What Is ReferralExchange.com?

ReferralExchange.com is an online marketplace that finds and connects the home consumer to real estate professionals who match the home buyer’s or seller’s needs and compete for the home buyer’s or seller’s business. Our services are provided free of charge to individual home sellers and buyers. When home buyers or sellers submit a request to find an agent to help buy or sell their home, we use home buyer and seller preferences, choices, and interests as well as real estate professional qualifications to match home buyers and sellers with the right agent who will best serve the individual home buyer or seller’s needs in any desired location throughout the nation. ReferralExchange.com does not broker transactions. We are paid by matching home buyer and sellers with service professionals. The terms of any agreement between our participating lenders and real estate professionals and the home buyer or seller are not endorsed, recommended or otherwise known to or by ReferralExchange.com. We also offer certain services to real estate professionals, subject to the acceptance of the Agent Terms of Use. Our services offered to real estate professionals together with the services offered to home buyers and sellers are the “Services”.
