If you’re a real estate agent in New York or New Jersey right now, you’ve probably noticed something: your clients are disappearing. Not literally, of course, they’re just showing up in my inbox.
The “Northeast Exodus” isn’t a myth; it’s a massive, multi-billion dollar migration. Residents from the Tri-State area are flocking to Florida in record numbers, trading grey slush and high state taxes for palm trees and property value appreciation. But here is the problem: when your long-term client decides to buy a vacation home or relocate to Boca Raton, Miami, or Palm Beach, do you lose that commission?
Historically, many agents did. They’d wish their client well, maybe send a “congrats” text, and watch a potential five-figure payday evaporate. Not anymore.
At the Military Veteran Team at Lpt Realty, led by Craig Peleg, PA, we’ve built a bridge between the Northeast and the Sunshine State. We aren’t just helping people find houses; we are helping NY/NJ agents secure 25% referral splits on massive new construction commissions, all while leveraging a $50,000 homebuyer grant that makes your clients move faster than you’ve ever seen.
The $50,000 Hook: The Palm Beach County Homebuyer Match Program
Let’s talk about the “secret weapon” that is currently driving a frenzy in the South Florida market. It’s called the Palm Beach County Homebuyer Match Program.
This isn’t your standard, tiny local incentive. This program provides eligible buyers with matching funds up to $50,000. Think about that for a second. If your client is looking at luxury real estate or a mid-range new construction home in Palm Beach County, having an extra $50k on the table is a complete game-changer.
But here is the catch: The deadline is April 20, 2026.
As an agent in the Northeast, you can use this as the ultimate “Call to Action.” You don’t have to wait for your client to wander into a Lennar or D.R. Horton sales office on their own (where you’ll likely get cut out of the commission). You call them today and say, “Hey, I know you’ve been looking at Florida. There is a $50k grant program ending April 20th. I have a partner on the ground who can lock this in for you.”
You look like a hero. We handle the paperwork. You get paid.
The Math: Why 25% of a New Build Commission is Massive
In the world of Florida new construction homes, the commission structures are a different breed. While the resale market can be tight, Florida builders are hungry. We are seeing commissions ranging from 5% to as high as 10% on certain inventory.
When you refer a client to Craig Peleg, PA, we give you a rock-solid 25% referral split.
Do the math on a $800,000 new construction home in Broward or Palm Beach County:
- Purchase Price: $800,000
- Builder Commission (e.g., 6%): $48,000
- Your 25% Referral Fee: $12,000
You didn’t have to fly to Florida. You didn’t have to spend three days showing homes in 90-degree heat. You didn’t have to argue with a builder’s sales rep about the floor plan. You made one introduction and walked away with a $12,000 check.
Why Refer to Craig Peleg, PA and the Military Veteran Team?
You’ve probably worked with referral partners before who “forgot” to update you, or worse, “lost” the client once they hit the state line. That’s not how we roll.
Craig Peleg, Broker Associate, is a second-generation professional with a legacy dating back to the late 1970s in NYC and 1980 in Florida. With 22+ years of experience, he’s seen every market cycle imaginable.
Here is why NY/NJ agents trust us:
- #1 Zillow Flex Team in Florida: We have the scale and the technology to handle high-volume referrals without anyone falling through the cracks.
- Statewide Coverage: Whether your client wants Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, or even Central/North Florida, we have over 400 agents statewide to cover every inch of the market.
- The 300 Club: In a single rookie year, the team put nearly 300 new-construction buyers under contract. We know the builders, we know the incentives, and we know how to protect your commission.
- No “List and Pray”: Most agents use the “3 P’s”: Put a sign in the yard, Put it in the MLS, and Pray. Or they use the “3 B’s”: Bury a sign, Bury it in the MLS, and Bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard. We use high-tech bidding platforms, AI-driven lead screening, and a transparent bidding model that ensures the seller gets top dollar while the buyer feels the process is fair.
The “Seamless Referral” Process: We Protect Your Relationship
The biggest fear agents have is losing their client. We treat your referral like gold. Our process is designed to keep you in the loop while we do the heavy lifting.
- The Introduction: You send an email or text introducing the client to Craig Peleg, PA at 561-677-2568.
- The Consultation: Our team (including Rachel, our amazing receptionist) screens the lead and sets up a high-level consultation.
- The Strategy: We identify if they qualify for the $50k Grant or other builder incentives.
- The Search: We handle the showings, the negotiations, and the builder contracts.
- The Closing: We manage the process all the way to the finish line.
- The Payday: Your 25% referral fee is sent directly to your brokerage.
We even use a “garage registration” system for high-volume open houses and a transparent bidding platform that lets buyers see competing offers in real time. This means less friction, faster closings, and happier clients.
Don’t Let the April 20th Deadline Slip By
The Florida market isn’t slowing down, but the best incentives are time-sensitive. The Palm Beach County Homebuyer Match Program is a literal “money on the table” opportunity for your buyers.
