Yes — 30% of gross commission at closing. That's above the industry standard of 25%, and it reflects how seriously I take the referral relationship. The fee is documented in a written agreement executed within 24 hours of our first conversation, before your client hears my voice. It's paid directly through escrow to your broker at closing. No exceptions, no delays.

Two ways. First, I personally reach out to you every week throughout the process — not a mass email, a real check-in. Second, once we're under contract, my transaction coordinator Megan Ackerlund sends a formal written update on a weekly basis detailing every milestone, contingency, and timeline. You will never need to chase me for information — that's on us.

Yes. I operate Judah Realty within Realogics Sotheby's International Realty — the leading Sotheby's affiliate in the Pacific Northwest. For SIR-affiliated agents, the referral handoff is seamless through the established network process. For agents from RE/MAX, Compass, Windermere, Coldwell Banker, Douglas Elliman, or any other brokerage — the process is equally professional and the commitment is identical.

Absolutely — and this is important to me. I want real two-way partnerships, not one-sided transactions. I regularly need trusted referral partners in Arizona (Scottsdale, Phoenix, Peoria), California (San Diego, La Jolla, San Francisco, Monterey, San Jose, Napa), Oregon (Portland, Vancouver), Idaho (Boise, Coeur d'Alene), Montana (Bozeman, Billings), and Texas (San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Houston). If you're in one of these markets, let's talk about building a real partnership.

My focus is the luxury market — generally $800,000 and above. I have deep experience across multiple price points within that range, from $1M Redmond single-family homes to $3M+ Mercer Island waterfront estates. I specialize in tech executive relocations (Microsoft, Amazon), corporate relocation clients, new construction buyers, and waterfront property buyers and sellers.

It's never too early. Send them now — the referral agreement still protects your fee regardless of when they close. Long-timeline clients actually benefit most from early introductions to the market. I'll nurture the relationship, keep you informed on their progress, and when they're ready to move, they'll feel like they already have a trusted advisor on the ground. The earlier, the better for everyone.

Same day if received during business hours — typically within a few hours. If received after hours, by 8am the next morning. Your client's first impression of their new market reflects on you. I treat that first interaction with the same care I'd want for one of my own referred clients.

The quickest way is to call me directly at 425-941-8688. A 10-minute conversation gives me everything I need and lets us make sure we're a good fit before I reach out to your client. You can also fill out the referral form on this page or email me at freddy@judahrealty.com — I respond within the hour during business hours.
