Last updated: September 5, 2025

These Referral Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern all referral arrangements made through Register Commercial (legal name: Patrick Register Commercial Real Estate Co), a licensed real estate firm in North Carolina (Firm License #C34749). The company is a wholly owned S-Corporation of Patrick Register, who serves as the Qualifying Broker (License #233487 NC, #111829 SC).

Register Commercial operates as a team affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty (NC Firm License #C26002, SC Firm License #9958). All brokerage activities of Patrick Register are conducted under Coldwell Banker Realty.

Payment of referral fees:

  • Coldwell Banker Realty collects all commissions for transactions.
  • Referral fees are disbursed directly to the referring broker by Coldwell Banker Realty.
  • The remainder of the commission is then paid by Coldwell Banker Realty to Patrick Register Commercial Real Estate Co.

By submitting a referral, you acknowledge and agree to the following Terms, as well as the use of the NC Realtor® Standard Form 543 Referral Agreement.

1. Referral Eligibility

  • Referrals must be submitted before Patrick Register or any member of Register Commercial has made contact with the prospect.
  • A referral applies only to the specifically named individual or company submitted and does not extend to unrelated parties, affiliates, or future introductions.
  • Referrals of expired or withdrawn listings within the last 90 days will not be accepted.
  • Register Commercial reserves the right to decline referrals at its discretion.

2. Documentation Requirements

  • All referral arrangements must be documented using the NC Realtor® Standard Form 543 Referral Agreement.
  • No referral fee will be recognized without a fully executed agreement signed by both parties prior to substantive discussions with the prospect.
  • Referral agreements are non-transferable and apply only to the referring agent of record.
  • A referral is valid only once acknowledged in writing by Patrick Register.

3. Referral Fee Structure

Referral fees are paid on a tiered schedule based on the number of calendar days between the effective date of a fully executed listing agreement with the referred seller and the closing of the sale of the listed property:

  • 25% if closing occurs within 0–90 days
  • 20% if closing occurs within 91–365 days
  • 15% if closing occurs within 366–730 days
  • 10% if closing occurs within 731–1,095 days

After 1,095 days, no referral fee will be owed.

4. Payment Conditions

  • Referral fees are calculated only on the listing side commission actually received by Coldwell Banker Realty, net of co-brokerage splits, adjustments, or concessions.
  • Referral fees are payable only from net commission proceeds actually collected. If no commission is received, no referral fee will be owed.
  • Referral fees will be net of any legal fees, collection costs, or other expenses required to recover commission owed.
  • Payment will be made only after funds have cleared into Coldwell Banker Realty’s trust or operating accounts.

5. Scope of Engagement

  • Submission of a referral does not guarantee that Register Commercial will enter into a listing, representation, or transaction with the prospect.
  • Register Commercial reserves the right to decline engagement with any referred prospect for any reason.
  • Referral recognition does not grant the referring agent any right to direct negotiations, strategy, or client communications.

6. Confidentiality & Communication

  • Register Commercial will provide reasonable updates regarding referral status, subject to client confidentiality obligations.
  • Referring agents will not be provided with confidential or privileged information concerning the client, transaction, or negotiations.
  • Updates are intended only to confirm that the referral is being handled and to allow the referring agent to maintain a relationship with their prospect.

7. Dispute Resolution

  • Any disputes concerning referral fees must be resolved in accordance with the executed written agreement (NC Realtor® Standard Form 543) and these Terms.
  • Verbal agreements, text messages, or informal communications do not constitute enforceable referral arrangements.

8. Limitation of Liability

  • Register Commercial, Patrick Register, Coldwell Banker Realty, or Patrick Register Commercial Real Estate Co. shall not be liable for lost opportunities, anticipated referral fees, or any indirect or consequential damages.
  • Referral fees are limited exclusively to the amounts described herein.

9. Amendments
