Don't run all 12. Run these first.

Highest return, lowest friction, and they show off what makes you different.

01
Co-host a bilingual open house. Low effort, RESPA-clean, and it puts your Spanish-speaking edge in front of buyers and the agent at the same time.
02
Offer AI-personalized buyer guides for an agent's buyers. Your own content, genuinely useful, and it makes the agent look great.
03
Book one first-time buyer seminar. Higher lift, but it fills both your pipelines — just get the cost-split reviewed first.

RESPA reviewMed effort

Client-appreciation co-host

ClassesTeach your way to authority

"Path to homeownership" class

Why this wins: you teach the agent's nervous buyers the process. They look generous; you look like the expert. Education, no exchange.

AI-personalized buyer guides

Why this wins: a tailored guide per buyer or listing — your own service and content. Clean, modern, and genuinely useful to the agent.

RESPA reviewMed effort

Co-branded neighborhood content

Why this wins: co-branded market updates earn reach. Co-branded marketing needs a fair-market-value cost split — document it.

RESPA reviewLow effort

Co-branded social reels

Why this wins: you explain financing, they show the home — high engagement. Split production fairly or each post your own cut.

RESPA §8 The one rule under all 12

Co-marketing is legal when each party pays the fair market value of what they actually get, split pro-rata. It becomes illegal the moment anything of value is given or received for referrals. When a play is tagged review, run the arrangement past CMS compliance and document the split before you spend a dollar. "Clean" plays are pure education or your own service — no exchange.
