On the right side of your dashboard, click the "Create Referral" tab.

You will be guided through each stage of the straightforward process, and there are tooltips on the page to explain each section. Now, it's a one scroll process.

But for your reference, here are the 5 steps!

Step 1: Client Information

Fill in the blanks with the necessary client information.There will also be a section where you can add any additional notes to help set up a successful referral.

Step 2: Referral Destination Market

Choose a referral location. If your client has very specific preferences, you can even draw a map.

Step 3: Referral Visibility - You can choose between:

Invite (invite any number of users in the destination market to apply)Direct (send it to a single colleague without requiring an application process)

Step 4: Client Preference

Make a list of all the property features your client is looking for.

Step 5: Contract and Commission Information
