Referral for finding a client a rental??

[Cody Steck]

I have a client who is in a bit of a crunch - They were in a lease option and it has fallen apart. They are looking for another lease option or they need to get into a rental for ~6 months. If I help them find a rental, how do I go about asking for a referral from the landlord?

I've never done this so I don't want to waste my time working with them for free, I'm just not sure how to structure it.

@Cody Steck does your MLS not have Rental listings? I know our MLS does, so the Landlord has already agreed to pay a fee. Otherwise any property you find , that you want your client to see, just ask the Landlord are they willing to pay a fee, ask prior to visiting the property. If they are not willing but you still think it will suit your client needs, you will have to decide what your role will be. Loyalty and helping someone hold in a tight situation is always generally paid with referrals and repeat business.
