Thank you for your interest in the Share Hope Real Estate Network. We are a network of Real Estate who are giving back to our communities in a big way. For us this means we help 501C(3) organizations, primarily Christian ministries and churches. When you join Share Hope Real Estate, you agree to provide outstanding service to our mutual clients. We share the referral fee with the nonprofit of the client's choosing. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions of their lives and we want you to be passionate about the people we serve and give them the best you have to offer.
Share Hope Real Estate is about giving back. We do require agents to provide current licensing proof and a history of their real estate transactions and ask for personal statements as well. Agents can take advantage of two ways to obtain membership: (1) an annual membership charged at $25.00 per active year; or (2) a lifetime membership charged $99.00. Our primary revenue source is through a referral fee paid by you, the realtor (broker), when our mutual clients close on their homes, whether as buyers, sellers, or both. We retain the sole right to refer whomever we believe will be the best fit for the client; however, anyone currently legally licensed will be included in our database. While we ask for transaction history, no one will be excluded because of the lack of transactions. Sometimes people with the least experience are motivated to provide the best service to our clients.
Upon closing of the referral, we collect a 27% referral fee (gross commission before broker splits, on your side of the transaction). Of that 27%, 15% is paid to the 501 (C)3 chosen by the client. 12% is retained by Share Hope Real Estate. We do ask that you update us periodically on your progress with each client. We keep track of each referral and you should expect to hear from us regularly asking for status updates on each referral. We appreciate your help in staying up to date.
Our primary mission is to support Christian ministries so we do ask whether or not you are a Christian and what church you attend. We ask this for the purpose of matching agents with clients. We do everything we can to honor requests by customers and if a customer asks us to refer them to a Christian agent, or specifies they want to work with an agent that attends a particular church, we do our best to fulfill those requests. However, please note that if you are not a Christian, you still have a legal right to be a part of this network. You will not be denied referrals or any benefits that may come with being included in our agent database. We have no intention of discriminating against anyone in this way and will honor any real estate agent’s request for inclusion in the database. We do comply with all Fair Housing Laws.
