If you’re a real estate agent in New York or New Jersey, you already know the story. Half your database is currently packing a U-Haul, looking at Zillow listings in Boca Raton, or complaining about the latest tax hike while eyeing a flight to PBI or FLL.
The mass migration from the Northeast to the Sunshine State isn’t just a trend; it’s a pipeline. But here’s the question: are you getting a piece of that action, or are you just wishing your clients “good luck” and watching thousands of dollars in potential commissions evaporate?
At the Military Veteran Team at LPT Realty, we’ve turned the Florida referral process into a high-octane revenue stream for our partners in the Tri-State area. We’re not just talking about a standard referral check. We’re talking about tapping into a market where commissions can soar as high as 10%, and we’re handing you 25% of that on a silver platter.
The Financial Advantage: Why Florida is Different
In the NY/NJ market, you’re used to hard-fought commissions and high overhead. In Florida: especially in the booming new construction homes sector: the math looks a little different.
While a standard resale might offer the typical 2.5% to 3% to the buyer’s side, Florida builders are currently in an all-out arms race for buyers. It is not uncommon to see “New Construction Incentives” that offer a 5% or 6% base commission, plus “kicker” bonuses that can push the total payout to the agent toward that 10% mark.
When you refer a client to Craig Peleg, PA, you aren’t just getting 25% of a small slice. You are getting 25% of a “Gold Mine” commission structure that we actively hunt for. Our team knows exactly which developers are offering the highest incentives and which luxury real estate projects are desperate for qualified buyers.
The $50,000 Hook: The Palm Beach County Homebuyer Match Program
One of the biggest hurdles for your clients moving south is the rising cost of Florida real estate. Even with no state income tax, the barrier to entry can be tough.
That’s where we give you a massive competitive advantage. Craig Peleg, PA and the Military Veteran Team are experts in the Palm Beach County Homebuyer Match Program. This program offers up to a $50,000 grant for eligible homebuyers.
Imagine telling your client in Jersey City or Manhattan: “I have a partner in Florida who can potentially help you secure a $50,000 grant toward your new home.”
That is how you lock in a referral. Whether your client is a veteran home buyer looking to use their VA benefits or a professional relocating for work, this grant is a game-changer. We handle the heavy lifting of navigating these programs so you can look like the hero who has “connections” in high places.
Why Partner with Craig Peleg, PA?
There are a lot of “order takers” in Florida real estate: agents who practice the “3 P’s” (Put a sign in the yard, Put it in the MLS, and Pray). That’s not how we operate.
Craig Peleg, PA is a Broker Associate with over 22 years of experience. His family’s real estate legacy dates back to the late 1970s in NYC and 1980 in Florida. He understands the “New York hustle” because it’s in his DNA. When you send a client to the Military Veteran Team at LPT Realty, you are partnering with the #1 Zillow Flex team in Florida.
We have over 400 agents statewide and a support staff of over 100 administrators. We don’t just “show houses.” We use a high-tech, transparent bidding platform and an AI-driven screening process to ensure that every lead is handled with surgical precision.
The “Concierge” Experience: Protecting Your Reputation
We know that your biggest fear in referring a client is that the receiving agent will drop the ball, making you look bad.
Craig handles the entire Tri-County area: Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade: and has the infrastructure to cover the entire state. From the very first call (which goes through our CRM and is screened by our professional receptionist, Rachel), your client is treated like royalty.
We offer a full-service “Concierge” experience:
- The Hand-Off: You introduce us via email or text.
- The Strategy: We run a full consultation, exploring areas, price points, and those massive builder incentives.
- The Tech: If they are selling a property here to move elsewhere, we use our proprietary bidding model that lets sellers watch live competition, ensuring they get top dollar.
- The Close: We handle the inspections, the lenders, and the title companies.
- The Payday: You receive your 25% referral check promptly at closing.
We don’t just list and wait. We leverage “Zillow Showcase” results (often seeing 30k+ views and 1k+ inquiries) and run high-security, high-qualification open houses. We require “garage registration” for home security and have lenders on-site to pre-qualify buyers before they even walk through the front door.
Statewide Reach and Local Expertise
While we are the kings of the Tri-County area, our reach is truly statewide. Whether your client is looking for a waterfront condo in Miami, a new construction home in Orlando, or a quiet retirement spot on the Gulf Coast, we have the boots on the ground to handle it.
Our team is coached by a top-10 USA team leader who closes 1,000–1,500 homes a year. We’ve seen it all: from REOs and short sales during the foreclosure crisis to the current luxury boom. We’ve sold hundreds of homes and are backed by nearly 1,000 combined 5-star Zillow reviews.
How to Get Started
Don’t let your clients wander into a Florida sales office alone. If they walk into a new construction site without an agent, the builder keeps the commission, and you get nothing.
