Refer your investor clients. Keep your sales business.
Most property management referral programs feel like a trade. Send us a client, lose a client. Ours doesn't work that way. When the clients you refer are ready to sell, we send them straight back to you — we don't compete for that sale. In writing, on every contract.
A one-time referral bonus. And the sale, when it comes.
We're property managers. When it comes to the clients you refer, we manage the property and step back from the sale. We don't compete for your buyers, we don't list rentals you've sold, and we don't stay quiet when your referred client mentions selling. The agreement that protects that is in writing on every Asset Locale management contract — and we hand you a copy.
One referral. One-time bonus. Plus the sale, when it comes.
Drag the rent slider. The referral bonus updates live. We pay one full month of management fee on the first month we collect rent. One time, paid in full. The sale-side commission, when your client eventually exits, is on top of this — always yours.
Your Referral
Illustrative numbers. The referral bonus is 100% of the first month's management fee, paid one time when we collect that first month's rent. Sale-side commission assumes you list and close the property whenever your client eventually sells. Actual terms are spelled out in your agent agreement before any referral is made.
Four steps. No paperwork until you're ready.

Get paid on month one
100% of the first month's management fee, paid in full when we collect the first month's rent. Direct deposit, one payout per referral. The sale-side commission is waiting whenever your client decides to exit.
The anti-poaching clause. From every referral agreement.
We've written it the way agents asked us to write it — specific, protective, and impossible to dodge. The clause covers your referrals for the life of the management relationship and continues if your client decides to sell. When that day comes, we refer them straight back to you.

"Asset Locale shall not represent the Owner in any sale of the Referred Property, nor shall Asset Locale solicit listing rights for any property referred under this Agreement. Should the Owner indicate intent to sell, Asset Locale agrees to refer the Owner back to the Referring Agent within five (5) business days, and to provide the Owner with the Referring Agent's current contact information."From the Standard Agent Referral Agreement, May 2026
What we get asked most often.
What if my client wants to buy more property while you're managing one of theirs?
That's your sale. We're property managers, not buyer's agents. If a client we manage for asks us about acquiring another property, we'll refer them straight back to whoever brought them to us — in writing, by email, with your contact info. The same anti-poaching commitment applies in reverse.
How much does the referral bonus work out to in real numbers?
100% of the first month's management fee, paid one time when we collect that first month's rent. On a $5,000/month rental at our 10% Full Service rate, that's $500. On a $10,000/month rental, that's $1,000. The big number is the sale-side commission later: when your client decides to exit, we send them straight back to you to list.
When and how do I get paid?
Direct deposit, one time per referral, on the first month we collect rent. No recurring statements, no ongoing tracking required on your side — you do the intro, we send the bonus, you keep your sale.
What about properties that turn out not to be a fit for you?
We say no to properties that don't fit our model — usually large multi-family, deferred-maintenance situations, or owners who want to be heavily involved in operations. If we pass, we'll tell you why, and we'll often refer the property to a manager we trust who specializes in that segment. You don't lose the relationship, and we don't waste your client's time.
Do I need to introduce you to every client, or can I just send them to your site?
A warm intro converts better and gets your client through onboarding faster. But if you'd rather not make a formal intro, just fill out the referral form below. It captures your name and contact info so the credit gets attributed to you, even without an email intro.
Send us a referral. We take it from there.
Fill this out and it goes straight to Laura. We'll confirm we received it and keep you looped in at every milestone: signed, onboarded, leased. Your sale stays yours.
Coffee first. Paperwork only when you're ready.
