The numbers speak for themselves. Working by referral is the most effective way to generate leads and build a thriving real estate business. Plus, it’s fun!

Not only is cold calling miserable, it’s just not as good for business. Working by referral empowers real estate agents to build strong relationships while ensuring a steady stream of leads.

We also asked these agents what they enjoyed most about working by referral. Here’s what some of the best of the best had to say:

  • Chris Jeantet (@shastaliving): It’s more my style. No knocking on doors or cold calling but interacting with my biggest fans.
  • Karen Dulle (@karendulle): I like working by referral as it is gives me the chance to be with the clients I am serving and building that relationship
  • Barbara Betts (@barbara_betts): I am able to set aside time for the important things in life!
  • Shawn Dreger (@shawndreger): No cold calling or spending tons of money marketing
  • Denise Saletta (@tattootinkbell): You are allowed to know families, different generations, you develop wonderful, lasting relationships. Working by referral lets you ‘in’
  • Sunny Bedi (@sunnybedi26): It syncs with my style of work
  • Michael Paul Baden (@MichaelBaden): I always know the quality and exactly where the (next) deals are coming from! J
