Recommend MeaReal and earn money as
long as your client pays
No multi-level networks, no quotas, no sign-up fees. A single rate on every payment your client makes, time and time again, month after month.
You can become a partner via your MeaReal current account. No need to log in again.
Who would find this useful?
The programme isn’t for everyone. It works where you already have people who advertise property and for whom taking photos is a routine part of their job.
Head of a estate agency
You have estate agents working under you who take their own photos. You give the code to the whole office and the commission goes to you.
Property photographer
You take photos for twenty offices. Send the ones that can’t afford the editing costs here.
Property developer and manager
You have both flats and commercial premises on offer, and you know which estate agents you use to advertise them.
Group or profile administrator
Do you run a group of estate agents, a channel or a profile where people are given advice on what camera to use and how to advertise?
The rate increases with the number of clients
It all comes down to the number of your paying clients - nothing else. Once you exceed the threshold, the higher rate applies to your entire portfolio, including the clients you brought in at the start.
The examples are based on the Advanced package at €69 per month. The actual commission depends on which package your client chooses.
How much is that in money?

The calculator provides an estimate based on a monthly subscription. It does not guarantee any earnings, but simply calculates the rates based on the programme’s terms and conditions.
How you will receive your reward
You choose once, and you can change it at any time.
In cash
Once a month, we’ll let you know what you’re due; you’ll send us an invoice and we’ll pay it. You’ll need a trade licence or a business to do this.
- Pay once a month
- From €50; any amount below this will be carried over to the following month
- You are responsible for sorting out your own tax; we are not your employer
In credits
You’ll receive your reward in the form of credits for your own photos, and you’ll get 40 per cent more than their cash value. You don’t need a business licence or an invoice for this.
- €100 in rewards = 140 credits
- Commission credits do not expire
- No minimum amount required to trigger an invoice
Four steps
-
1
Log in to the programme
One button on the dashboard. You’ll be given your own code, for example meareal.com/p/HIRJAK, and you can change the code to anything you can remember.
-
2
Send a link or dictate the code
The link is valid for 90 days. Anyone who doesn’t use the link can enter the code manually during registration, so you won’t miss out on the referral even if your client has disabled cookies.
-
3
The customer buys a package
He’ll receive 15 extra credits in the first month, so your referral has paid off for him. You’ll be credited with a commission.
-
4
The fee is paid as long as the client pays
From every subsequent payment. If the client stops paying, the commission stops. That’s why it’s worth recommending this to someone who will genuinely benefit from it.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are also the programme’s rules in their entirety. There is nothing else in the terms and conditions.
How much can you earn through the MeaReal affiliate programme?
You receive 20 to 35 per cent of every payment made by a customer you refer, on a recurring basis for as long as they continue to pay. With the Advanced package at €69 per month, this amounts to €86.25 per month for five customers, €310.50 for fifteen, and €724.50 for thirty. On top of that, you’ll receive a one-off payment of €15 for every customer who makes a second payment.
Is it an MLM or a pyramid scheme?
No. The programme has a single tier, and you have no one below or above you. Your reward is calculated solely on the basis of the customers you bring in, and does not depend in any way on how many other partners you recruit into the programme. That is precisely why it is structured this way: a reward system based on recruiting other people is a pyramid scheme, which is prohibited under the Consumer Protection Act.
Do I need to be self-employed to receive a commission?
No. If you do not have a trade licence, you will receive your payment in credits for your own photographs, at a value 40 per cent higher than the cash amount: a payment of €100 is equivalent to 140 credits. If you have a trade licence or a business, you can choose to be paid in cash on the basis of an invoice that you issue to us.
How much does it cost to join the programme?
Nothing. There’s no entry fee for the programme, you don’t have to buy anything, and you don’t need a paid subscription. You can become a partner from your standard MeaReal account with a single click in the dashboard; you don’t need to log in separately.
How long is my referral link valid for?
90 days from the click. If, in the meantime, the customer clicks on another affiliate’s link, the last one counts. The attribution takes place once, when the customer registers, and does not change thereafter.
Does the recommendation still work if the customer does not allow cookies?
Yes. When registering, there is a field for the referral code, and this is filled in automatically from your link, even without a single cookie. Anyone who has received your code verbally or from a leaflet can write it in by hand, and it works just the same.
When will my commission be paid?
The reward is credited as soon as the customer makes a payment and can be withdrawn after 14 days. This is the period during which the customer may withdraw from the contract. We send cash payments once a month from €50; any amount below this is carried over to the following month. There is no minimum amount for payments in credits.
What happens when we refund a customer?
The bonus from that payment will be forfeited. If it has already been paid out, it will be deducted from your next pay packet. We will never claim anything from you beyond your future bonuses.
Will I receive a commission on my own subscription?
No. Commission is not calculated on your own subscription or on an account linked to the same email address. Commission is only calculated on the amount actually paid by another customer, i.e. after any discounts.
What is a partner not allowed to do?
Impersonating MeaReal, attributing features to the service that it does not have, purchasing adverts using our trade name, and sending unsolicited emails. We will terminate the programme for such behaviour, but we will pay out any rewards accrued up to that date.
The binding version can be found in clause 11 of the terms and conditions.
Why is there no net beneath you?
Because it’s not a good deal for either you or us. A reward that depends on how many other people you recruit into the scheme is, under the Consumer Protection Act, a pyramid scheme, and that is prohibited. And even if it weren’t: the money in it doesn’t come from sales, but from the people who joined last.
It’s simpler here. One rate, your clients, your money. If we bring in more clients together, we’ll both earn more. If not, nobody loses out.
Start with one client
You don’t need to convince anyone. Just send the link to someone who’s already editing their own photos and finds it time-consuming.
