The three words that win clients: "I know a guy."

KnowAGuy connects Realtors with vetted local trades — turf, pool, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Clients get someone they can trust. Trades get warm referrals instead of cold leads. Realtors get paid to be the connector they already are.

The founding math · example
Backyard turf install$3,000 job
Referral commission to the Realtor10% = $300
Realtor Hub membership$89/mo
One referral covers3+ months
Illustrative example, not a guarantee. Referral compensation is subject to your state's rules, your broker's policy, and written client disclosure — the platform builds the disclosure in.
For Realtors

Look like the pro who knows everyone.

Your clients already ask you for a turf guy, a pool guy, an electrician. Right now those referrals earn you goodwill. They should also earn your keep.

1
Build your crewAdd trades you already trust, or pull from the vetted network.
2
Refer like you already do"I know a guy" — one tap shares the intro. The ledger tracks it.
3
Get the commission-backJob closes, you get 10%. Disclosure paperwork is built in.
Founding Realtors: free during the pilot, then included with Realtor Hub.
For Trades

Warm referrals. Not $80 cold leads.

Lead platforms sell the same homeowner to five contractors and charge you either way. A Realtor referral arrives pre-sold: "my Realtor said you're the one to call."

1
Get vetted, get listedLicense, insurance, and references checked. That is what makes the list worth being on.
2
Take referrals from local RealtorsEvery Realtor in the network is a channel. Their clients become your clients.
3
Pay only when it worksFree to start. 10% referral fee on jobs you win. Membership pricing comes later, after we prove it earns for you.
Founding trades: free to join — locked founding rate when paid tiers arrive.

Every referral platform sells leads. Nobody productized the handshake.

Homeowners do not want a marketplace with 40 strangers and star ratings. They want the one name their Realtor vouches for. KnowAGuy makes that vouch — the oldest lead channel in the world — trackable, fair, and worth everyone's time.

Vetted means vettedLicense, insurance, and reference checks before a trade is listed. One bad job and the network knows.
The Realtor stays the heroReferrals go out under the Realtor's name, never ours. We are the rails, not the face.
Money flows in the openCommission-backs are disclosed to the client in writing. No quiet kickbacks, ever.
Starts where trust existsFounding network: Arizona West Valley, built on working relationships, not scraped listings.
The fine print we lead with: referral compensation to real estate licensees is regulated. It may need to run through your broker, must be disclosed to your client in writing, and is never allowed on settlement services (lenders, title, inspections). KnowAGuy is being built compliance-first — disclosure documents and state-rule checks are part of the product, not an afterthought.

Founding spots are real and small.

First cohort: 10 West Valley Realtors, 15 vetted trades across turf, pool, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, landscape, garage, and handyman. Text to claim a spot — a human answers.
