Earn $750 with Ashford Communities’ Resident Referral Program: How It Works

Getting paid to choose your neighbors might sound too good to be true, but at Ashford Communities, it’s just another perk of being part of our family.

Whether you’re living in the heart of Houston or enjoying the pace of San Marcos, we believe that great people build great communities. That’s why we’ve launched our $750 Resident Referral Program for a limited Time, one of the most competitive bonuses in the Texas rental market.

Here is everything you need to know about how you can turn your social circle into extra cash.

Why Refer a Friend to Ashford Communities?

Beyond the financial boost, referring a friend or family member to your community has lifestyle benefits that money can’t buy:

Build Your Own Neighborhood: Imagine having your best friend just a floor away for morning coffee or weekend BBQs.
Trusted Neighbors: You already know and trust the people you refer, which leads to a more harmonious living environment.
High-Quality Living: You aren’t just “selling” an apartment; you’re sharing a lifestyle that includes 24/7 maintenance, resort-style pools, and modern floor plans.

How the $750 Resident Referral Program Works

We’ve made it easier than ever to turn your recommendations into rewards. Follow these four simple steps to secure your limited-time $750 bonus:

Send the Referral (Desktop or Mobile Browser): Log into your Ashford Resident Portal account. Navigate to Community > Referrals and click “Refer a Friend.” > Pro Tip: This feature works best on a desktop, laptop, or your phone’s web browser (Safari/Chrome). It is currently not available on the Resident Portal Mobile App!

Your Friend Signs a Lease: Once you submit the referral, our team will reach out to your friend. To qualify for the bonus, your referral must sign a 12-month lease or longer at any Ashford Communities property.

Complete the Referral Form: After your friend moves in, check your inbox! We will send you a Resident Referral Form via email. Simply fill out this quick Nintex form to officially register your claim for the bonus.

Collect Your $750 Payout: We reward your loyalty in two stages to keep the celebrations going:

The Early Bonus: Receive $200 within 48 hours of your friend’s move-in (provided both accounts are in good standing).
The Milestone Bonus: Receive the remaining $550 after your friend has lived in the community for 90 days.

Key Requirements for a Successful Referral

To ensure your $750 hits your account without a hitch, please keep these “Good Standing” rules in mind:

Lease Term: The referred resident must sign for at least 12 months.
Account Status: Both you and your referred friend must have no delinquency (late payments) during the first 90 days.
Timing: The referral must be submitted through the portal before your friend tours or signs their lease.

Available Across All Our Texas Locations

The best part? This resident referral program isn’t limited to just one building. The $750 bonus applies to all properties within the Ashford Communities portfolio. If you live in Baytown but your friend wants to move to Houston, you still get paid!

Houston: From the Energy Corridor to the Inner Loop.
Austin: Modern living near the tech hubs.
Odessa: Spacious floor plans in the Permian Basin.
Pearland: Suburban luxury with city access.
Baytown: Community-focused living near the coast.
San Marcos: Perfectly located for commuters and students.

Pro-Tips for Successful Referrals

To ensure you get your bonus as quickly as possible, keep these tips in mind:

Share on Social Media: Post a photo of your favorite amenity (like our sparkling pools or fitness centers) and mention the referral bonus.
Host a “Mini-Tour”: Invite your friend over for a meal so they can see the quality of the units and the community vibe firsthand.
Check with the Office: If you have questions about the current status of a referral, our leasing teams in all six cities are ready to help.
