Who’s Referring You Right Now (And Why That Matters More Than Ever)

You can’t buy trust — but you can earn it.


In a market where leads are more skeptical, rates are still high, and inventory feels tight, the warmest deals continue to come from trusted referrals.


That means:

✅ A past client who tags you in a local Facebook thread

✅ An agent who introduces you to their listing client

✅ A friend who passes your name to someone moving back into town


What’s wild? Most of those referrals don’t come because someone was “asked.”


They come because:

  • You showed up consistently

  • You made the process feel easy

  • You followed through better than expected


People don’t refer who they sort of remember — they refer who they trust completely.

I’ve built most of my pipeline not from paid ads or cold campaigns, but from consistent referrals fueled by service, speed, and results.


If you’re looking to grow right now — double down on the relationships already around you. The next 5 deals might not be new leads… they might be quiet champions in your circle waiting for a reminder.
