Dewilio Homes · Agent Referral Agreement
Referral Agreement
Version 1.0 · This is the full text, unabridged.
01PARTIES AND PURPOSE
This Referral Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Dewilio Homes ("Dewilio") and the licensed real estate agent identified at activation ("Agent"). Dewilio refers prospective buyer and seller opportunities ("Referred Clients") to Agent. Agent is an independent contractor and is not an employee, partner or agent of Dewilio.
02ACTIVATION FEE
Agent pays a one-time account activation fee of $1 (USD). The activation fee is a one-time charge, not a subscription, and is non-refundable. Dewilio charges no monthly software fee and no upfront lead-package fee.
03NO GUARANTEE OF LEADS
Dewilio does not guarantee any minimum number, quality, frequency or exclusivity of Referred Clients. Matching depends on market coverage, Agent capacity, licensing status and other factors described in the program materials.
04REFERRAL FEE
If a transaction with a Referred Client closes, Agent (or Agent's brokerage) shall pay Dewilio a referral fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the gross commission actually received by Agent's brokerage on that transaction. The referral fee is earned only upon a successful closing. No referral fee is owed on transactions that do not close.
05PAYMENT AND BROKERAGE COMPLIANCE
Agent acknowledges that in most U.S. states referral fees must be paid broker-to-broker. Agent shall ensure their sponsoring broker approves and processes the referral fee in compliance with applicable state real estate law, RESPA, and brokerage policy. Payment is due within thirty (30) days of closing unless otherwise agreed in writing.
06AGENT OBLIGATIONS
Agent shall: (a) maintain an active real estate license in good standing; (b) respond to each Referred Client within the response window shown in the Agent dashboard; (c) update lead, appointment and transaction status accurately; and (d) comply with all applicable fair housing, advertising, licensing and consumer-protection laws.
07DISCLOSURE
Agent shall disclose the referral relationship to the Referred Client and to Agent's broker where required by law or brokerage policy.
08TERM AND TERMINATION
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time on written notice. Referral fees remain payable on any Referred Client transaction that closes within one hundred eighty (180) days after termination.
09LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Dewilio provides referrals "as is." Dewilio is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Dewilio's total liability shall not exceed the activation fee paid.
10NOT LEGAL ADVICE
This Agreement is a program document and does not constitute legal or regulatory advice. Referral fee arrangements are subject to state law, brokerage policy and regulatory review. Agent should confirm the arrangement with their broker and counsel before participating.
How acceptance is recorded
There is nothing to sign by hand. When you activate your account you tick a box confirming you have reviewed and accept these terms, and Dewilio stores that acceptance against your account with the version number above, the timestamp, your brokerage and the payment reference for the $1.00 activation fee. The agreement is then bound to every account you activate, so you always have the exact version you agreed to.
Because referral fees are usually paid broker-to-broker, most agents send this page to their broker for written approval before working any referred lead.
