At least one representative of the broker office should complete the orientation. Following completion of the orientation, a Pinehills Sales Representative will provide a broker office with the Broker Referral Agreement for signature. The terms of this Broker Referral Agreement apply exclusively to sales to third party home buyers who are purchasing land and simultaneously entering into an agreement with a Cooperating Builder to build a custom home at The Pinehills, including land listed for sale through the multiple listings service (MLS). Referral Fee: Provided that the conditions set forth in the Broker Referral Agreement are satisfied, including without limitation Section 2 thereof, a Referral Fee in the amount of 2.5% of the purchase price of the land plus $20,000 will be paid to the Referring Broker within ten (10) business days following the actual closing on the sale of the land to a prospective buyer, provided that the contract to design and construct the custom home is entered into by the buyer and the Pinehills Cooperating Builder simultaneously with the closing on the sale of land. In the case of any land that is listed for sale through the multiple listings service (MLS), broker compensation shall be in accordance with said listing and not subject to or under the terms of the Broker Referral Agreement. The Referral: Referring Brokers must have on file with Pinehills LLC a fully executed Broker Referral Agreement.

Each time a Referring Broker (or its Agent) accompanies a prospective buyer to The Pinehills for their initial, introductory visit, we will register the broker s office and prospective buyer s name(s) to confirm the contact. Following the visit, generally within five (5) business days, we will then review the registration to determine whether or not a Referral Fee is due upon the sale of land in accordance with the terms of the Broker Referral Agreement. Workshops and Information: Once registered, Sales Representatives for Pinehills LLC may invite the prospective buyer to workshops and events, and maintain up to date communication on the community of The Pinehills. Cooperating Builder(s) may also provide the prospective buyer with information concerning homes for sale or invitations to events sponsored or undertaken by a Cooperating Builder. A member of the Pinehills LLC sales team or the Cooperating Builders may tour the prospective buyer through the available home sites and neighborhoods, and review floor plans and home designs. The Referring Broker (or its Agent) is welcome to join the prospect buyer, but is not required to do so.
