A customizable referral agreement for real estate photographers and proptech professionals to formalize fee structures, payment triggers, and terms with referring partners.
Last updated
The Referral Agreement is a customizable contract template designed for real estate photographers, 3D tour creators, and proptech professionals who want to formalize compensation arrangements with referring partners. It defines the parties involved, establishes a flat-fee or percentage-based fee structure, sets a clear payment trigger, and governs the referral coverage period, exclusivity terms, submission process, and post-termination carve-outs in a single binding document.
The Referral Agreement is appropriate whenever a real estate photographer or visual-media business begins receiving client leads from a recurring source — such as a real estate agent, brokerage, fellow photographer, or proptech partner — and wants to formalize the compensation arrangement before the first referral is submitted. It is also the right document to use when converting an informal, handshake referral relationship into a written agreement with defined fee triggers and coverage periods.

This agreement is entered into between your photography or visual-media business (**Service Provider**) and a **Referring Party** — whether that's a real estate agent, brokerage, fellow photographer, or proptech service partner. It sets out exactly how referrals are submitted, tracked, and compensated.

Choose the model that fits your relationship:
Only one structure applies, selected at signing. The default fallback is the flat fee if no option is initialed.
---
You control when the fee actually becomes payable. Pick from three clearly defined trigger events:
Payment must then be made within the agreed number of calendar days via your chosen method (ACH, PayPal, check, etc.).
---
Every referred client is "covered" for a set number of months from their first booking. Any repeat or follow-on work booked within that window continues to generate a referral fee — protecting the Referring Party's long-term interest without requiring a new referral submission each time.
---
Agree to an **exclusive** or **non-exclusive** arrangement, with scope clearly defined if exclusive. All referrals must be submitted in writing before first client contact, and you commit to acknowledging each submission within a set number of business days — keeping the process clean and dispute-free.
---
The agreement runs for an initial term you define, with either party free to exit on written notice. A clean **post-termination carve-out** ensures fees are still paid for any client whose booking was confirmed before the termination date.
