When is the referral fee due?
HomeLight states that agents have no upfront costs and pay the broker-to-broker fee only once the deal closes.
Read the official payment termsHow the referral program works
- 01
Create your agent profile, add past transactions, and review the referral agreement.
- 02
HomeLight matches customer needs with an agent's local record and sends referral opportunities.
- 03
Respond, serve the client, keep their status current, and pay the agreed referral fee at closing.
Fees and payment terms
A broker-to-broker referral fee is due on closing; the public enrollment page does not disclose a universal percentage.
Upfront and other costs
No upfront cost for the referral program.
Use the current written agreement to confirm the fee base, when payment is due, and which future transactions are covered.
Who this program is for
Performance-based matching. A complete profile, documented sales history, fast responses, and strong client service matter; joining doesn't guarantee referrals.
May be a good fit for
Established agents who can show relevant local transactions and respond quickly to introductions.
One detail to pay attention to
Read the actual fee agreement. HomeLight's other products have separate terms and shouldn't be confused with its agent-referral program.
