Keep your license activeEarn through your connectionsLeave room for what matters
Simple by design
You make the connection.
We help with the next step.
A referral-only business lets you stay connected to real estate while an agent handles the buying or selling process.
Send us your referral.
Know someone buying or selling? Our owner or designated broker coordinates the referral. Have an agent in mind? We’ll consider your preference first.
Earn when it closes.
The receiving agent serves the client. When the transaction closes and the agreed fee is received, your referral is paid according to your brokerage agreement.

Let’s talk
referral-only.
Here’s what changes—and what you’ll still need to maintain.
Questions? Call Joel: 208-794-2220How much can I earn?
The most typical referral fee is 25% of the receiving agent’s commission. Rates are negotiable, never guaranteed or set by law. Your payment depends on the written referral agreement, the closing, and our agreement with the agent.
Can I keep my license active?
Yes. You affiliate with Hey Agent and maintain the renewal, education, and insurance requirements for an active Idaho license. Your work with Hey Agent is referral-only.
Can I actively sell real estate?
No. Under Hey Agent’s referral-only model, you make introductions through the brokerage rather than represent buyers or sellers. If you want to return to active sales, contact us to discuss transferring to a sales brokerage and restoring any required memberships and services.
Will I still be a REALTOR®?
A real estate license and REALTOR® membership are different. If you discontinue REALTOR® association membership, you cannot use the REALTOR® designation. Hey Agent’s referral-only model is designed to remove those association expenses.
Who can I refer clients to?
Our owner or designated broker coordinates referrals. If you have a preferred agent, that’s our first consideration. If you don’t, we’ll help identify an agent in the client’s area and arrange the referral.
Do I still need education and E&O insurance?
Yes. An active Idaho license still requires applicable continuing education and errors and omissions insurance. Idaho’s standard active renewal requirement is two Commission Core courses plus 12 elective hours; first-time active renewals have specific post-license requirements. REALTOR® ethics education is separate from the state’s Core requirement.
Hey Agent includes E&O coverage where required as part of annual fees and can help you find free education opportunities when available. Contact us to confirm current coverage and course options.
Will I have MLS or SUPRA access?
No. Hey Agent does not provide MLS or SUPRA eKEY access under its referral-only model. You also avoid the associated subscription fees.
Do I still renew my Idaho license?
Yes. Keep your license current with the Idaho Real Estate Commission on the applicable two-year renewal cycle, and meet active-license requirements. You remain responsible for your renewal and required education. Review Idaho’s licensing FAQs.
What does Hey Agent cost?
Contact us for current annual fees, what’s included, and how referral payments are distributed. We’ll help compare those costs with what you’re paying now so you can make an informed decision.
