Real Lesson to all our fellow Realtors!! True Referral or not....!!!
I want to share with my fellow Realtors a true story that happened to me.  I had a realtor called me and said he can refer someone to me.  He asked me for referral fee and I said  that's fine with me.
I made a BIG mistake. I signed the referral agreement without asking him the name of the prospect.  (He said it was urgent and I just flew back from Hong Kong after 2 weeks of vacation and still had my jet lag.) He said he will fill in the name of prospect for me and sign it and then return the completed from back to me. This Realtor did not call me or email me back anything.  He went silent. I kept waiting for his reply.  (Actually, at that time, the referral agreement was not valid since he never sent me back a signed copy with his signature and the name of the prospect.)
Two weeks later, he called me and said, "Did my customer call you?"  I said, " You never told me the name of the prospect."  Then, he mentioned my friend's name and I was like what??? You are going to refer me my friend that I have been working with for the last 6 months???  This was not the end of the story...
