Refer the rental. Keep the client. Get paid.
Hand your client to a management team you trust and earn a real referral fee for every door. Your client stays yours — and so does the future sale.
No cold handoffs, no radio silence. Every referral gets a dedicated point of contact who reaches out to your client within one business day, keeps you looped in on where things stand, and never solicits them for anything beyond property management. You focus on closing deals — we'll handle the leasing, maintenance, and tenant headaches.

What could a year of referrals pay you?
Most realtors run into a handful of accidental landlords every year. Here is what those conversations are worth.
Three steps. That is the whole program.
Send the referral
Fill out our two minute referral form with your client's info. We send you a written referral agreement that documents your fee and your claim on the future sale.
We take it from there
We reach out to your client, walk them through our full service management program, and keep you in the loop. No pressure tactics — just a clear explanation of how we work.
You get paid
Your referral fee is paid within 60 days of your client signing a management agreement. When they are ready to sell or buy, the deal goes back to you.
Your name is on this referral. We treat it that way.
The future sale stays yours
Our written referral agreement documents that when your client sells or buys, they go back to you. We manage properties. We do not compete for your commissions.
Liability off your plate
Managing a rental for a client, even informally, exposes you and your brokerage to fair housing and habitability risk. Referring it to a licensed manager removes that exposure.
Service that reflects well on you
Local team, transparent pricing, no junk fees, and a 12 month tenant guarantee. Your client gets the Zeal standard: no fluff, no corners cut, just good property management.
Everything in writing
Referral fee, sale protection, and program terms are all documented up front. You will never have to chase us down or rely on a handshake.
Common questions from realtors
How much do I earn per referral?
$500 for each single family home or townhome, $250 for a condo, apartment, or multifamily property plus $100 for each additional unit in the same property, and $150 for lease only referrals. A duplex pays $350, a triplex $450, and a fourplex $550.
When do I get paid?
Full management referrals are paid within 60 days after your client signs a property management agreement with Zeal. Lease only referrals are paid once the lease is signed.
Will Zeal try to take my client or the listing?
No. We are a property management company, not a sales brokerage competitor. Our written referral agreement documents that the future sale or purchase goes back to you.
Do I need to be a licensed realtor?
Yes. Referral fees are paid to active licensed Colorado real estate realtors in accordance with Colorado license law, with a written referral agreement for every referral.
What areas do you cover?
We manage single family and small multifamily properties along the Front Range from south Denver up to Johnstown. That includes the Denver metro, Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, Broomfield, Longmont, and Westminster.
