Kickbacks are ILLEGAL! So here's the truth behind my referrals...
Dawn Nuzzi from Raleigh NC posted this excellent blog about referrals that we regularly give to our clients:
Apparently I get rather entusiastic about my referrals. I've been asked by many, "So how much do you get out of it?". People are shocked when I explain to them that I am not given anything when they use someone I refer - such as the lender or attorney or whoever. It is ILLEGAL to accept anything!!!
But here's what I do get that you can't put a price on....I get the satisfaction of knowing my client is being well taken care of! And yes, I'm also excited to pass something along to someone I have worked with before and had a pleasant experience. I enjoy helping other people in their business also!
And if it happens to be a client I am in the middle of a transaction with... Ok, I am the first to admit, I am a control freak. There I said it! If you're using someone I recommend as your attorney, inspector, or mortgage broker, then I know that professional is going to be communicating with me every step of the way and there will be no gaps in communication. I know I won't have any problems reaching that person at any given time, although more than likely I won't even have to, as they will have already contacted me with any issues or concerns that comes up on their end.
Referrals are not about what I get...referrals are all about how my clients benefit and peace of mind!
