Get Paid to Grow With Us: Inside the EstateSaleFinder Referral Program

Here's the short version: tell one estate sale company about EstateSaleFinder, and we'll pay you $20 a month for as long as they stay a paying member. Not once. Every month. Bring in a Booth Max seller instead and it's $10 a month, same deal. Or if cash isn't your thing, take 30 free days of Pro per referral and keep it simple.

That's the whole pitch. Now let's talk about why we're doing it — and what it could actually add up to for you.

We're growing, and we'd rather grow with you than at you

We'll be honest with you, the way we always try to be in our founders' letter: we are a small team trying to fix two big problems at once.

Problem one: shopping estate sales is harder than it should be. You shouldn't need five websites, a spreadsheet, and a sixth sense to find out whether anyone within 40 miles has the Pyrex pattern you've been hunting for two years.

Problem two: running an estate sale company is brutally hard, and most of the software aimed at these businesses is just a place to post a listing and hope.

We're building the fix for both. But here's the thing nobody tells you about building something for a tight-knit industry: the industry already trusts each other more than it will ever trust an ad. One estate sale company telling another "hey, this actually works" does more than any amount of money we could throw at Facebook.

So instead of throwing that money at Facebook, we decided to throw it at you.

The two ways to get rewarded

You pick. There's no wrong answer, and you can start with one and switch later.

Someone signs up with your link and becomes a paying member? You get 30 days of Pro, free. No paperwork, no tax forms, nothing to sign. It just lands in your account.

Perfect if you're already paying for Pro and you'd rather stack up free months than deal with anything resembling an invoice.

This is the new one, and it's the fun one.

Same $20 whether they're on the $99, $149, or $199 plan. We're not going to make you memorize a rate card.

The word doing the heavy lifting in that table is recurring. This isn't a one-time thank-you. As long as the company you referred is paying, you're getting paid, month after month, with nothing more for you to do.

Okay, but what does that actually add up to?

Let's do the math out loud, because this is the part that surprises people. Say you refer estate sale companies on $99+ plans at $20 a month each:

And because it stacks, month twelve looks nothing like month one:

Who can do this? Basically anyone with an account

You don't have to run an estate sale company. You don't need a following. You need an EstateSaleFinder account and someone to tell.

The people who tend to do really well with this:

If you're already the person people ask "hey, who should I use for this?" — you're already doing the work. You might as well get paid for it.

Exactly how it works, start to finish

No mystery boxes. Here's every step.

1. Open Referrals & Earnings in your dashboard, and pick free months or cash.
2. If you pick cash, sign the short agreement. Plain English, versioned, and you can read it before you sign. You also tell us how you'd like to be paid — Zelle or a mailed check.
3. Share your link. Every click is tracked and attributed to you for 90 days, so the person you told last month still counts when they finally sign up.
4. They start a trial. Nothing accrues yet — trials are free, and we only pay on real revenue.
5. They convert to a paying plan. Now the meter starts. $20 (or $10 for Booth Max) posts to your dashboard.
6. It posts again next month. And the next. Automatically, for as long as they keep paying.
7. We pay you once your unpaid balance reaches $20. Under $20 just rolls over to next month — nothing is ever lost or expired.
8. Add your tax details in the dashboard before your first payment. Required, takes a minute, and if you cross $600 in a calendar year we'll issue you a 1099-NEC like any legitimate business would.

Transparency, because this is money and money deserves receipts

We're a little obsessive about this part. Your Referrals & Earnings dashboard shows you:

The honest fine print

Every referral program has rules. Most of them hide them. Here are ours, in the open:

Why we think you'll actually be proud to share this

Look — we wouldn't ask you to put your name on something mediocre.

When you send an estate sale company our way, they get Ai item pricing built from real sold data, a full client CRM and pipeline, a pre-sale walkthrough that tells them whether a job is worth signing before they sign it, a marketing report tailored to their actual inventory, and a social media studio that turns one photo into a week of posts. They keep 0% commission — we never take a cut of their sales. And they get in front of a whole new generation of buyers who search by keyword and get wishlist alerts instead of scrolling through a thousand photos of coffee mugs.

If you want the long version of why companies switch, we wrote that up too.

And when you tell a shopper about us, they get the thing we all wanted in the first place: an actual map of the good sales, searchable down to the item.

Come build this with us

Every good thing starts with a small group of people who showed up early and told a friend. That's genuinely where we are right now — sales going up city by city, companies joining every week, and a map that gets fuller every single day because of people like you.

We want the estate sale industry to be easier to shop and easier to run. We can't do that from a desk in three states by ourselves. So this is our way of saying: help us, and we'll cut you in.

Open Referrals & Earnings and grab your link. It takes about two minutes, and the first $20 is closer than you think.
