I love referrals. Their is nothing bettter than someone telling someone else about the job you do. It takes a lot of the guess work out of it. They already know that you do a good job!

Referrals are what keep me in business.  Especially during the years of 2009-2013 when things were tough ... it was my happy clients that told their family and friends and in turn kept me busy!  I believe in Referrals!

The largest part of my new business comes from referrals ... either from past clients or referral business partners.  Whether performed formally or informally, testimony keeps me going. I'm always puzzled as to how others gain business if they do not fertilize and cultivate them ...

Excellent choice for a blog. These are the best kinds of clients because they have been pre-sold on you. On the other hand, now you have to really up your game to live up to their expectations.

Good reminders.  The social proof concept is interesting.  I heard it presented this way: it's the interview you didn't know you had.  Most people today will google everything about RE, including the agents.  If you get pat their research phase, then you've passed your first round interview.

Referrals are always the chance when they're written out, to sound like spam, at least in my opinion. You have to be very careful.
