I’m in CA. 2026 I want to offer past clients a cash reward ($500 maybe $1000) for referrals after close. Any ideas how to word this or go about this while not officially breaking any laws? I read somewhere, you can offer up to $500 in California. I’m assuming this is false information.

Pretty sure that $500 limit thing is BS, I’ve never seen that in any CA real estate law. You’d probably want to run this by your broker first since they’re the ones who’d get in trouble if something goes sideways
Don’t. Let your integrity and your attention to your client speak for itself. Breaking the law is not the issue here. It seems unprofessional, desperate, and diminishing.
This is what your broker is for. Ask them.
