Agents, PLEASE give feedback to other agents who give you a referral!!!

It's so simple but I have run into this problem too many times...  If an agent gives you a referral, make sure to give feedback on a regular basis.  I am NOT a nagging person at all but when I do send a referral to someone, I do like a checkup periodically. The reason I'm writing this is because I gave a referral to an agent last week. The client was there this week so I wanted to see how their meeting went.  Have emailed twice, called three times while leaving a voice mail once, and no response.  uuurrrgghh.  All I want is a email, text, phone call,  not even five precious minutes of their time....The sad thing is it's an agent right across the state line which I would send a lot of referrals to over the years.  They don't know they missed out by not servicing my first referral right and the thing which really makes me mad is the client is an acquaintance of mine which will also buy real estate here if I haven't lost their confidence by now. 

Point of the story, be very careful who you refer to and also service your referrals the best you can!

Frustrating!

Great post Jay. I am very hesitant to refer anyone to my friends, family or clients. The only one you can trust is you and that's it.

You never know what will happen the minute someone else is in the picture.  I got slammed by a realtor to my client that I refered him to, never again
