For Real Estate Agents
Refer a client. Earn recurring commission every month for 5 years. A binding non-compete in your contract means we'll never call your client about their next sale, not once, not ever.
The Math
Most PM referral programs pay a one-time finder's fee. We pay monthly, for 5 years.
Have a larger portfolio? A 30-unit HOA paying $650/mo dues earns you $3,194 over 5 years at our 3.9% HOA rate.
Not a policy. Not a verbal promise. A legally binding clause in every referral partner agreement, with no carve-outs, no expiration, and no exceptions.
We will never take a listing, represent a buyer, or facilitate any real estate transaction involving your referred client's property. We are not a brokerage. We never will be.
We contact your client only about the management of their rental property, maintenance, tenants, payments, renewals. No investment pitches. No "thinking about selling?" emails. Full stop.
When your client is ready to sell, we'll hand you the complete rent roll, NOI history, and tenant documentation your buyer's due diligence needs. Then we step aside. That commission belongs to you.
Most PM companies are also brokerages, and they will list your client's home the moment they can. We structurally can't, because we don't have a brokerage license and we never will.

We built the program to compound because a one-time finder's fee isn't a partnership, it's a transaction. We want agents who refer their best clients, and that takes real incentive.
The Real Difference
Place the tenant, collect your full leasing fee. We pick up management from there. If you want to keep doing every renewal placement too, we coordinate around you, no conflict, no competition.
Refer your most valuable clients with confidence. We make them happier with their investment, which makes you look good. When they call about their next purchase, or finally decide to sell, that call goes to you, not us.
NGC does not hold a sales broker license. We don't have a sales department. The structural conflict that ruins most PM/brokerage hybrids simply doesn't exist here, because we're structurally incapable of competing with you.
NextGen Properties has been managing California real estate since 2005. 800+ residential units. 97% occupancy. Owners get paid in 1-2 days. Your referral reflects well on you.

Common Questions
Three layers. (1) Signing bonus: 5% of the first year's annualized management fee, paid at onboarding. (2) First 12 months: 10% of every monthly management fee NGC collects, paid to you monthly via ACH. (3) Months 13–60: 5% of every monthly management fee, paid monthly for 4 more years. Total payout on a $100K/year rental is approximately $2,500 over 5 years. On a $500K/year luxury rental, approximately $12,450.
You're paid as long as we manage the property. If your client moves to another manager, payments stop. If they sell, congratulations, that's your sales commission, and the management referral simply ends. No clawbacks, no holdback period, no surprises.
Never. We are not a brokerage. We don't list properties for sale, don't take buyer-side sales, and don't employ sales agents. Property management is our entire business. When your client is ready to sell, that's your deal, and we'll happily provide the rent roll, NOI history, and tenant information your buyer's due diligence will need.
You keep it. If you placed the tenant, you collected your full leasing commission from your client. We pick up management from there. We don't require you to bundle the leasing fee into the referral.
Every referral partner gets a private agent portal showing each referred property, the management agreement status, the current rent roll, and the running commission accrual + payout history. PDF statement emailed monthly. 1099 issued in January.
Any residential property we manage: single-family rentals, small multifamily (2–50 units), HOAs, and luxury estates. The referral program applies regardless of property type or fee tier, the 5%/10%/5% structure scales with whatever fee NGC charges that property.
No. Just send the lead via the agent portal or through our contact form with their name and property address. We'll do the discovery call, run a free rent analysis, and only earn (and only pay you) if they sign. No pressure on the prospect, no awkward sales pitch from us.
Average 11 days from referral to signed management agreement, then your signing bonus is paid the following Friday. First monthly commission typically lands 30–45 days after signing (after the first month of management fee is collected).
None. No annual fee, no minimum referral volume, no exclusivity, no contract length. You can refer one property over a career or twenty in a year, same terms. The program exists because we'd rather pay agents who already have client relationships than spend the same dollars on Google Ads.
Use the form on this page or call us. We'll send the partner agreement (one page, plain English), set up your agent portal, and you're live within 48 hours.
