Marketing & Referral
Partner Agreement

1 Parties to This Agreement

This Marketing and Referral Partner Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between:

Both parties agree to the terms below upon submission of a deal through the Caymus Group deal intake platform.

2 Purpose of This Agreement

This Agreement establishes the terms under which the Referring Partner introduces off-market, distressed, or creatively structured real estate opportunities to Caymus Group. The goal is to provide a clear, fair, and protected framework for both parties to collaborate on real estate transactions.

3 Lead Ownership & Protection

The Referring Partner retains full ownership of the client lead from the moment of submission. Caymus Group agrees to the following protections:

• Caymus Group will not contact the referred client directly without the Referring Partner's knowledge and consent.
• Caymus Group will not market to, solicit, or enter into any agreement with the referred client outside of this partnership.
• The Referring Partner's identity and involvement will be acknowledged in all deal documentation.
• In the event the deal does not close, Caymus Group will not re-engage the referred client independently for a period of 6 months from the date of submission.
• No third party will be provided the referred client's contact information without the Referring Partner's written consent.

4 Non-Circumvention

Caymus Group agrees, under penalty of breach of this Agreement, that it will not circumvent, avoid, bypass, or obviate the Referring Partner in any way, directly or indirectly, in order to avoid payment or to avoid the involvement of the Referring Partner in a transaction arising from the introduction made under this Agreement.

Any violation of this clause entitles the Referring Partner to seek damages including, but not limited to, the compensation that would have been owed under this Agreement.

5 Compensation & Referral Fees

Compensation for the Referring Partner will be discussed and agreed upon prior to closing of each individual transaction. The general framework is as follows:

• Cash Deal: Referral fee or commission negotiated at time of offer presentation, paid at closing via HUD/settlement statement.
• Creative Finance (Sub-To, Novation, Seller Finance): Referral fee or participation structure agreed upon in writing prior to execution.
• Wholesale: Co-wholesale fee split negotiated at time of assignment. Typical range: 30–50% of net wholesale spread.
• Resale / Renovation: Where applicable, Referring Partner may retain listing rights on the exit sale per a separate listing agreement.

All compensation is subject to applicable state law, licensing requirements, and is contingent on successful closing of the transaction.

6 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep all deal-specific information — including client identity, property details, pricing, and deal structure — confidential and not to disclose such information to any third party without mutual written consent, except as required to complete the transaction.

7 Representations of the Referring Partner

By submitting a deal, the Referring Partner represents and warrants that:

• They have the authority to refer this lead and are not in violation of any existing exclusive agreements.
• All information provided about the property and seller is accurate to the best of their knowledge.
• If licensed, they are in good standing with their state real estate commission and broker of record.
• They understand that compensation is contingent on deal closing and applicable law.

8 Term & Termination

This Agreement is effective upon deal submission and remains in force for a period of 6 months for each specific property/client introduced, or until the transaction closes — whichever occurs first. Either party may terminate this Agreement with written notice, provided no pending transaction is in progress.

9 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved, through binding arbitration in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

10 Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions, representations, or agreements. Amendments must be made in writing and signed by both parties.
