Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from the MLS or your own referrals?

If you still haven’t signed up you can use my referral link here, I believe you may receive a discount as well: https://home.tenantcloud.com/signup?

This was based on asking a lot of questions, seeing if they answer them in a BS way, ask for referrals for some of their existing clients and research them and make sure they are in the market. 

Seems your referral to a women's group is pretty popular in this thread.

Create columns for Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip and then contact info: Last Contact, Relationship, Status, Email & Phone.IMPORTANT: do NOT ask people for THEIR business, ask for referrals!

Happy to send you some referrals for insurances agents and brokers

And that's fine, too.There is an apartment operator that has multiple real estate cycles of experience (decades) with no money lost, low 65% less LTV, and high 10%+ skin in the game.They market under 506B so are prohibited from posting publicly on the Internet and instead function by referrals.

(based on various factors like if its a referral, a listing, completed transaction etc)

Good luck on your search, if you need a good realtor referral to help your hunt don't hesitate to reach out, I have a network in all 50!

(Only so they know I’m happy with their service, I get no referral fees or commissions nor am I related to them in anyway.)
