Client FAQs

Are there any fees associated with this referral service?

No, there is no cost to use our referral service.

Am I obligated to work with an agent once I submit the request form?

Not at all. Submitting a request does not create any obligation to work with a referred agent. While we carefully vet the professionals on our platform and know you’ll be in good hands, you are always free to decide whether the relationship is the right fit for you.

What selection criteria is used for the platform’s agents?

Our agents are vetted extensively to meet our rigorous standards. For an in-depth overview of this criteria, please visit the ‘Standard’ section.

Is Southlight affiliated with a brokerage?

No, Southlight is an independent platform and is not owned or affiliated with any single brokerage, allowing us to connect clients with trusted, area-specific experts.

What does it cost to work with an agent?

In most cases, real estate agents are compensated through a commission based on a percentage of the final sale price of the property, typically ranging from 5% to 6% total, which is often split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. Commission rates can vary by market and are always discussed and agreed upon before representation begins.

Who typically uses your referral platform?

Our clients include Florida residents, individuals relocating from out of state or abroad, retirees, seasonal residents (snowbirds) and investors seeking trusted local real estate representation.

How is this platform different from other referral options?

Our platform provides clients with direct access to Florida’s most highly recommended local real estate agents. Unlike traditional referral websites with open participation, our agents are hand-selected through a rigorous vetting process to ensure exceptional expertise, professionalism, and consistently outstanding client experiences.

With only one highly recommended agent in each sub-region, what happens if they’re not available to take on new clients?

We closely monitor the number of introductions each agent receives to ensure they can properly serve every client. If an agent’s availability becomes limited, we temporarily pause new introductions and feature another highly recommended local agent until availability returns. Our goal is to make sure every client receives attentive, high-quality service and that there is always a highly recommended agent available to serve our clients.
