Derrick Krueger, Real Estate Advisor with Compass. He is building a short list of agents he works with regularly.
Working together
Derrick works with a small group of agents across buyers, listings and shared opportunities. Before the work begins, both agents agree on who leads, what each will handle and how the compensation will be split.
Three ways to get started
00 Recommended
Set up a time with Derrick to talk through where help would be useful, whether it is a buyer, a listing or a defined task.
Use the conversation to decide what each agent will carry and which structure makes sense.
01
Derrick covers one defined part of the buyer process and returns the notes and next steps to the lead agent.
An agreed percentage, or a flat fee for a contained first engagement.
02
The lead agent keeps the listing while Derrick owns a defined part of the preparation, launch or ongoing work.
A percentage that grows with the work Derrick will carry, or a flat fee for a defined scope.
03
Both agents are named on the listing and share the strategy, preparation, launch, client communication, negotiation and responsibility through closing.
An agreed percentage and a written division of the work, communication and responsibility.
Referral arrangements are documented in a Colorado referral agreement.
How compensation works
The goal is a percentage that reflects the work each agent will carry. A flat fee can make sense for a small first engagement.
The scope and compensation go in writing before work begins and follow Compass approval.
Start with a chat. Talk through what’s coming up and where it might make sense to collaborate.
