FAQs: Compensation, Fees, and Referrals

This FAQ explains how you get paid at Relive, what fees apply, and how referrals work.

Apartment locating is 100% commission-based. You earn a commission by referring clients to apartment properties that pay locators.

Your commission is guaranteed once your client's lease application is approved and they move in.

Once the client moves in, Relive's collections team takes over the invoice process — you don't need to chase payments.

Relive does not charge any monthly fees — there are no desk fees or software fees. The only fees that apply are transaction fees, and those only kick in after you have hit your $15,000 quarterly GCI cap and are earning 100% commission.

Before hitting your cap, you work under a simple 70/30 commission split with no additional fees.

This makes Relive a cost-effective option whether you are actively closing deals or simply looking for a brokerage to keep your license active.

How you refer depends on the type of deal. For apartment locating referrals you refer the lead directly through Relive’s App. For residential referrals you complete the Agent Referral Agreement and follow the residential referral process.

You can refer leads internally to another Relive agent, or externally to agents outside our brokerage.

Referral income is treated as standard commission income under Relive's compensation model, meaning it counts toward your quarterly GCI cap and follows the same 70/30 split pre-cap, and 100% post-cap with no referral transaction fee.
