Three Steps to Start Tracking Your Network

Build Your Roster

Add your trusted landscapers, mechanics, contractors, and service pros in minutes. No complicated setup—just names, numbers, and specialties.

📱

Share Your Link

Send clients your branded Hootova page via text, email, or social media. Print business cards with your QR code, or share it during closing conversations.

📊

Track Every Referral

See who's viewing your roster, which vendors clients are contacting, and when requests happen. Finally know what your network is worth.

You Get Paid Based on Your Reach.

When clients view your Hootova roster, you earn based on monthly page visits—just like an influencer gets paid for reach, but for your local network.

Here's the key difference: You're not just getting paid to send a name. You're compensated for curating quality, holding vendors accountable, and protecting your clients from bad service. If a vendor underperforms, your reputation is on the line—so you only refer pros you trust.

💰

Transparent Compensation

Your clients know you're compensated by Hootova to ensure quality recommendations. It's disclosed upfront, so there's no hidden agenda—just honest curation.

🎯

Vendor Accountability

When a client reaches out, the vendor is notified who referred them. They know you're watching, which creates built-in quality control.

Your Reputation, Your Standards

If a vendor screws up, your client can reach out to you directly. You control who stays on your roster, so you're incentivized to recommend only the best.

Not Just for Agents. For Anyone with Local Influence.

If people ask you for recommendations—whether you're a real estate agent, apartment manager, barista, or just the person everyone calls for advice—Hootova turns your network into income.

Real Estate Agents

Your clients need contractors, landscapers, and mechanics long after closing. Get paid to connect them with pros you trust.

Apartment Complex Managers

Tenants constantly ask for vendor recommendations. Share your Hootova roster and earn when they book services.

Local Business Owners

Coffee shops, gyms, salons—print your QR code on receipts or post it in-store. When customers need a plumber or electrician, they scan, book, and you earn.

Community Connectors

If you're the person friends call for recommendations, turn your social capital into trackable income.

How This Protects Your Clients (Not Just You)

When your client contacts a vendor through Hootova, the vendor is notified exactly who referred them. They know you're watching. They know your reputation is tied to their performance. This creates built-in accountability that a random Google search or Yelp listing can't provide.

Full Transparency with Your Clients

"Hey, just a heads up—I'm compensated by Hootova to ensure these vendors provide the best service possible. It's my job to make sure they're treating you right. If your experience is anything less than great, please let me know immediately."

Why This Works:

  • Makes your role clear (you're a quality curator, not a middleman)
  • Gives clients permission to hold vendors accountable through you
  • Positions compensation as a service (ensuring quality) rather than a kickback (pushing random vendors)

Yes, You Get Paid. Here's Why It's Compliant.

Hootova compensates you for curating and maintaining a quality vendor network—similar to how influencers earn affiliate income. The key difference: this isn't a settlement service kickback.

We focus exclusively on general service providers (landscapers, mechanics, contractors, electricians) that are outside RESPA's scope. You're not getting paid for referring lenders or title companies—you're earning income for connecting clients with trusted local pros and holding those pros accountable.

Agents Are Finally Getting Credit for Their Networks

"I've been referring the same landscaper for 8 years, but had no idea how many of my clients actually called him. Now I can see it in real time—and it's way more than I thought."
— Sarah M., Keller Williams
"I was worried about compliance, but Hootova makes it so simple. No kickbacks, no gray areas—just a professional way to share my trusted vendors."
— Mike D., RE/MAX
"Set it up in 5 minutes, sent the link to my last 50 clients, and already had 12 people view my roster. This is genius."
— Jennifer L., Coldwell Banker

Your Network Is Worth More Than You Think.
