The Knotty Lumber Co. Β· Real Estate Program Β· Hamilton, Ontario

The code gets around. So does your name.

The Knotty Lumber Co. Real Estate Program gives agents and brokerages a branded discount code clients actually share: 10% off for them with 10% back to you β€” or 15%, all of it to them. Good for custom furniture, mantels and feature walls β€” built in Hamilton and shipped across Ontario and the country. No expiry, nothing to administer, and every time it's passed along, your name goes with it.

For you 10% back on every sale

On the Ambassador 10/10 track (agents only), your branded code earns you 10% of every net sale, paid monthly by e-Transfer.

For your clients 15% off, forever

A branded code with your name on it. No expiry, no usage limit β€” it gets passed friend to friend, and keeps working years after the close.

For your closings Gifts at agent pricing

Handcrafted cutting boards in domestic and exotic hardwoods, priced so gifting one on every close is easy.

How the Real Estate Program works

Three steps. Nothing to administer.

We build custom hardwood furniture, mantels, river tables and feature walls in our own Hamilton shop β€” exactly what new homeowners commission in their first year. Your code puts your name on that moment. Marketing yourself is expensive; this is marketing your clients thank you for β€” a code that gets passed around, carrying your name with it.

Step 01

You get a personal code

We create a branded code with your name on it β€” yours forever, no expiry, no usage caps. Brokerage-wide codes are available too.

Step 02

You put it everywhere

Text it, post it, print it. Your one-pager carries your code, a QR quoting link, and how-it-works β€” built to be screenshotted and shared. Open houses, closing gifts, listing packets, your feeds: every share is your branding in circulation.

Step 03

Your client mentions it

When they request a quote for a mantel, a table, or a feature wall, they mention your code with their project. The discount lands on their invoice β€” with your name printed right on it.

Two ways to join

Every code is branded with your name. You hold one β€” not both.

Both options are the same Real Estate Program: a code carrying your name, no expiry, nothing to administer β€” and yours to distribute anywhere. Post it on social, drop it in listing packets, add it to your email signature: every share puts your branding in front of a future homeowner. You choose one code: Ambassador 10/10 (agents only) or the 15 (an agent or a whole brokerage). Never both, and discounts never stack.

Option 1 Β· Agents only

Ambassador 10/10

Your clients save, and your code pays you too.

  • Your clients get 10% off every quoted project.
  • You earn 10% of every net sale made with your code.
  • Paid monthly by Interac e-Transfer, the month after the sale.
  • No expiry, no caps β€” the code works for anyone, forever.

Referral income may need disclosure under your brokerage's rules β€” check yours, or choose the 15% option instead.

Option 2 Β· Agent or brokerage

15 β€” all to your client

The deepest discount, every point of it to your client.

  • Your clients get 15% off every quoted project.
  • No commission to you β€” all of the value goes to your client.
  • Typically nothing for your brokerage to approve: no referral income involved.
  • Issued to an agent or brokerage-wide β€” never alongside a 10/10 code. No expiry, no caps.

The favourite for office-wide rollouts β€” a standing favour to every client, and a code that gets passed along.

Codes apply to quoted custom work. Discounts don't stack: one code per project, never combined with other offers or with each other. Each member holds one code β€” Ambassador 10/10 or the 15, not both. No expiry date β€” program subject to change.

The closing gift line

The gift that carries your name into their kitchen.

Program members buy our handcrafted cutting boards at agent pricing β€” domestic hardwoods like walnut, maple, cherry and ash, or exotics like padauk, canarywood and black limba. Premium, local, personal, and priced so gifting one on every close is an easy habit.

Give one on every close and let your code do the rest. Months or years later, when they're ready for the mantel or the dining table, it's your code they use β€” and your name they remember.

Join the program
Paid like clockwork

Real money, on a schedule you can bank on.

Ambassador 10/10 payouts aren't points or store credit. On a $900 mantel-and-shelves job, your code pays you $90 β€” cash. Here's how it runs.

Monthly e-Transfer Sales this month, paid next month

Every sale your code touched is tallied at month-end and e-Transferred the following month. No thresholds to chase, no portal to log into.

Quarterly summary Proof your code is working

Every quarter you get a summary of your code's activity β€” how many projects, how much value β€” so you know your name is circulating.

Privacy, both ways Your clients stay yours

We never share your clients' names, contacts or project details with anyone β€” and we never ask you for your contact list. The program runs on the code alone.

What you receive

One page. That's the whole program.

No binders, no boxes of cards, nothing to stock. You get a personalized one-pager β€” a PDF you can print, text, or post β€” with everything a client needs.

Your branded code

Front and centre, with your name on it. Active immediately, never expires.

QR + quoting link

Scans straight to our quote request page β€” your client just mentions your code with their project.

How it works

Three lines your client can follow: request a free quote, give your code, save.

Closing gift info

Real Estate Program β€” common questions

The fine print, in plain language.

Does my code ever expire?

No. Your code has no expiry date and no usage limit β€” a client can use it this month or three years after their close. (Like any program, terms can change, but codes don't quietly die.)

Does my brokerage need to approve this?

The 15% option involves no referral income, so there's typically nothing to approve β€” all value goes to your client. Ambassador 10/10 pays you, which some brokerages ask you to disclose; check your office's rules or simply choose the 15% option.

Can I have both codes?

No β€” you hold one: Ambassador 10/10 (agents only) or the 15 (an agent or a whole brokerage). And discounts never stack: one code per project, whichever code your client gives.

How does my client actually use the code?

They request a free quote at our project quote page and mention your code when they tell us about the project. The discount is applied to their invoice β€” with your code printed on it.

Do my clients have to be near Hamilton?

No. Everything is built in our Hamilton shop and shipped across Ontario and the rest of Canada β€” so your code works wherever the deal closes, and wherever your clients land next.

What does the program cost me?

Nothing. The code and your one-pager are free. The only thing you ever pay for is a closing gift you choose to buy β€” at agent pricing.

Can our whole office join?

Yes β€” we onboard brokerages as a group: a branded code and personalized one-pager for every opted-in agent, emailed within days. No meetings required.
