Referral Agent Myth-Busting: What’s Fact and What’s Fiction?

There are plenty of misconceptions floating around about what it means to be a referral agent. But how much of what you’ve heard is actually true? Time to put your knowledge to the test with our Referral Agent Myth-Busting Poll! Let’s see how well you can separate fact from fiction—and uncover the truth about building a successful referral business with Send Realty.

Myth 1: “Being a referral agent isn’t a real career.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! Being a referral agent is absolutely a legitimate career path. It offers the flexibility to stay active in the real estate world while earning income—without the hustle of daily transactions. In fact, many agents find that it’s the perfect way to balance other commitments while still making money!

Myth 2: “You can’t make a good income as a referral agent.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! You can absolutely make a great income as a referral agent. Your earnings depend on how many referrals you generate and the commission splits you negotiate, but successful agents can build a steady stream of income—especially with Send Realty’s flexibility to set your own referral fees.

Myth 3: “Referral agents can only work with agents in one specific brokerage.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! At Send Realty, you’re not restricted to one brokerage brand. You have the freedom to connect clients with the best agents for their specific needs, no matter where those agents work. That means more options for your clients and better matches for their real estate goals.

Myth 4: “You have to be working full-time to make referrals.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! One of the biggest perks of being a referral agent is the flexibility to work on your own terms. You can make referrals while managing another job, caring for family, or even while traveling. It’s not about how many hours you put in—it’s about making meaningful connections.

Myth 5: “Referral agents don’t need to keep up with the real estate market.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! While you’re not handling transactions yourself, staying informed about market trends and changes helps you make better matches for your clients. At Send Realty, we encourage our referral agents to stay up-to-date so they can provide the best possible service when connecting clients with agents.

Myth 6: “It’s hard to build a referral network from scratch.”

• True or False?

  • A) True

  • B) False
    

Answer: False! Building a referral network is all about nurturing your existing connections and making new ones over time.

Plus, at Send Realty, we provide support to help you build a thriving referral practice.
