Assignment of Referrals
Referrals are assigned based on the following criteria:
• Relocation Department will conduct a needs assessment with the incoming or outgoing transferee. • Principal Broker will be contacted first to assign the agent. Principal Brokers may not personally take the referral unless requested. • Requested - if a particular sales associate is requested, that sales associate will be assigned and Principal Broker will be notified. • Principal Broker will tell the Relocation Department who the best fit is for the transferee. Relocation Department may NOT directly assign a transferee. Relocation Department must make contact with the Principal Broker by phone, text and email. • Principal Broker approval for each referral assignment. • In order to protect an existing relationship that the sales associate has with a client, all out-of-town clients or past clients with relocation benefits should be registered with the Relocation Department. This will prevent the Relocation Department from making dual assignments. Registered clients / requested agents are subject to the same 45% referral fee along with the same procedural requirements to meet third party and corporate client’s needs. • The Relocation Department will reassign the referral in the event the agent leaves Parks.
