Why Here, Not the Big Boxes
Four reasons vendors stick with us.
Two-Way Flywheel
We refer you to our clients. You refer your clients to us when they're ready to buy or sell. Mutually useful, no exclusivity demand.
No Fees, No Kickbacks
We never charge vendors to be in the rotation. We never accept kickbacks for referrals. Pure quality-based, the same fee philosophy we extend to clients.

The Process, Honestly
How partnerships actually work.
Tell Shannon about your business.
Category, service area, years in business, and what makes your work different. Call, email, or the form below — all reach the same inbox.
We do a working-relationship trial.
A few mutual referrals to test fit. Your clients hear from us when they're ready to buy or sell. Our clients hear from you when they need your category.
If it clicks, you stay in the rotation.
Repeat referrals, repeat opportunities. No fees, no kickbacks, no exclusivity demand — just quality-based mutual recommendation.
The Standards
What we expect from partners.
We’re straight about this on call one. Three things, nothing complicated:
- Stand behind your work. We'll happily refer; we won't keep referring after a bad client experience.
- Honor the same-day response standard. Our clients call you because we vouched — honor that with response time.
- Quote what you'll deliver. No upsell tricks at the project mid-point. We hear about every dispute, so transparency keeps the flywheel turning.
Match those, and you stay in the rotation. Talk to Shannon: (701) 491-2000
What “Good Vendor Work” Sounds Like
The standard our clients describe.
One verified review. Your work is what helps us deliver this kind of experience — and what earns you repeat referrals.
“I definitely felt like they put my needs first. This team is the best, and from my personal experience I will be choosing them on my next home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
Translate that to: when our clients work with your team, they should feel the same way. That’s what gets you in the regular rotation.
Who you’ll work with
Jim & Shannon, directly.
No partnership coordinator. No vendor manager. The brokers themselves — same two on every closing.
