agents ask about the referral network.
Does Action Agent take a cut of referrals?
No. The platform never takes a percentage of any referral. The only money that moves between agents is the split they negotiated themselves, settled through the platform when the deal closes. Our revenue is the flat-fee subscription; the network is part of the platform value, not a separate take.
What is the default referral split?
25% of the receiving agent's commission, agreed before the introduction is made. Higher-touch referrals (the sending agent did the qualification, knows the buyer's budget) often command 30–35%. Lower-touch referrals settle closer to 20%. The agreed number is captured in writing and visible to both agents through closing.
Are agent-to-agent referrals on the network RESPA-compliant?
Yes, by design. RESPA Section 8 carves out cooperative agreements between licensed real estate agents. The platform enforces the four practical conditions: both agents licensed, the referring agent doesn't perform settlement services on the same transaction, the agreement is in writing, and state-level disclosure obligations are met. We won't let an agent ship a referral that misses any of those.
How are referrals matched? Is it just an alphabetical directory?
Curated. Search by market, language, price band, recent production, and review history. The sending agent sees only agents whose verified data fits what their client needs. We optimize for handoff quality over directory size — a smaller curated network beats a giant Yellow Pages every time.
How do payouts settle when the deal closes?
Automatically through the same payment channel that bills your subscription. When the closing lands, the agreed split moves from receiving agent to sending agent without an invoice chase. No cross-state W-9 hunt, no "I'll send the wire next week." This is the single biggest source of disputes in informal arrangements; closing it is most of the value.
What if a buyer leaves my market for a city where Action Agent doesn't have an agent?
The network is invite-only and growing market by market. If you have a referral going to a city we don't yet have an agent in, you can either send it outside the platform (and we won't track or settle it) or recommend an agent you know and we'll onboard them so future referrals can route through the platform. The network grows fastest in the markets your agents send to.
