What commission do realtor referral partners earn?
Morningside offers realtor referral partners a 15% commission on all referrals that become orders. The dollar amount depends on the referred purchase. The average three-bedroom-home order of around $5,000 gives an illustrative commission of about $750.
Is the average three-bedroom-home order really around $5,000?
Yes, around $5,000 is Morningside’s average-order planning figure for a three-bedroom home. It is not a fixed package price or a quote for every home. The number of windows, selected products and project scope can make an individual order smaller or larger.
How much could I earn from ten client closings a year?
At a $5,000 average order and 15% commission, five completed referred orders would earn $3,750 in gross commission. That is a 50% conversion illustration for ten client closings. At 25% conversion the model is $1,875; at 100% it is $7,500. These are scenarios, not promised results.
Are the Edmonton and Calgary closing figures official realtor averages?
No. They are transparent market-based illustrations, not published individual-agent averages. Edmonton uses roughly 27,000 Greater Edmonton sales and a 5,500-member base. Calgary uses 22,751 city-only sales and an 8,600-member regional base. Both assume two representation sides per sale; geography, current membership and individual workloads differ.
Where do the local market figures come from?
Sales figures come from RAE’s December 2025 Greater Edmonton statistics and CREB’s January 2026 release about Calgary’s 2025 market. Their public membership pages state over 5,500 and over 8,600 members respectively, checked on 12 October 2026. These current minimum membership bases are not exact 2025 annual-average counts.
Is this passive or recurring income?
It is referral income without managing the window-covering project. You make the introduction and remain transparent with the client; Morningside handles the product conversation. Each referred order creates its own commission opportunity. It is not an automatic recurring payment, and a referral that does not become an order does not generate the illustrated commission.
Do I need to recommend particular blinds or fabrics?
No. Introduce your client to Morningside and let our team help them compare treatments. You do not need to measure windows, select the fabric or manage product orders. The client’s choices and the agreed project scope determine the final purchase.
Can Calgary realtors participate?
Yes. The realtor referral program is for partners in Edmonton and Calgary. Share your client’s project address so appointment options and any measuring, delivery or installation arrangements can be discussed. Our physical showroom is in Edmonton and visits are by appointment.
How are my referrals identified and commissions paid?
Speak with our team before your first introduction. We will discuss how your referral is identified, the commission calculation basis and payment arrangements as part of the partnership. The annual examples show gross commission before taxes or any applicable brokerage arrangements; they do not establish a payout timetable.
Should I disclose the commission to my client?
Be transparent with clients about the referral commission and check your brokerage’s policies and applicable professional requirements. A recommendation should remain useful to the client, and they decide whether to book a consultation and place an order.
Are annual referral earnings guaranteed?
No. The examples assume a $5,000 average order and a stated conversion rate. Actual income depends on completed referred purchases, order values and the agreed commission calculation. A property closing or an introduction alone does not guarantee a window-covering order.
