Excerpt: Map your transaction onto milestones once — HipPocket delivers every referral to the right partner at the right moment, with two-way confirmation.

---

Every agent knows the feeling. You’re three days from closing, juggling the lender, the inspector and a nervous buyer — and somewhere in the back of your mind a voice says: didn’t I promise to connect them with an insurance guy?

You did. Two weeks ago. And now it’s a scramble.

That mental checklist is exactly what Partner Connect was built to delete.

What it does

Partner Connect lets you map a transaction onto a milestone timeline — under contract, inspection, pre-closing, closing — and attach a partner to each milestone. From that moment, HipPocket takes over:

• Day 0 — Under contract. Your lender gets the referral the moment the transaction opens.
• Day 7 — Inspection. Your contractor is looped in automatically.
• Day 21 — Pre-closing. The homeowner’s insurance referral goes out before the closing crunch.
• Day 30 — Closing. The deal closes, your balance is credited. No spreadsheets, no chasing.

Every referral is delivered by both email and SMS, so partners see it wherever they work.

The part that actually matters: two-way acknowledgment

Automatic sending is only half the problem. The other half is silence — you sent the referral, but did anyone pick it up?

With Partner Connect, partners confirm receipt, and that confirmation shows up right in your pipeline. If a referral sits unacknowledged, you know about it while there’s still time to act — not after your client called someone from a billboard.

Fully editable, per transaction

The default timeline is a starting point, not a cage. Every transaction is different: cash deals skip the lender, some buyers need a mover, investors want a contractor walk-through before the option period ends. Adjust the milestones, the day offsets and the partners for each deal — the automation follows your plan.

What this means for your business

Referrals are the easiest money in real estate that most agents still leave on the table — not because they don’t want to refer, but because timing referrals across five simultaneous transactions is a memory game nobody wins.

Partner Connect turns it into a system. Set the timeline when the contract is signed, then go do the parts of your job that actually need a human.

Partner Connect is available now for all HipPocket agents. Open your dashboard, pick a transaction and build your first timeline — it takes about two minutes.
