Good news! You can join Skylight for free. Skylight takes a lease processing fee on each commission that it sends to your brokerage.
Select and Connect are the two main products offered by Skylight to help real estate agents work with property management companies.
With Select, you get to partner directly with specific property managers. These property managers will then provide you with exclusive leads from their advertising and marketing efforts. It's an agent-centric model where the property managers hand-pick the agents they want to work with and share leads with.
Connect, on the other hand, is an platform for management companies to advertise their vacant units and potential fees to real estate agents. Here, you can search for and connect with available property listings from participating management companies. However, you don't receive direct leads. Think of it like a listing service where you can find and engage with properties yourself.
It depends on which Skylight product you're using – Select or Connect. With Select, you may receive leads directly from the property management companies you've been selected to work with. These leads come from the advertising and marketing efforts of those property managers. With Connect, you won't receive leads directly from Skylight. Instead, Connect allows you to search and connect with available listings from participating management companies.
Unfortunately, Skylight is only for licensed real estate agents.
Skylight sends leasing commission directly to your real estate brokerage.
