How your referral commission is paid

1. Settlement Process: Upon closing, the receiving agent or their brokerage will instruct the settlement company to send the commission payment directly to General Referral, LLC, as per NJ licensing law. All commissions are issued to the brokerage, which then disburses funds to agents.

   • If the receiving agent requires a Form W9 to disburse the funds, please send this W9 and copy us when you email it at support@generalreferral.com.
   • As the referral agent, you are responsible for ensuring the funds are properly sent to General Referral.
   • Tip: If you are concerned that your referral partner has not sent the referral fee in a timely manner, we recommend that you email them and ask for the date the payment was sent and the location it was sent to.

2. Payment Details:

   • Make checks payable to: General Referral, LLC
   • Mailing Address: General Referral, LLC 500 Paterson Plank Rd STE 31026 Union City, NJ 07087

3. Proof and Disbursement:

   • Once General Referral receives the funds, we'll email you with confirmation.
   • Complete the Commission Disbursement Form online at app.generalreferral.com/members. You must submit a copy of the fully executed General Referral – Referral Agreement with your disbursement form. We do not accept third party agreements.
   • Submit your banking details through our payroll provider for direct deposit. Note: This setup is required only for your first referral.

4. Direct Deposit Timeline: After funds are verified, direct deposit takes about four business days, plus any holidays, to appear in your bank account.

Tip: Set up your payroll account with us after your first referral to streamline future payments.

N.B.: Your disbursement form is a request to be paid. If you have not been notified that your commission check has arrived at the office, do not submit a disbursement request. If you do send a disbursement request before your commission arrives, you will need to resubmit the form.
