Submit the deal
Fill out the form below, or tell your loan officer directly. Either way works.
We fund the loan
Eastside Funding underwrites and closes with your referral or submitted deal.
You get paid
Payout follows shortly after closing, typically within about a week.
Direct lender, not a broker
Eastside Funding funds every loan itself. That's the difference that matters here.
Why brokers don't need a license to participate
Eastside Funding is a direct private lender, so we fund the loan ourselves rather than arranging financing through a third party. Because you're introducing a deal to a lender rather than originating or arranging the loan yourself, the licensing requirements that apply to traditional mortgage brokering don't apply here. You bring us the deal; we handle underwriting, funding, and servicing.
Common QuestionsReferral & broker program FAQ
Do I need a broker or real estate license to refer a loan in Washington?
No. Neither the Referral Partner Program nor the Broker Program requires a mortgage broker or real estate license, in Washington or any other state.
Is there a cap on how much I can earn?
No, there’s no cap, and no minimum loan size to qualify. You can refer as many first-time clients as you’d like.
How and when do referral partners get paid?
You’re paid after your referral’s loan closes. Timing depends on our accounting team’s processing, but payouts typically go out within about a week of closing.
Can I refer more than once, or is there a limit?
There’s no limit on the number of people you refer. A referral pays out when the person you refer is a first-time Eastside Funding customer.
What if my referral comes back for a second loan later?
The referral reward is paid once, on the first loan. If that client returns for a future loan, it’s no longer a first-time referral.
Who can join — is this only for Washington-based partners?
The Referral Partner Program is open to anyone, anywhere, including out-of-state investors and agents referring Washington deals. The Broker Program is open specifically to loan officers and brokers.
Do I get a unique referral link or code?
No — you can submit a referral through the form below, or simply speak with your Eastside Funding loan officer directly.
