Thanks Krystle - sure did thank you for the referral! 

As an insurance broker for over 20 years, if you get a lead or a referral, you jump on it. 

Here are a few additional suggestions to consider:Ask for referrals: Consider asking friends, family members, or colleagues for referrals to real estate agents they have worked with and had positive experiences with.

Any help or referrals is much appreciated.

We found our team through a referral, but I'm sure turnover B&B would be a great resource.

That way you make $ on the referral, gain a referral partner who can send you clients, and you keep them in your net when they return to properties in your wheelhouse.

I'm hoping to purchase my first investment property soon :) If anyone has a referral for an investor friendly agent or a property manager in the Urbana Champaign area, please do let me know.
