Do your best to tarnish their name, be it through online reviews, personal referrals, current jobs they have, municipalities they do/have worked for, etc.BBB is a great site for this as well -- if they're even on there. 

Additionally, there are other ways to build income as an agent than traditional sales and even referrals.

The other thing to keep in mind is that since you are licensed if you refer a client to another Realtor you can ask for a referral fee.

Hi BP Community,We are looking for referrals for Howard County, Columbia Maryland, (Just South of Baltimore).

I'm currently seeking networking opportunities with like-minded investors and referrals for realtors, lenders, contractors in order to build my out of state (OOS) core four.
