Referral fees explained
How the Sell Well Texas Group referral fee is calculated, which agreement covers it, and how it is paid at closing. Share it with your broker.
Updated October 2026
The short version
- 25% of your side’s commission for a qualified hand-off.
- 35% when we booked an appointment with the seller that took place.
- Paid broker to broker: your broker pays R2 Realty LLC, at closing.
- No fee if the referred transaction doesn’t close.
- No monthly fee during the pilot.
Why broker to broker
Under the Texas Real Estate License Act, a sales agent can be paid only by their sponsoring broker, and brokers may share fees only with other licensed brokers. So the agreement is between your broker and R2 Realty LLC, and the money moves between brokerages, never between agents.
The agreements
- Referral Agreement Between Brokers (TXR 2405), the Texas REALTORS® form, signed by your broker and R2 Realty LLC. It names the referral and the fee.
- Network program agreement, signed by R2 Realty LLC, your broker and you. It covers service levels, lead replacements, status updates, use of seller data, the term and what happens if you change brokerages.
How the fee is calculated
The fee is a percentage of your side’s gross commission on the referred transaction, before your broker’s split with you.
| Your side’s commission | Hand-off (25%) | Appointment (35%) |
|---|---|---|
| C | 0.25 × C | 0.35 × C |
Your broker’s own split with you then applies to what remains, as your brokerage policy says.
Getting it paid at closing
- When the referred seller goes under contract, tell us the title company and expected closing date in the app.
- Your broker adds the referral fee to the commission disbursement instructions for R2 Realty LLC.
- The title company shows it on the settlement statement and pays it at closing.
- Upload the final settlement statement in the app. R2 confirms receipt.
If something changes
- The seller lists with you later: the fee applies if the transaction falls within the agreement’s term.
- You change brokerages: referrals you already received stay with the broker you had when you received them. New leads pause until your new broker signs.
- A dispute about whether a deal is a referral: the app’s record of the offer, claim and contacts is the starting point.
