Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost to use this service?

No. Our service is completely free for home buyers and sellers. We earn a referral fee from the referred real estate agent only when a successful transaction closes — you never pay us directly.

Does Real Agent Link directly represent buyers or sellers?

No — Real Agent Link does not act as your agent. Our role is to connect you with the agent who is best suited for your situation, based on your goals, market, and transaction type. Once a match is made, we facilitate a professional introduction and step back so you can work directly with your agent. That said, if you ever have questions or want to check in throughout your real estate journey, we're always happy to help where we can.

How are agents selected for the network?

Every agent in our network is personally vetted and invited based on performance, specialization, and local market knowledge. We don't accept open enrollment.

Will my information be shared with multiple agents?

No. Your information is protected and only shared when you're ready to move forward with a specific agent. You won't be flooded with calls or emails.

How long does the matching process take?

After completing the intake form, you'll typically receive your personalized agent recommendation within 24 hours.

What if I don't like the agent recommended to me?

That's completely fine. There's no obligation to work with the recommended agent. You can request a new recommendation or simply choose not to proceed.

Do you only serve the Minnesota market?

Yes. We focus exclusively on Minnesota because we believe hyper-local expertise leads to better outcomes. We live and operate here with direct knowledge of the market.

How is this different from searching for agents online?

Most online directories simply display a long list of agents and leave the research up to you. Our process is different. We first review your situation, goals, and preferences, then recommend the single best agent whose experience aligns with what you need. Instead of sorting through dozens of profiles, you get one strong candidate hand-picked to be a good fit.

Why do you only recommend one agent?

Too many options can make choosing an agent more difficult. Rather than handing you a list to sort through, we do the work of narrowing the field down to the single best-matched agent for your situation — the one professional we're most confident can guide you successfully.

Do you screen the agents before recommending them?

Yes. We only partner with agents who demonstrate strong experience in the areas they serve. Our goal is to recommend professionals who have the knowledge, communication skills, and track record needed to guide clients successfully through their transaction.

Can I talk to other agents before deciding?

Absolutely. Our recommendation is a starting point, not an obligation. You're always free to speak with other agents and compare communication style, strategy, and experience so you can move forward with whoever you feel most confident working with.

Do I have to work with one of the agents you recommend?

No. Our role is simply to help you identify strong options. You are always free to choose whichever agent you feel is the best fit — or decide not to move forward with any of them.

What information about me is shared with agents?

Your contact information is only shared with the agents you choose to connect with. Until you decide you want to speak with a specific agent, your information remains private.

How do you decide which agent to recommend?

Your responses help us identify important indicators such as location expertise, transaction type, communication preferences, and experience level. Using these factors, we recommend the single agent whose strengths best align with what you're looking for.

Why does choosing the right agent matter so much?

Real estate transactions often involve large financial decisions. The right agent can help with pricing strategy, negotiations, marketing exposure, and navigating complex steps in the process. Many people prefer to compare qualified professionals before committing to one agent.

How do I know the recommended agent is actually a good fit for my situation?

Before suggesting an agent, we review the details you provide about your goals, timeline, and property type. This helps us identify the professional whose experience aligns with your situation. The result is one carefully chosen agent who is more likely to be a strong match for your needs.
