A Referral-Based Program

The Agent SHOULD NEVER DISCUSS referral fee / split amounts with the

customer. This is a confidential business agreement between the real estate company and the “A” team Agent.

A Referral-Based ProgramQ: How should Agent respond if the member asks how much the referral fee is?

A: The appropriate response is:“The referral fee amount is based upon a contractual arrangement between my broker and (insert the client program name). Referral fees are very common in the real estate industry and will not affect your ability to successfully buy/sell your home or the service you will receive from me and my firm.”

Q: Can a real estate firm charge ancillary fees, administration or processing fees of any kind on a Cartus customer’s transaction?

A: No. As an additional benefit to the customer, charging these types of fees to the customer is contractually prohibited.

Always use Agent Help Desk (client specific)

Utilize the specific mortgage forms when needed‒ Contract Cover Sheet – USAA‒ Updated Price Quote - USAA‒ Reconsideration of Value Form - USAA‒ Mortgage Acknowledgement Form – HES & USAA

Why Activity Reporting?

Remember…..The Coordinator generated the lead and sold your

services, so not only is it critical to keep the Coordinator up to date as to the progress of the referral but it is also

out of courtesy for their efforts.

USAA Email Surveys – Key Points

Member “may” receive a survey Due to spam issues

There is no survey example to show member as in the past Remind member to update their contact information on usaa.com including

their email address within 2 weeks of closing Especially on military emails

Members will receive the survey 17 days after closing Members who drop from the program will receive the survey 5 days after their

file is closed There is no ability to re-send the survey What if member states one of the following: 1) I haven’t received the survey?

2) I accidently deleted the survey?

1) Ask the member if they informed USAA of their new email address within 2 weeks of closing. 2) Unfortunately, USAA cannot re-trigger MAP email surveys. Members are always welcome to contact usaa.com to provide feedback

Service Evaluation Process

Q: When is the service evaluation completed and by whom?

A: The customer has the opportunity to provide feedback on Homefinding/Listing Services separately. The USAA service evaluation is emailed to the member approximately 17 days after closing. Surveys for HES are emailed 1 week later.

Q: How does the team (REC and Agent) get the customer to rate the program as Excellent?

A: The team can achieve an Excellent rating through pro-active and consistent communication with the customer along with coordination and feedback between the REC, the Relocation Department, and the Agent.

Service Evaluation

Q: Can the Agent or Relocation Department contact the customer after closing, if the customer provided less than favorable comments or rating on the service evaluation?

A: No. All evaluations and their comments are considered confidential. Failure to keep this confidential will cause removal of either the Agent from the “A” Team or prohibit the firm from receiving future Affinity client referrals.

Agent Generated Referrals

Q: What is the definition of an Agent Generated Referral?

A: An Agent Generated Referral is a lead generated in your local marketplace that does not have another real estate firm or benefits program attached to it as the referring source. The customer must be a member of any one of the Cartus Affinity organizations / associations, such as USAA and Navy Federal Credit Union.

Q: How do you recognize a potential AGR?

A: Ask the simple questions when first meeting with a client. “Are you part of any organization that offers you a real estate benefit?” “Have you or any member of your family served in the military? Are you part of any military organization that offers a real estate benefit?” If they say yes, you have an AGR! Another key question is- Where you planning to secure financing? Or – you are doing a competitive listing presentation and upon touring the home, you notice military memorabilia. Consider mentioning your association with one of the military affinity programs and secure the listing!

Agent Generated Referrals

Q: How do you submit an AGR?

A: First, instruct the customer NOT to call the program such as USAA or Navy directly to register. Explain to them that someone from the program will be contacting them.

In order to submit an AGR, you will need all customer contact informationAffinity Program Customer NameAddressAll contact informationBest time of day to reach themMember Number – this is mandatory for all USAA referrals

Your Relocation Department will submit your customer to Cartus for enrollment into the Affinity Program.

Social Media Guidelines

A reminder to all Agents that social networking comments are public domain and can be a poor reflection on your organization.

Ensure that all affinity customers and Cartus employees are removed from your personal distribution lists.

Don’t send [email protected] an invitation to join Facebook or LinkedIn.
