For agents — register your buyer, earn co-op

If you're a buyer's agent at another brokerage with a client looking at Portland-metro new construction, Kaz works with you, not around you. Register your buyer before their first sales-office visit and the co-op is preserved.

Why register through KAZ New Homes

Procuring cause is preserved. Registering through Kaz in advance means the builder logs your buyer correctly. No "sign-in sheet ate my commission" stories.
You get the co-op the builder publishes. Kaz isn't taking a cut of your commission — the builder pays both sides, and your side is yours.
You get an on-site backup. If your buyer needs to tour and you can't be there, Kaz is your eyes and ears in the model home — strictly as your registered buyer's-side referral partner, not as their agent.
The hard parts are documented in advance. First-visit windows, allowed touring without agent present, what counts as registration — all spelled out in the per-community rules.

How this works

You have a buyer who is interested in one of the communities Kaz covers (or might be — ask).
You fill out the agent registration form with your buyer's name (or a code name), the community of interest, and your expected visit window.
Kaz registers the buyer with the builder, in writing, per that builder's specific process.
Kaz sends you the registration confirmation, the per-community co-op terms, and any pre-visit paperwork the builder requires.
You tour the community with your buyer. Kaz comes if you want her there as a knowledge resource, or stays out of the way.
At close, the builder pays your brokerage the published co-op commission.

Why this exists

Portland-metro builders enforce first-visit registration tightly. If your buyer walks into the model home before you've registered them, getting representation added later is hard and sometimes impossible. Kaz built this referral structure specifically to solve that procuring-cause exposure for outside agents.

It also exists because many agents who do mostly resale don't keep up with how each builder's registration mechanics differ — Ichijo's process is different from Terrata's, which is different from LGI's, which is different from a one-off Portland custom builder. Sending registrations through Kaz means you're not learning each builder's rules on the fly with money on the line.

What this is not

It's not a referral fee arrangement. Kaz is the registered outside agent of record for some specific builders. For others, you are. The per-community rules page spells out which is which.
It's not a buyer-poach. Your buyer remains your buyer. Kaz is on the registration as a knowledge partner only, where applicable.
It's not exclusive. You can register the same buyer with multiple agents and multiple communities — Kaz only enters the picture for the communities you ask her about.

Have a buyer touring this weekend?
