Quote from @Jyotin Gautam: Yes, a referral agreement can stipulate that the referral fee be paid at closing to ensure transparency and expediency.

When someone wants to send you a referral privately, they are probably sending you a friend that pays them a referral fee.

As 2025 is in full swing, one of my goals is to be more intentional in building a national referral network of great agents.

Any referrals in So.

@Andy MoffitI'm in Knoxville and have referrals for all those needs you've got. 

@Chris LauerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hey Hazel feel free to PM me, I have a strong referral network and would be happy to connect you.

If you have a residential earnest money dispute its very different than negotiating a national retail NNN lease.Transactional vs litigationResidential vs commercialThose would go a long way to finding the best referral for your needs 

Is it cool to make referrals in BP forums?
