Abstract:

A method for managing real estate brokerage referrals in which the referrals are made by a broker for residential real estate. A geographically categorized real estate list is created and reviewed by a potential tenant. From this list the potential tenant makes a selection of a desired apartment complex. An individual referral fee agreement is generated which is specific to the potential tenant and to the specific desired apartment complex. The agreement that is generated is provided to the potential tenant who delivers the agreement to the agent for the desired apartment complex for acceptance by that agent. A broker computer system stores a database of real estate rental listings and is programmed for generating an online brokerage referral fee agreement specific to the potential tenant and the apartment complex when the potential tenant makes a selection of a specific complex from a database. The generated agreement is processed for transfer to a potential tenant computer data processor which provides the brokerage referral fee agreement to the tenant for presentation to the agent for the apartment complex for acceptance.
