Real estate agents: Would you recommend this to clients?
Why agents might recommend Cova:
✅ Makes seller financing transactions smoother
Your clients are better organized and less likely to screw up compliance
Reduces post-closing calls about "how do I track payments?"
Professional appearance = happy clients = good reviews for you
✅ Differentiates your services
"I not only help you sell with seller financing, I set you up with affordable tools to manage it"
Becomes part of your value proposition, especially in slow markets where seller financing = more closings
✅ No cost or liability to you
You're recommending a tool, not providing financial/legal advice
Clear disclaimer: "Cova is for payment tracking; consult your attorney/CPA for legal/tax advice"
Free for you to recommend (we might build an affiliate program: $5-10 per signup)
Legitimate concerns we've heard from agents:
⚠️ "I'm not a financial advisor—I don't want liability for recommending financial software"
Totally valid. Our position: Cova is payment tracking software, not financial advice
We provide clear disclaimers and always say "consult your attorney"
Similar to recommending a moving company or home warranty—helpful resource, not professional advice
⚠️ "My clients need attorney-drafted docs, not templates"
Agree 100%. Cova's templates are starting points, not replacements for legal counsel
We actively encourage users to have attorneys review everything
Value is post-closing: tracking payments, generating tax forms, staying organized
⚠️ "What if Cova shuts down and my client loses their payment records?"
Users can export complete payment history and documents anytime (CSV + PDF)
We're not holding data hostage—you own your information
Even if we disappeared tomorrow (we won't!), your records are safe
What would make agents confident recommending Cova:
💡 Co-branded materials - "Recommended by [Your Brokerage]" landing page with your logo
💡 Agent dashboard - See which of your clients are using Cova (with permission), make sure they're set up correctly
💡 Referral commission - Small ongoing commission ($2-3/month) for each client you refer
💡 White-glove onboarding - We hop on a 15-min call with your client to ensure setup is correct
💡 Professional liability insurance - We carry E&O insurance (already have it)
Question for agents in the community:
Would you recommend Cova to seller-financing clients? Why or why not?
What would make you comfortable doing so?
Would a 20-30% referral commission be interesting, or does that create weird incentives?
We want to be a resource for agents, not a liability. Your feedback helps us get this right.
