Are You Ignoring a Great Source of Income?

I've taught a lot of classes, coached a lot of agents and worked with relocation companies. And one thing that always amazes me is that most real estate agents miss out on some of the easiest money in real estate. I'm talking about outbound referrals.

Most agents only send a few referrals to other agents. Why?

Referrals are great business. If you send them through a referral network, such as ActiveRain, you have an excellent chance of receiving a referral check in return. You don't spend countless hours showing buyers or babysitting listings and transactions. You merely prospect and let someone else do the hard part. 

A shocking fact is that most agents do not even look for referrals. And it is so easy to find referrals.  All you have to do is listen to people. Almost everyone loves to talk about real estate.

During the conversation ask a few questions. Find out if they are interested in properties outside your specific area?  Find out if they have friends or relatives anywhere in the world who are thinking of buying or selling?

 I specialize in International Referrals, especially to Latin America, so if you have any prospects let me know and I will see to it that they get excellent care. If you have any questions about the referral process or would like some coaching to help find referrals, I will be glad to help.

Active Rain is a superb resource for referrals. You are the go-to person for Latin American, Gary.

Thanks Gary for the great idea. Yes, we all want referrals. But you are right, giving referrals also adds to our bottom line.
