Real estate agents: Would you recommend this to clients?

by

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.
