Trusted Real Estate Referrals by Location
Referrals are pretty much the best lead you can get, since someone is introducing you to a potential client with their stamp of approval/trust. Whether or not you make money from referrals (I know some refuse to monetize that process), virtually every agent desires to find a trusted, qualified agent by location to hand a relocation client off to every now and then.
There are dozens, and likely hundreds, of networks, groups, and masterminds in existence to help agents do exactly that, all over the country…and world. Some of those are standalone websites, while others exist inside Facebook groups (such as this KW one) or on LinkedIn (such as this one).
How many of you belong to private or secret Facebook groups setup specifically for exchanging referrals? How many belong to paid referral networks? Which groups are the most active? Do any of them generate business for you?
PS: We are looking for a few testers for our new iOS app, which will be a more efficient way to find people in your FB referral groups by location.
Update: The app is now on the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/horizon-travel-stay-people/id960391979?mt=8

Posted at 11:08h, 23 AugustWe have referral groups on FB for people who use the same lead generation platforms, website platforms, tech-savvy members of trade organizations, etc. Just knowing there is some connection more than “this person works for this brand” seems to make people more willing to give a referral for free.
