How our referral model works — and how we get paid
Conservative Move is a licensed real estate referral brokerage. We do not list your home or write your offer. We match you with a vetted local agent who is separately licensed in the state where you are buying or selling, and that agent represents you.
A few things that follow from that, stated plainly:
You are never invoiced by us. Our fee is paid by the receiving agent's brokerage out of the commission at closing. If your move never closes, no referral fee is ever earned.
Your agent works for you, not for us. Representation is established directly between you and that agent's brokerage under their own written agreement, governed by the license laws of your state.
You are free to choose. An introduction is not a commitment. You may interview the agent we suggest, ask for a different one, or bring your own agent on either side of the move.
