Real Estate Agent Referral Hub
When your client needs property management, you are trusting someone else with a relationship you worked hard to build.
HubKey exists to make that referral easy and safe. We manage the property professionally, stay in our lane, and protect the connection you have with your client.
When that client is ready to sell, we send them back to you. Always.
Built for Real Estate Agents
HubKey works with real estate agents and small teams who regularly introduce property owners to a property manager.
You are not using the service yourself. You are putting your name behind it.
Our responsibility is to honor that trust and make sure your referral reflects well on you.
Why Referring Property Management Feels Risky
Most agents have been burned before.
Many property management companies require that if they manage the property, they also list it when it comes time to sell. That may be their policy.
Not at HubKey.
We have a Refer Back Guarantee. If your client decides to sell, they go back to you. If they are ready to purchase another investment property, they go back to you.
Our job is to manage the property well. Your job is to represent your client in their real estate decisions. We respect that line.
HubKey’s Refer Back Guarantee
When you refer a client to HubKey for property management, that relationship stays yours.
If the owner decides to sell or buy another property, we refer them directly back to you. It’s very important that we do not interfere with your client relationships.
Our role is to manage the property well and step aside when it is time for a sale.
How the Referral Process Works
- You introduce your client to HubKey.
- We take over property management and communicate clearly with the owner.
- You are not involved in day-to-day issues, but you know your client is being taken care of.
- When selling the property becomes a conversation, your name stays at the center of it.
Why Agents Refer to HubKey
Agents refer clients to HubKey because we understand the position you are in.
Licensing and Compliance Expertise
Mike Goldstein, CEO of Hubkey, has been managing properties since 2008 and understands how complicated Philadelphia’s rental laws can be. We handle licensing and compliance proactively so your clients stay protected.
Integrity and Clear Communication
We operate locally, communicate clearly, and manage properties the way an owner would expect.
Respect for Client Relationship
Most importantly, we respect the role you play in your client’s long-term plans. When your client sells or purchases another investment property, the relationship comes back to you.
Referral Bonus
As a thank you for the introduction, we also provide a $250 referral bonus for each client who signs a management agreement.
Bring Mike to Your Office
Many agents work with investor clients but do not always have time to stay current on Philadelphia’s rental laws, zoning rules, and compliance requirements.
Mike’s “How to Lord a Land” presentation is designed to arm your team with practical knowledge so they can confidently sell more investment properties.
Topics include:
- How to identify if the property is a good deal
- Zoning and confirming permitted rental use
- Philadelphia rental licensing and lead certification requirements
- Lease compliance and required documentation
- Fair housing
- Maintenance systems
- Eviction diversion protections
- Property bookkeeping
The goal is simple. When an agent understands rental licensing, zoning, lease requirements, and real-world management realities, they can speak intelligently to investors and win more business.
Mike will come to your office, provide lunch, and walk your team through what landlording in Philadelphia actually looks like today.
No sales pitch. Just practical education your agents can use immediately.
