Investors: Powering Your Success
Everyone in the real estate industry is only one or two steps away from a real estate investor. Whether it is your landlord, your neighbor, or your friend who fixes & flips homes, we interact with investors on a regular basis. Accolend is a direct lender that has been providing pragmatic lending solutions for our clients for over eight years.
While the projects, clients, and circumstances have all varied, we’ve noticed two main similarities between our borrowers.
They work on multiple deals a year, often at the same time
They work with the same team on many deals (including realtors)
The Path to Repeat Clients
The difference between investors and regular homebuyers can be clearly seen in the data. Your average homebuyer buys a house once every thirteen years, while the average investor works on one or two projects per year.
That’s why realtors who have worked with Accolend have found notable success working with investors, as it is a clear path to getting high-quality, repeat business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal for realtors to get paid for referring clients or working as a broker?
Yes, in most states, we believe that it is legal to receive referral fees for commercial, non-QM, non-owner-occupied loans. However, we recommend consulting your attorney to confirm this.
Can I work as a broker and bring referrals as well?
Yes, these are not mutually exclusive programs. You can choose if you want to work as a broker or bring in a referral on a case-by-case basis
I’ve worked hard to build my client base, and I want to ensure they are well taken care of.
We are highly motivated to treat your clients as if they were our own. Our goal is to establish long-term relationships with you, which is only possible if your clients are satisfied.
Does paying referral fees mean additional costs for my clients?
No, there are no extra fees for your clients. We cover referral fees by reducing our own income because we aim to build long-term business relationships.
Referring or brokering loans – which option is better for me?
Which option you choose depends on how much time and effort you would like to dedicate. If you prefer a hands-off approach, minimal effort approach, referrals let you earn passive income without having to invest large amounts of time. Brokering, on the other hand, offers higher earnings but requires more involvement in each deal.
Do clients find out if I get paid for referrals?
No, this information is not public, and we do not disclose it to your clients.
