Partner Perks

Beyond the Check

The referral fee is just the start. Here's what comes with being a Focus Partner Agent.

Rental Analysis on Request

Send us an address and we'll turn around a rental cash-flow analysis you can share with investor-buyer clients. Open to any agent in our community — bring it to your next showing before they even ask the question.

Seller Connections — Back to You

When an owner-client we manage decides to sell, we connect them back to the referring agent documented in their partner agreement. That relationship is already on file — no chasing, no awkward asks.

Trackable Referral Link

A referral link tied to your name. When a client comes to us through your link, attribution is automatic — you get a lightweight marketing tool for your investor pipeline without any extra paperwork.

The Investor Pipeline

Between our owner-clients looking to expand their portfolios and long-term tenants who become first-time buyers, our network surfaces buyer opportunities all year. Straight commission for you, no strings attached.

Top Partner of the Year

Annual recognition with a plaque, public shoutout across our social and newsletter, and a year-end bonus referral payment paid broker-to-broker on top of your tier earnings.

What Owners Say

Built on Trust

Frank Meszaros

Working with Focus has been a pleasure. Very accessible and communicative. They've been very patient in answering my myriad questions and also giving me good tools to help grow my business over time. I'd gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality PM.

Britt Bratt

Focus reality has been a great place to rent through. I've been with them for several months now and they have been great. The property manager I have has just been great. She has been prompt with any issues I have had at the house (none to serious) and been right on getting it fixed! She has been more than helpfully and understanding with rent. As I have to pay my rent in 2 payments every month and not within the first 5 days of the month She has helped with my late fees as they would be adding on an extra 300$ a mo th!! She has truly been great! Thankyou guys so much for being awesome landlords and property managers! -Brittney & Andy 1881 shasta!

Athena Lane

Don't know what these people are saying about poor maintenance? They are on the ball , always !! Love that you can schedule for fixing easy . They always answer the phone even on the days they are closed . Very pleasant staff !!!

DD Bruney

I appreciate Focus Realty and Management. They are very professional, efficient, and reliable. They are friendly and I have had nothing but positive experiences with them and their contractors. I would seek to do business with this company and its team in the future.

Matthew Longest

Lived there for 1 years. As landlords they are pretty cool and good, however my biggest issues with them is that whenever we would make some type of appointment they would always reschedule. So say we schedule something for Friday, on Friday they would give me a call and ask to reschedule. But the funny thing is for some reason they always show up the second time and never reschedule the second time. I like that I can easily text or email them. But I got my full security deposit back, I did clean everything before I left but I'm pretty happy with my experience with Focus Reality as my landlord.

Common Questions

FAQ

No. Full stop. That's the whole premise of the program. When you sign the Partner Agreement, the loyalty promise is in writing — Focus Realty & Management will never solicit your client for a sales transaction. If your client ever decides to sell, we'll connect them back to you. You owe us nothing for that listing.

Active Ohio real estate licensees only, per ORC § 4735.01. All referral fees are paid broker-to-broker — your broker must be willing to accept the referral on your behalf. If you're unsure whether your brokerage allows referral arrangements, check with your broker of record before submitting.

Broker-to-broker within 7 days of a signed management agreement. Per Ohio Revised Code § 4735.01 and Ohio Administrative Code 1301:5-5-06, all referral fees must be paid to your brokerage — not directly to you as an individual agent. We'll coordinate the payment directly with your broker of record. If the client does not move forward, no fee is owed and we'll notify you promptly.

The listing comes back to you, full stop. That's the loyalty promise — and it's in writing in the Partner Agreement. You don't owe us a referral fee back, and there's no awkward conversation. We simply make the introduction and step aside.

Our primary focus is residential property management — single-family homes, small multi-family (2–20 units), and similar assets. If your client has a mixed or commercial portfolio, reach out directly and we'll have an honest conversation about whether it's a good fit. Submit the referral form and note the property type in the Notes field.

We manage properties across Central Ohio, with primary focus in Licking and Fairfield counties and the surrounding area. If you're unsure whether a property falls within our service area, submit the referral and we'll let you know right away.

No — we can't guarantee any client will sign a management agreement, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that we'll make a strong, professional first contact within 24 hours, keep you updated throughout, and let you know clearly if it doesn't move forward. You'll never be left wondering.
