Is your real question: would you ask for a referral fee on a property priced way beneath the typical price point in your area?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on how invested I may have been in research and due diligence prior to making the referral, and how much work I think the agent referred to is in for. A lot of times, it's  a 'give, just take care of the client please'.

Yes, if the agent is one of my regular referral associates. 

That's just a normal sale here. Sure, why not?

Why not?

It depends; but probably yes.

I don't see why not. They wouldn't have the listing if not for you.

Jeff of course. But I don't on rentals.....just hand them to somebody good.

What Anthony Acosta - ALLATLANTACONDOS.COM said.  

I ask for a referral fee on all sales, but never on rentals.

We use a sliding scale based on price. Often $100,000 types are more work that the more expensive ones.

Yes. A referral is a referral and you could at least earn enough to pay your dues for the year.

Sure

Sometimes yes and sometimes no! Life is more than about money!

Well, of course.

Yes. It all depends on the marketplace, there are still plenty of areas where you can buy real estate for a 100k. I've paid many referrals on that amount and sometimes even less. Maybe not a whole lot but nevertheless. 

Others have from us, so , I would have to think long and hard on that one.

Typically, I would but there are situations where I can see where that would not be the case.   I guess "it depends".   

Interesting question because I've had some agents "refer" someone for one of my lower priced listings and made a point of not asking for a referral fee. NONE of them ever bought, and I saw quickly why they just washed their hands off these "buyers".

It depends.  If the property is going to be difficult - then no.  If it is a slam dunk and only needs a sign and mls, I will usually ask for something but not the whole enchilada.

Of course and why not? I am referred quite a lot of buyers who are looking for affordable condos here in NH and many are under 100k. I pay a referral to all and happily to have them think of me

  Yes.

That is a common price point around here.

I would not. 

However, I do experience that others expect a fee when they send something my way.

I do not ask on because the compensation is so little for the agent involved that I want them to remain motivated, well as much motivation as a thousand dollars can create.

However, I do leverage this extended 'generosity' as a cause to stay in touch. Everyone, everywhere knows folks going to Florida.

Of course if it's a listing or sale.  Some markets that's a normal price, or so I've heard.  A referral is a referral, unless it's a lease client, I would not.  But then again, I'd never refer a lease and would advise the client to find an agent in the agree than works with tenants.  I don't.

I rarely send out anything that low but, I sure do ask for a referral fee - just a much smaller one than normal. 

Yes

You bet, a penny is a penny

We do. 

Yes

You bet.

Jeff Pearl Yes, a referral is a business transaction between two brokers. Real estate is a business. Let's keep it that way.

No not really. Or maybe a lesser one than normal.

 A virtual Hug....

I have given many a referral to agents under this amount, and never asked for a referral fee.

I have given one so I would ask for one.

Business is business.  Of course the fee amount would likely be a bit less!

yes, the dollar amount of the sale has nothing to do with a referral being sent but the amount offered for the referral certainly does. the person receiving the referral can decide whether to accept it or not.

Probably, unless there were some extenuating circumstances.

Yes, why not?

Jeff Pearl - I believe so. 

Referral fees on resales but never rentals.

The only thing I won't ask for a referral fee on is a referral of a rental listing or tenant.  All else, absolutely.

I will....

Yes but not under $50,000.

Sure, that may be just the first of many deals

Of course I would...

Absolutely.. there is no minimum, or maximum on the price of a sale... a referral is a referral...

Yes.  Why not?  The only exception in my mind is if I were referring to a great agent that said ... I can't do that and pay a referral fee. Then I would reconsider. I understand that we are in in a for profit business. 

Sure.  We don't have any of those out here... and haven't for 60 years... but why not?

Yes

A referral fee is a referral fee - might feed the cat!

Sure why not. I never do on rentals, though

Depends...not everything we do should be based on money outcomes

yes ,but probably a smaller %

Depends on what i did.
