Free Marketing
Referrals are always great because they’re free marketing. If you can get people who will refer you deals, you’re expenses are 0 and it’s all profit.
Bill is a master at getting people, especially real estate agents, to refer him deal after deal after deal. He is in this position because he is helping these individuals do something they don’t know how to do, so he’s giving a lot of value back.
Cultivating Good Referral Relationships
Bill’s networking strategy harkens back to a pre-smartphone era, when the only way to keep in touch with your local realtors was to go to their office and say hello. To this day, he has a “farm” of real estate offices that he goes to, in person, to develop a trusting relationship.
These offices refer Bill their hard-to-sell properties, and he helps them get paid.
The key is to always make sure the real estate agent is paid their commission. If you do that, and maintain a good relationship, they will continue referring to you.
