— The CA→AZ Opportunity

Your California clients are moving to Arizona. Are you earning on that?

↑ #1

California is the #1 state of origin for Arizona relocatees. The CA→AZ migration corridor is the most active relocation pipeline in the American West.

$900K–$3.5M

Typical Arizona luxury purchase price for California relocatees — the same clients buying $3M–$15M in California. Large commissions, cleaner transactions.

25%

Your referral fee, paid at close on the gross Arizona commission. On a $1.2M Scottsdale home at 2.5%, that's a $7,500 check to your brokerage for a warm introduction.

0

Times we will contact your client about anything in California. Zero. Your California relationship is yours. Permanently. In writing.

— Our Non-Solicitation Pledge

Your client. Your relationship. Always.

We know the biggest concern when referring a client is losing them. We've built our referral practice around one principle: the California relationship belongs to the referring agent, full stop. Here's exactly what we commit to — in writing, in every referral agreement.

✓

What We Do

  • Handle the Arizona transaction completely
  • Keep you informed at every milestone
  • Provide a professional, licensed Arizona representation your client will brag about
  • Pay your 25% referral fee directly to your brokerage at close
  • Answer any questions you or your client have about Arizona real estate, tax advantages, or relocation
  • Provide property management for the Arizona property post-close if needed
✕

What We Never Do

  • Contact your client about any California property or transaction
  • Solicit your client for any California listing
  • Refer your client to another California agent or brokerage
  • Share your client's contact information with any third party
  • Attempt to become their go-to agent for future California business
  • Work outside the specific Arizona scope you refer
⚖

This is binding language — not a handshake.

Our referral agreement includes explicit non-solicitation language covering California business for the life of the client relationship. If you have a specific clause your brokerage requires, we'll accommodate it. We have done this before and we take it seriously.

— Agent FAQ

Questions we hear from California agents.

How exactly does the non-solicitation work?

Every referral agreement we sign includes explicit non-solicitation language: we will not contact your client regarding any California property, California transaction, or any real estate service outside of the specific Arizona matter you've referred. This covers the client, their household members, and any entity they own. The restriction has no sunset — it applies for the life of the client relationship. If you have specific language from your brokerage's legal team, we'll incorporate it.

What is the referral fee and how is it paid?

We pay 25% of the gross commission earned on the Arizona transaction, paid to your brokerage at close through escrow or via check — whichever your brokerage prefers. On a $1.2M home at a 2.5% gross commission, that's $7,500 to your brokerage for a phone introduction and a signed referral agreement. Portfolio referrals (clients with multiple Arizona transactions) are discussed case by case.

Are you licensed to accept referrals from California agents?

Yes. We hold California DRE License # 01786835 in addition to our Arizona LLC License # LC722056000. Referral fee arrangements between licensed real estate brokers are fully compliant under both California and Arizona law when documented with a written referral agreement.

Do you handle investment and 1031 exchange referrals?

Yes — this is one of our strongest areas. Many California agents refer clients who are doing a 1031 exchange from a California sale into Arizona. We know the Arizona investment markets at ground level, understand the exchange timeline requirements, and work closely with qualified intermediaries. A 1031 referral typically generates a larger commission (investment properties trend toward higher price points) and the same 25% applies.

Will you keep me updated throughout the transaction?

Yes. We send you a milestone update at each key stage: initial client contact confirmed, first property tours scheduled, offer submitted, under contract, inspection complete, and closed. You'll know what's happening with your client without having to chase us. If anything significant changes mid-transaction, we call you directly.

My brokerage has its own referral agreement template. Will you use it?

Usually yes. We've worked with referral agreements from Compass, Sotheby's, Berkshire Hathaway, and independent California brokerages. If your template is reasonable, we'll sign it. If it contains anything we need to adjust, we'll tell you clearly and quickly. We won't ghost you on paperwork.

What happens if my client ends up needing property management after they buy?

If you'd like to refer the property management engagement as well, we're happy to structure a referral for that too. If not, we'll manage the property as a separate service relationship with your client. Either way, we will never use the property management relationship to re-engage them on any California business.
