What we hold the agent to
The accountability layer
Four standards, in writing, the same on every referral. Not a service promise — a set of conditions the agent keeps or loses the referral.
Full-time agents only
Real estate has to be the agent's primary income. We do not screen on closing counts — a low-volume full-time agent beats a high-volume part-timer on responsiveness.
If it slips: the referral moves to another agent in the area. Coverage is not exclusive.
Contact within 4 hours
The agent calls you within 4 hours of receiving the referral, same business day. Not a text blast, not an automated drip — a call from the person who will handle the file.
If it slips: tell us. We reassign, and we tell you we did.
30-day listing review
At day 30 the agent sits down with you and reviews their own numbers: showings, feedback, days on market, price position. No spin, no new photos as a substitute for a decision.
If it slips: we run the review ourselves and put the numbers in front of you.
On the file through closing
One person at CloseCenter owns your outcome from the first call to the closing table. You are not handed off to a queue.
If it slips: you have a direct line and a name, not a support inbox.
