Why Carey Real Estate Group Is the Smartest Place to Send Your Referrals (or Sell Your Book of Business) in 2026

If you’ve spent any amount of time in this industry, you already know this: your reputation is everything.
When you refer a client out, that referral represents you. How they’re cared for, how they’re communicated with, the results they get — it all reflects back on your name.

That’s why we’re sharing this message.

Because in 2026, Carey Real Estate Group is stepping into the Nanaimo and Vancouver Island market with purpose, strong resources, and something truly rare in real estate — the infrastructure, leadership, and capital to serve clients at a very high level and to honour referral partners better than anyone else in the business.

We’re not easing into the market.
We’re arriving with strength, clarity, and a level of backing most teams could only dream of.

And we’re doing something extremely clear:
We want your referrals.
And we’re willing to pay more than anyone else for them.

Let us explain.

A Team Built on Massive Infrastructure

Carey Real Estate Group brings together several experienced agents and some incredible up-and-coming talent — but that’s only the beginning.

Behind this team is an engine few organizations can match.

I (Morgan) am the Co-Founder of Carey Real Estate Group, and also the founder of Real Estate Webmasters, the largest custom real estate marketing firm in the world.
For nearly two decades, our work has helped tens of thousands of agents, team leaders, and brokerages scale to $100M+ and even $1B+ in annual production.

We’ve seen the best teams in North America from the inside.
We know what excellence looks like — because we built the tools, systems, SEO engines, and training they rely on.

So when we built Carey Real Estate Group, we launched with:

• The largest and most visible office in the city
• Full-time professional administrative support
• A near-unlimited marketing budget
• World-class technology and SEO systems
• Processes modeled after elite teams across North America
• A culture grounded in excellence, service, and purpose

Our agents don’t start behind.
They start ahead.

We Pay More — 10% More — Than Anyone Else for Referrals (2026 Initiative)

To help us break into the market and create meaningful partnerships, we’re offering 10% more than the standard referral fees typically paid in our area.

To make it concrete:

• Standard referral fee: 25%
• Carey Real Estate Group referral fee (2026 initiative): 27.5% (1.1 × 25%)

This is a strategic 2026 initiative — generous, competitive, and designed to build strong, long-term relationships with other Realtors.

And For Single-Deal Referrals? We Pay 50%.

Some of the most common referrals we receive are “single deal” referrals — situations where:

• The client already knows exactly which property they want
• The referring agent has a conflict of interest
• Or the agent simply can’t write the offer due to agency restrictions
• And all that’s needed is for someone to negotiate the deal and handle the paperwork

For those specific situations — where the property is already identified at the time of referral — we pay a full 50% referral fee.

A huge number of Realtors run into dual agency issues or sub-market work they can’t handle, and we’re the easiest, most profitable solution.

This is one of the highest single-transaction referral fee options in our market, and it’s designed to give agents confidence that their clients will be handled professionally, efficiently, and with full transparency.

Buying Books of Business — Because Our Agents Deserve More Than “Normal”

Here’s something unique in our region:

We are actively buying books of business from Vancouver Island Realtors.

Not “open to it.”
Not “if it comes along.”
This is a core strategic initiative, and we have a multi-million-dollar acquisition fund dedicated to it.

We’re purchasing:

• Databases
• Referral books
• Past clients
• Pipelines
• Entire real estate practices

Why?

Because we want our agents to have more opportunities than any other agents on any other team.

Where other teams wait for business…
We acquire it.

Where other team leaders tell agents to “go generate more leads”…
We invest real capital to bring opportunities directly to them.

Where most brokerages offer nothing but a desk and a brand…
We bring volume, quality, structure, and opportunity.

No other team leader or brokerage in our region steps up like this for their people.
We do — because that’s real leadership.

“A Team With Purpose” — And Here’s Something Amazing

Our tagline is simple: A Team With Purpose.
And we take that seriously.

Carey Real Estate Group donates a minimum of 10% of all team profits to local charities and community initiatives — and here’s something amazing:

Not one dollar of that donation comes out of our agents’ commissions.
It comes entirely from the owners.

So when agents refer clients to us, they aren’t just choosing a capable team — they’re choosing a team that invests directly into the community.

Your referral helps support:

• Kids receiving Christmas gifts
• Families accessing essential services
• Local charities receiving meaningful funding
• Neighbours getting the support they need

It’s good values.
It’s good business.
And clients feel the difference.
