How does this program work within RESPA?
Gas South Real Estate Partner Program does not violate the provisions of RESPA as natural gas services do not qualify Gas South as a "settlement service provider."

What is a successful referral?
A successful referral occurs when a homebuyer clicks your provided unique link and enrolls as a Gas South customer online. Your $50 reward will be directly deposited to either your PayPal or personal bank account once the enrollment process is complete.
How many referrals can I make?
There is no limit to the number of referrals you may make. You will receive $50 for any homebuyer who clicks your shared link and enrolls with Gas South online. So, if you refer two people and they both enroll with Gas South, you will receive $100, and so on!
What if my homebuyer doesn’t use the internet?
Although sharing your unique link is the most efficient means of executing referrals, when you have a homebuyer who must call in, have them call 888-965-3494, mention promo code WELCOME, and ensure they have your name and are able to spell it correctly.

How do I track my referrals?
Within the portal, on the left-hand toolbar click “Stats.” From this page, you are able to track shares and clicks on your unique links to inform you of how much interest you are getting and which times and social media/email channels are working best for you. You are also able to monitor individual commissions and pay-out data. Also, the system will email you when you earn a commission to keep you up to date!

Note: shares made outside of the portal will not be captured in your stats.
Am I able to refer renters?
This program is designed for homebuyers, and not for rental properties.
Hints and tips on referring
Recommend Gas South face-to-face first, then follow up by sharing your unique link so their enrollment is credited to you seamlessly.

Use all available assets and digital channels available to you.

Share often, as Tweets and Facebook posts are typically engaged with for only 18 minutes and 90 minutes respectively after being posted.
How can I access marketing assets provided by Gas South?
Within the portal, choose "Assets" from the left-hand menu. Be sure to check this tab often, as we are always uploading new materials to share with your clients.
