We believe that best real estate agents seek to make true connections with their clients and seek to invite them into genuine fellowship. It’s not hard to find a top producing real estate agent, but we believe that it is rare to find one that truly puts their client’s interests above their own. We’ve all met sales people that pretend to be interested in you but are ultimately just looking for a commission. We believe that Christ-following real estate agents that really “get it”, understand that their profession is a calling and that people always come before commissions.

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” Phillipians 2:3

Real estate agents are working in the industry every day. Many get so used to the process that they forget that for their clients, buying and selling is a very significant life event! In fact, some studies have shown that moving is the 3rd most stressful event in life, only behind death (#1), and divorce (#2). Our heart for the clients we refer is that they will get not only a very high level of service, but a brother or sister in Christ that will empathize with the immense stresses, emotions, and financial burdens/decisions that come with purchasing or selling a home. A godly real estate agent will point people to Jesus through the entire process and encourage them along the way.

We believe that the best real estate agents are also advocates. They are not only motivated by monetary compensation, but are committed to passionately champion the needs of the person they are representing and will go above and beyond the professional relationship to personally support them in every way possible.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Prov 3:5-6

For some people, moving is just another season of life. For believers, a move is an exciting adventure in trusting God and an exercise in submitting your life to His will and leading. Real estate agents are in a unique position to witness first hand the ways in which God moves to direct people according to His plan for their lives. As real estate agents, we love when we get the opportunity to help people realize that God has a special assignment for them in the places where they are planted. There is a wonderful book on the subject that we highly recommend called Placed for a Purpose.

We believe that the best real estate agents are trusted advisors. That they carefully lay out options and provide godly wisdom and counsel based on experience and they operate in the best interest of each client.

“Man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” Proverbs 16:9

“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14

It goes without saying that buying or selling property is the largest transaction most people will make in their lifetime. These are decisions that could have life-long financial impact. Working with a real estate agent that understands the importance of stewarding wisely the resources that God has given is critical.

"So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?" Luke 16:11

We believe that the best real estate agents are trustworthy. That they will do the right thing even when no one is looking, and will seek to always let their yes be yes, and their no, no. We believe the best real estate agents are also the ones that are always striving to be the best in their field. With a desire to honor God in everything they do, they are always learning, always growing, and always reaching for excellence.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” Colossians 3:23

No! The members of our Network represent hundreds of different brokerages around the country and the brokerage you are under makes no difference in terms of participation or ability to receive referrals.

Every day, people from around the country make requests on Hismove.com for a Christian real estate agent. We assign these requests to our agent members in the form of a referral. Members are asked to pay a 25% referral fee (before broker splits, on your side of the transaction) upon a successful closing.

Members can send/receive referrals to/from other CREN members at any time. The referral fee is negotiated directly between members (no extra fees paid to CREN)

No, we only assign one member per request and we do everything possible to facilitate a one-to-one connection between a client and agent to give both parties the best experience possible.

No, the Christian Real Estate Network is a private database of agents and your profile is not publicly accessible.

We do screen out any obvious spam requests, but otherwise work as quickly as possible to get both parties connected and engaged without doing extensive pre-screening or pre-qualification. The Christian Real Estate Network is not a lead generation service. We work with real people that are looking for Christian agents they can trust. In some cases, a client may not be ready to buy/sell, but our philosophy is that we want to be available to help everyone, even if it is just to provide them with godly counsel and prayer even though there may be no commission involved.

All referrals are made from a licensed Broker. Each referral is assigned to one agent exclusively (you do not have to compete with other CREN members). Upon closing of a referral, we ask for a 25% referral fee (before any broker splits, on your side of the transaction).
