AR Referrals/Homegain

I just completed a blog entry regarding the progress of results that we're delivering from the nwRealty Network and was wondering if anyone is getting results from the AR Referrals system. I gave it a try when it first launched without many bites from agents and brokers in Washington State. Is anyone using the system realizing anything in the way of referral fees?

Regarding Homegain (hated by some & loved by others) ... I found that they offer $15 per lead that they in turn sell to their customers. This prompts me to ask "How much are Homegain customers paying?" $15 seems like a premium price for them to pay at the wholesale level.

Thanks!

Larry do what others real estate agents do on this site when it comes to lead generation companies. STAY AWAY! PLEASE. THEY SUCK. The same lead that they sell to you,is being sold to four or more other real estate agents. Think I am lying,please ask the brilliant and creative minds on this site. Heck,check out some of my blogs on this topic. Great post.

As far as AR referrals I was also not aware of how they worked. I will check out the horizontal menu at the top and see if I can figure it out. Almost all my business comes from referrals so I would not even consider a referral agency. Besides I have heard most of the referrals are junk!

Homegain doesn't sell exclusive leads. They seem to sell them to as many REALTORS and mortgage reps as possible.
