When is the referral fee due?
The official referral FAQ charges a 30% seller referral fee at successful closing and applies referral fees to additional transactions that close within its 24-month referral period.
Read the official payment termsHow the referral program works
- 01
Use the Realtor.com enrollment page linked from UpNest and confirm available program options.

- 03
Contact selected prospects, update the pipeline, and pay fees according to the agreement covering the referral.
Fees and payment terms
The FAQ published November 1, 2022 states 30% of the referred-side commission before broker split. Confirm the current agreement; additional client transactions within 24 months can also trigger a fee.
Upfront and other costs
The current signup promotes Listing Toolkit separately but does not publish its price. Confirm any separate subscription costs; do not label all UpNest products as free.
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
Matching considers service areas, availability, local experience, reviews, and transactions. The published FAQ warns that agents with fewer than three years may not receive invitations.
May be a good fit for
Agents comfortable competing through clear proposals and differentiated listing services.
One detail to pay attention to
The 30% FAQ is dated November 2022. Current enrollment involves Realtor.com; don't assume that an older no-upfront-cost description covers every offered product.
