For real estate professionals
How realtors can add commercial energy services
Commercial accounts only — no residential supply. Your commercial tenants and owners must choose an electricity supplier. Being the person who handles it earns goodwill — and an upfront commission.
Real estate is transactional; energy is recurring. Every commercial lease you close in a deregulated state creates a supply decision at the meter, and every multifamily or mixed-use owner you serve is carrying commercial common-area load they have probably never shopped. Keystone places commercial contracts only — residential supply is not something we sell. Adding commercial energy procurement gives you a reason to stay in the relationship between transactions, and a commission stream that does not depend on your next closing.
Lease-up timing
New tenants must establish supply before the utility default rate applies. That window is the highest-value energy conversation in real estate.
Owner portfolios
Common-area meters, vacant-unit load, and multi-property portfolios can be aggregated into one competitive tender.
Renewal calendar
Contracts expire on a schedule. Owning that calendar keeps you in front of the client every 12–36 months.
Where realtors find energy deals without prospecting
You are not cold calling. The opportunities are already inside your pipeline and your past-client database.
- Commercial tenants signing a new lease or renewal
- Multifamily and mixed-use owners with commercial common-area house meters
- Investors acquiring commercial property — supply must be re-established at closing
- Property management clients across an entire commercial managed portfolio
- Retail, restaurant, and office tenants renewing an expiring supplier contract
How you get paid
Compensation comes from the supplier margin, expressed in mils per kWh, not from your client's pocket. Referral partners share the commission on every enrolled contract; realtors who join as full agents earn a 50/50 split and can present pricing themselves.
All commissions are paid upfront as a lump sum at contract execution — no waiting on monthly payouts.
Protecting your relationship
We work as an independent advisor, not a single-supplier reseller. Your client sees a competitive comparison across 25+ suppliers with the contract terms explained in plain English, and you stay the trusted party who brought it to them. We do not market other services to your clients.
Frequently asked questions
Can a licensed realtor legally earn energy commissions?
In most states, yes — energy referral or broker compensation is separate from real estate commission and is paid by the supplier. Check your brokerage's policy on outside business activity, and we will confirm the energy registration rules for your state.
How does energy fit into a commercial lease transaction?
Every new tenant in a deregulated state must establish supply for their meter. That moment — before the utility default rate kicks in — is the single best time to lock a competitive contract.
Do you handle residential accounts?
No. Keystone Energy Advisors places commercial energy contracts only — we do not sell residential supply. Eligible accounts are commercially metered: offices, retail, restaurants, industrial sites, and commercial common-area or house meters on multifamily properties.
How much time does it take?
Minutes per client. You forward a bill or make an introduction; we handle the audit, tender, contract, and ongoing service.
Do I have to become a broker?
No. Realtors can join as referral partners and simply share commission, or become full agents if they want to quote and present pricing themselves.

Commercial accounts only. Refer or produce — either way, it takes minutes per client and pays upfront in a lump sum at contract execution.
