How It Works
Three steps. No paperwork until they sign.
01
Send Nicholas the introduction
Email Nicholas at nicholas.clinton@hedgestone.com with the name and contact info of the business owner you're referring. Include a quick note on why you think they're a fit. That's the entire ask of you.
02
Nicholas takes it from there
He reaches out, has a discovery conversation, and determines whether the business is a fit for his current listing inventory. He keeps you informed at each stage so you know where things stand.
03
$500 lands in your account when the listing agreement is signed
Once the referred business signs a listing agreement with Nicholas, you receive $500 for the introduction. Paid via your preferred method within 30 days of signing.
Who to Refer
The right kind of business owner.
