A Property Management Partner Worth $500 Per Referral
You keep the client. We manage the property. You get paid.
You’ve spent months — sometimes years — building your client relationships. When a client needs to hold their property instead of selling, you need a property management partner you can trust completely. One who takes excellent care of your client, stays in their lane, and hands them right back to you when it’s time to sell.
That’s exactly what we do at 1 Realty Management. And we pay you $500 flat for every client you send our way. No percentages. No complicated calculations. No waiting.
Before We Talk About the Money
Here’s what matters most to Jacksonville realtors who partner with us — backed by a written agreement.
Your Client Stays Yours
We are a property management company, full stop. We do not sell real estate, we have no buyer or seller agents, and we have zero interest in your client’s future transactions. When they’re ready to sell — we call you. Not another agent. You.
Your Relationship Is Protected
We maintain your client relationship, not replace it. We keep you informed, represent your recommendation professionally, and make sure your client is glad you referred them. Every time a client thanks you, that relationship gets stronger.
A Written Agreement That Holds
Every referral partner receives a formal written agreement spelling out exactly how the relationship works — your fee, your payment timeline, and our commitment to return every future sale to you. Nothing is left to a verbal promise.
How It Works — Three Steps
Submit Your Client’s Information
Fill out our referral form with your client’s name, contact details, and property address. Include any notes that would help us serve them well. The more context you give us, the better first impression we make on your behalf.
We Take It From There
Our team contacts your client within one business day, introduces ourselves professionally, and walks them through property management with 1 Realty Management. We provide a free rental analysis, answer their questions, and make the case for professional management.
You Get Paid $500
Once your referred client signs a property management agreement with us, we process your $500 flat referral fee — paid directly to you, no delays. You’re registered as the referring agent in our system, so when your client is ever ready to sell, we reach out to you first.
Why $500 — And Why It Matters
Most referral programs in Jacksonville pay between $250 and $350 per referral. We pay $500 — because we believe a referral from a trusted Jacksonville realtor is genuinely valuable, and we want our fee to reflect that.
More importantly, we want this to be a program you actually use. When the math works in your favor, you think of us first when a client situation comes up. That’s good for you, good for your client, and good for us. A referral program that pays too little is one nobody uses — and we’d rather build real, active partnerships with Jacksonville’s real estate community.
When to Refer a Client to Us
Not every client is ready to sell — and not every client should. Here are the five most common situations where a referral makes sense.
The Client Who Can’t Sell Right Now
Market conditions or timing mean selling now isn’t the right move. Rather than a vacant property, refer them to us. They generate income, you maintain the relationship, and when the market is right — you get the listing.
The Relocating Homeowner
Your client is moving and isn’t ready to part with their Jacksonville home. They need a trusted management partner to handle everything while they’re away. One introduction and the relationship stays intact.
The Investor Building a Portfolio
Your client is serious about building rental income and needs a professional management team as they grow. Every property they add is another referral opportunity — and a client who keeps coming back to you.
The Accidental Landlord
Your client inherited a property or ended up with a home they can’t sell right now. They didn’t plan to be a landlord — they just need someone to handle it professionally while they figure out next steps.
The Military Family
NAS Jacksonville generates a steady stream of homeowners needing to rent their property during a PCS move. These clients come back to the same trusted realtor when they return — grateful for every resource you provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the referral fee and when do I get paid?
We pay a flat fee of $500 for every qualified referral that results in a signed property management agreement. Your fee is processed as soon as the agreement is executed — no waiting for lease cycles or rent collection. $500, paid promptly, every time.
How do I know you’ll actually send the sale back to me?
Because it’s in writing. Every referral partner receives a formal written agreement that explicitly commits us to contacting you first when your referred client expresses interest in selling. We are a property management company — not a real estate brokerage — so we have no financial incentive to hold onto your client’s future transactions.
Do I need to be a licensed Florida real estate agent to participate?
Yes. To receive a referral fee, you must hold an active Florida real estate license. This is a Florida law requirement. If you have questions about eligibility, call us at 904-257-3146 and we’ll walk you through it.
Is there a limit to how many clients I can refer?
No limit at all. Every qualified referral that results in a signed management agreement earns you $500. We have active referral partners who refer multiple clients per year — it’s entirely unlimited.
What happens if my client doesn’t sign a management agreement?
If your referred client does not sign a management agreement with us, no referral fee is owed. We only pay when we’ve earned it. That said, we work hard to convert every referral because we know your recommendation is on the line when you send someone our way.
What types of properties do you manage?
We manage single-family homes, duplexes, multifamily buildings, apartment complexes, and PadSplit rent-by-room housing throughout Jacksonville, Orange Park, and the greater Northeast Florida area. If your client owns it and wants to rent it, we can manage it.
How quickly will you contact my referred client?
We contact every referred client within one business day of receiving the referral form. Your reputation is attached to every referral you make, and we take that responsibility seriously. We reach out promptly and make sure your client’s first impression of us reflects well on you.
Can I refer clients who own property outside of Jacksonville proper?
Yes. We serve property owners throughout the greater Northeast Florida area — including Orange Park and Clay County, the Southside, Northside, Arlington, Mandarin, Riverside, San Marco, Westside, and surrounding communities. If your client’s property is in our service area, we want the referral.
