REFERRALS ON ACTIVE RAIN - NEED SOME DEFINITIONS -UPDATE

By
Real Estate Agent

I posted this blog yesterday but I only got one response.  I'm sure the timing is off and you missed it.  For some veterans on AR out there, how do you define referral on AR?  In the circumstance below, are these alerts consider referral.  Thanks for your help

"I'm new to AR and the last two days I got three referral alerts.  One from an agent selling a house about 12 miles from my area with a referral fee of 0%.  The other two are from one agent selling two houses in an area about 8 miles from my area with a referral fee of 2%.   These three properties are in the Multiple Listing Service of my local board.  Are these consider referrals? I always thought referrals are for properties out of town.  Am I wrong?   If I have a customer looking for properties in these areas, all I have to do is go to MLS.  Referral does not play a part on these scenarios.  They are not referring a listing or a buyer to me.   I need some definitions so I can reply to these two referral alerts."
