FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Is a finder's fee different from a referral fee here?

The page framing is different, but the shared payout math is the same when the arrangement is a percent of the sale plus any flat fee.

Why run this before agreeing to terms?

Because a small change in fee rate can materially change what you keep, especially on larger deals.
