Real Estate Agent Reference Form

When hiring a real estate agent, brokerages need more than just a resume—they need verified insights into sales performance, client relationships, ethical conduct, and market expertise. This Real Estate Agent Reference Form is designed specifically for real estate brokerages and property management firms conducting thorough reference checks on prospective agents.

Built with Paperform, this template streamlines the reference verification process by gathering structured, actionable feedback from previous brokers, team leaders, and supervisors. The form covers all critical evaluation areas including sales metrics, client satisfaction ratings, adherence to ethical standards, negotiation skills, and local market knowledge—helping you make confident hiring decisions backed by real data.

The form uses conditional logic to adapt questions based on the referee's relationship to the candidate, ensuring you capture the most relevant insights. Whether you're a boutique agency building a team or a larger brokerage scaling your operations, this reference form helps you maintain high standards and protect your reputation.

Plus, with Stepper, you can automate what happens after submission—route references to your HR system, send follow-up requests if responses are incomplete, or trigger background checks once all references are collected. Everything stays organized, compliant, and moving forward without manual work.

For brokerages that require formal documentation or agent agreements, Papersign lets you convert approved candidates straight into signed employment contracts or independent contractor agreements, keeping the entire hiring workflow in one connected system.
