Realtor Referrals

Connections are the heartbeat of a small business. Identifying key players with the right referrals can make or break your business model.

Realtors can be a terrific source of referrals. We found this to be true in our past professional career as well as our current small business. They are in the proverbial know. Often, they need many different types of contractors to help homeowners fix their homes up to sell. Or they want to be able to give a few contractor names to potential buyers looking to do upgrades or necessary repairs the seller cannot do.

Our personal relocation last year allowed us to befriend the selling agent for the home we purchased. She is now in the circle of trust. She has given us our main contractor, our handyman service, our pet service, our furniture reupholster, as well as recommendations to some of our now favorite restaurants. When we needed to be in the know in just about any topic, we texted her. In fact, nearly a year later and we still ask her for guidance.

Commercial realtors sell business to business. If you are seeking commercial clients, research the top commercial realtors in your area. If you provide personal services or products that any type of homeowner or renter would need, start with the top residential realtors. An internet search will not disappoint in the number of realtors in your location. There usually are many to choose from. Call up a few and meet them for coffee or tea or lunch. It likely will be well worth your time and money.

A great realtor will likely become your great friend. It happened that way for us. We are thankful for the connection and the continued referral support.

Realtors could be an untapped referral source for you and your business. It is well worth the research time.

Be well.
