Real Estate Broker Partner Program
Your clients ask you daily about downsizing, rental income, housing family members, and properties with extra land. Until now, you had no product to offer them. That changes today.

The Product
Compact Cottage is a 395 sq ft Movable Dwelling Unit — a fully livable, permanent home engineered to be placed wherever an RV is legally permitted. No competitor makes it. No other product fills this gap.
Livability
At 395 sq ft, it's designed for permanent occupancy — not camping. Clients live in it full time, use it as a guest residence, or rent it as a short-term unit.
Placement
Legal wherever an RV is permitted — RV parks, existing land, rural properties. This opens placement options unavailable to any traditional dwelling product.
Exclusivity
No other manufacturer produces a product like this. The first agents in any market to offer it own that conversation — and that client relationship.
Price Point
Priced well below traditional housing, it captures buyers who are priced out of conventional real estate — a market your office currently has no way to reach.
Who Buys It
These aren't hypothetical buyers. They're clients your agents talk to every week — people with a real problem and no current solution. Compact Cottage is that solution.
Retirees and empty nesters ready to shed the large home — but not ready for an assisted living transition. They want permanence, simplicity, and low maintenance.
"I don't need 3,000 square feet anymore."
Clients who spend half the year in Florida or Arizona and want a permanent home base at a park or community — not just a seasonal RV.
"I want something that feels like home, not a campsite."
Buyers with land or existing properties looking to generate short-term rental income in RV park communities without the complexity of a traditional ADU build.
"I want income from this extra lot I own."
Parents who want to house an adult child, aging parent, or in-law on their property — affordably, permanently, and with full independence for both parties.
"Mom needs her own space but I want her close."
Location-independent professionals seeking an affordable permanent home outside traditional housing markets, often near nature or in lower-cost regions.
"I can live anywhere. I just can't afford anywhere."
Clients who genuinely cannot qualify for or afford traditional homeownership, but want permanence — not renting forever. Now there's an answer.
"I want to own something. Anything."
The Add-On Advantage
Compact Cottage is designed to complement real estate transactions — not compete with them. Your agents introduce it at natural moments in existing client conversations, as a genuine solution to a real problem.
A client buys a home with a half-acre lot. Your agent mentions that lot could host a Compact Cottage — for rental income, a family member, or a guest house. The real estate deal closes. The Cottage referral closes separately. Your office earns commission on both.
A buyer can't afford anything in their target market. Instead of losing the relationship entirely, your agent presents Compact Cottage as a genuine path to ownership. The client feels served. The agent earns a referral commission. The relationship stays alive.
A client purchases a home and wants to maximize the backyard. A Compact Cottage becomes a pool house, an entertainment cottage, or a rentable guest unit. One transaction. Two revenue moments for your office.
When a client asks about adding an ADU and learns the permitting and construction costs, the Compact Cottage alternative closes the conversation cleanly. Placed where an RV is legal, it bypasses most of the municipal friction entirely.
The Numbers
Your office receives 6% of every Compact Cottage sale generated through your agents — paid directly to the brokerage. On an average sale of $63,000 that's $3,780 deposited to your office. How you reward your agents is entirely your decision.

Brokerage Earning Potential
Every Compact Cottage sale generates 6% directly to your brokerage. From a single unit all the way to eight — you decide how to reward the agents who make it happen.
Financing & Closing
Compact Cottage has done the work to remove every friction point between a client's interest and a closed sale. Financing is available, the transaction is simple, and your commission arrives quickly.
Financing
We've partnered with financing institutions that specialize in movable dwelling units. Clients who don't qualify for a conventional mortgage have a real path to purchase. You bring the client. We handle the financing conversation.
Affordability
At an average sale price of $63,000, financed monthly payments are often comparable to — or lower than — what your client is already paying in rent. For the first time, ownership is a genuine option for buyers you've had to turn away.
Simple closing
Because Compact Cottage is personal property, not real estate, the closing process is dramatically simpler. No title search. No mortgage underwriting delays. No 45-day escrow. The transaction moves quickly.
Your commission
We pay the brokerage's referral fee promptly upon sale completion. The simplified transaction structure means the money moves as fast as the deal does — making each referral a clean, predictable income event.
The In-Office Display
Becoming a Compact Cottage partner begins with one required investment: the in-office display unit. This is not a brochure rack or a poster. It is a fully interactive working model of the home — and it sells itself every time a client walks through your door.
The display is designed to stop a client mid-conversation. While they're waiting for paperwork or sitting across from your agent, the model commands attention. Clients pick it up, explore it, and ask the question that starts every sale: "What is that?"
Your agent doesn't need to introduce the product. The display does it for them — passively, professionally, every single day.
Required display investment

Or 3 equal payments of $330.
Earns back its full cost on a single referral sale.
Interactive
Every display includes a prominently placed QR code. When a curious client scans it, they land directly on your office's co-branded Compact Cottage page. The sale is credited to your brokerage the moment they engage — no manual tracking, no lost commissions.
Working model
The scale model is a physical, tactile representation of the Compact Cottage — accurate proportions, realistic finishes, openable panels. Clients who interact with a physical model are meaningfully more likely to request information than those shown a brochure.
Passive revenue
The display works in the background of every client meeting, every open house preparation, every listing appointment. Your agents never have to lead with it. It generates conversations organically — and every conversation is a potential commission event.
The working model catches their eye and sparks curiosity while they wait or review listings
They scan directly from the display — no app required, no friction, no agent involvement needed
They land on your office's co-branded Compact Cottage page — your name, your branding, your contact
The referral is automatically attributed to your office. Every sale that follows pays 6% to your brokerage
The Exclusive Advantage
Every client who purchases a Compact Cottage through your brokerage receives the Earth & Sky Luxury Upgrade at no additional charge. This upgrade is not available to customers who buy directly. It exists exclusively for clients referred by our broker partners.
Professionally installed around the entire base perimeter of the home. The skirting delivers a clean, finished appearance that transforms the unit from a movable structure into something that looks and feels like a permanent, established residence.
Installed around the entire roofline of the home. The soffit accent adds genuine architectural definition — the detail that separates a premium residential appearance from a standard unit. Combined with the skirting, it elevates the Compact Cottage into a product that presents well above its price point.
The Earth & Sky Upgrade is a rights-based benefit. Your brokerage has been granted the exclusive right to offer it to referred clients. A customer who finds Compact Cottage on their own and buys directly does not receive this upgrade — no exceptions. When a client buys through your office, they get something they genuinely cannot get anywhere else.
