How does a real estate agent become a "preferred" agent for Dell (the computer company)?

I am a real estate agent in Nashville TN. A close friend of mine is being relocated by Dell (the computer company) and Dell is paying his commission fees to sell his condo. The catch is that he MUST use a Dell "preferred" agent - so he can't use me!



Any idea how I would get on this list? I have searched Dell websites and google all day long and can't find a place to start.How does a real estate agent become a "preferred" agent for Dell (the computer company)?Call Dell Human Resources and ask them. They handle relocation contracts.



I would imagine it is listing BROKERS who become preferred in a certain town, and to simplify things, Dell HR would use a national brokerage.



You are in sales. Give Dell a sweet call!



BTW, you can bring a client to buy that condo and earn the other half of the commission. That would be most valuable to Dell right now. And if you can sell a condo in this market, you would really prove your worth!How does a real estate agent become a "preferred" agent for Dell (the computer company)?Dell probably uses one of the assorted relocation firms in the nation for such relocation situations. Unless you are registered with whatever relocation firm Dell uses, you can't get in on the action. Be advised that these relocation firms have certain criteria which must be met in order to be approved, and THEN you can expect them to keep 35-40% of any fees earned on the transaction.



Frankly, I avoid working with relocation firms. It's a huge hassle, requiring tons of paperwork, and then you end up losing over a third of what you earned.How does a real estate agent become a "preferred" agent for Dell (the computer company)?I agree with Acer. Relo's can be a huge pain in the hind end.



35 - 45% referral fee %26amp; then some also have a "national" referral fee paid to corporate of an additional 10%. You have to prepare something similar to a BPO, a written marketing plan, copies of all advertising, feedback on all showing and written status reports every week.



You'll be doing at least 50% more work %26amp; making almost half what you would on any other listings.

You could check their website for their requirements. Many have production level and designation requirements. There may also be a requirement of belonging to a franchise office and Board of Realtors.
