Bring Your Deals. Keep Your License.
Join the CookinCap Real Estate LLC broker (Lani Jovicic, DRE-licensed). Or refer under our lead-gen partner program.
Two tracks, and we say out loud which entity does what. Licensed representation runs through CookinCap Real Estate LLC. Advisory, analysis and assignment run through CookinCapital, Inc. The boundary is the product, not the fine print.
Two tracks
Pick the one your license actually allows
Nothing below is a compensation promise. Every figure is the published CookinCap Real Estate LLC standard, effective only under a signed agreement and the licensing rules of your jurisdiction.
Licensed Path
Transfer your California license to CookinCap Real Estate LLC and work deals under the Designated Broker. You keep the client relationship; the brokerage carries DRE compliance, supervision, E&O, trust accounting and the transaction file.

California B&P §10137

Doc K is signed before any referral fee workflow begins.
The deal handoff
What happens after you hit submit
Your facts become a record, the record becomes a decision, the decision becomes capital or a buyer, and the ledger shows what you earned. You can see every stage; you never lose the relationship.
- 01
Register the opportunity
You submit the facts and the consent you already hold. The lead is time-stamped to you the moment it lands — attribution is written to the record, not remembered in a conversation.
Consent logged - 02
Analysis + advisor review
SaintSal runs the underwriting; a human advisor reviews before anything goes to a buyer or a lender. You see the same grade and the same numbers your client sees.
Doc M attached - 03
Capital or buyer match
Routed into the 50+ lender network or the vetted buyer pool. Routing is a match, never an approval, and never a promise of price.
Doc E / F on buyer side - 04
Close + settlement ledger
Escrow funds, then the ledger shows exactly what was earned and when. Commission is paid within 5 business days of escrow funding by direct deposit, 1099 annually.

Partner FAQ
License, leads, splits, timing, compliance
Do I have to move my license?
No. The licensed path is a broker-controlled conversation with Lani Jovicic, not an automatic transfer, and the referral path requires no license at all when you are compensated for lead generation and marketing only.
Who owns the lead?
You do. Attribution is written to the record at registration, and Doc K §3 bars either side from circumventing the other for 24 months following an introduction.
Is the split guaranteed?
No compensation exists before a signed agreement, verified licensing where required, and an actual closed transaction. The published waterfall is the CookinCap Real Estate LLC standard; the executed agreement and your jurisdiction control.
What about California §10137?
Referral fees for real estate transactions may require a valid California license. If you do not hold one, the arrangement is structured and disclosed as lead generation and marketing — not transaction brokerage. Doc K §2 makes you state which box you are in.
What if CookinCapital ends up on both sides?
Then Doc J (Dual Advisory Disclosure) is presented to both parties before the deal proceeds. There is no silent dual role.

The referral agreement, in full, before you apply
Canonical text from the CookinCapital RE Advisory package. Blank fields are completed with your actual arrangement at signature — nothing here is filled in for you.
1. REFERRAL ARRANGEMENT
CookinCapital, Inc. (“Company”) agrees to pay Referral Partner a referral fee for each qualified deal or lead that results in a closed transaction, as follows: [ ] Flat fee of $__________ per closed transaction. [ ] Percentage of Company's advisory/assignment fee: ____%. [ ] Per-lead fee of $__________ for each qualified lead (regardless of close). Referral fees are payable within 15 business days of Company receiving its fee from the closed transaction.
2. LICENSING COMPLIANCE
IMPORTANT: Under California law, payment of referral fees for real estate transactions may require the recipient to hold a valid California real estate license (Business and Professions Code Section 10137). Referral Partner represents that (check one): [ ] Referral Partner holds a valid California RE license: DRE# __________. [ ] Referral Partner is referring consulting/advisory clients, not brokering real estate transactions. [ ] Referral Partner is compensated for lead generation/marketing services only, not for transaction brokerage. Company and Referral Partner agree to structure this arrangement in compliance with all applicable laws.
3. NON-CIRCUMVENTION
For 24 months following any introduction, neither party shall circumvent the other to deal directly with any contact, lead, or party introduced through this arrangement. Violation results in liquidated damages equal to the referral fee that would have been earned.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Referral Partner is an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or representative of CookinCapital. Referral Partner is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and licensing.

What we will not do
No compensation is promised before a signed agreement, verified licensing where required, and transaction eligibility. Published splits are the brokerage standard, not an offer.
Referral and brokerage roles stay distinct. An unlicensed partner is compensated for lead generation and marketing only, never for negotiating or brokering a transaction (CA B&P §10137).
Doc J (Dual Advisory Disclosure) is presented whenever CookinCapital advises both sides. Doc H and Doc I appear only at an actual fee or assignment event. Doc L, N and Q are accepted on the account.
