2. Avoiding Conflicts of Interest

Referral brokerages like Patriot Trust Realty Associates operate as neutral intermediaries. Employing in-house buyer or listing agents could create a conflict of interest, as it may appear that we are competing with the same brokers and agents we are referring clients to. To maintain trust and transparency:

• We stay completely impartial in connecting clients with external brokers.

• Our focus remains on supporting our network of referral agents and receiving brokers rather than participating directly in transactions.

3. Empowering Our Agent Network

By not employing in-house agents, Patriot Trust Realty Associates strengthens the opportunities for licensed referral agents and receiving brokers. This approach allows us to:

• Support the earning potential of referral agents who trust us to connect their clients with capable receiving brokers.

• Build relationships with brokers who know we are solely focused on referrals, not competition.

4. Aligning with the Referral Brokerage Business Model

The hallmark of a referral brokerage is its unique business model, which emphasizes connecting, not selling. Patriot Trust Realty Associates is a brokerage designed to:

• Handle the referral process and associated agreements.

• Ensure that clients are matched with highly qualified, professionally licensed brokers or agents for the actual transaction.

• Serve as a reliable partner to both referral agents and receiving brokers by staying outside the transactional process itself.

This specialization keeps operations efficient, compliant, and focused on maximizing value for all parties.

5. Commitment to Excellence Through Collaboration

By choosing not to employ in-house buyer or listing agents, we strengthen our partnerships with both referral agents and receiving brokers. This collaborative approach ensures:

• Clients receive the best service possible from brokers who are experts in their local markets.

• Referral agents can trust that we are dedicated to helping them earn industry leading commissions without additional competition or involvement in direct transactions.

At Patriot Trust Realty Associates, we are proud of our focused and intentional role as a referral brokerage. Our structure allows us to maintain trust, foster collaboration, and deliver value to referral agents, receiving brokers, and clients alike.
