Below are proven strategies to help you build and grow your referral-based real estate business.

👥 1. Start With Your Sphere of Influence

Your personal and professional network is your referral goldmine.

Think about everyone you know:

• Friends

• Family

• Former clients

• Colleagues

• Neighbors

• Social media followers

Let them know you're still in real estate—but now helping people by connecting them with trusted agents.

📲 Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or even email to share your message:

“If you or someone you know is buying or selling a home, I can connect you with a top local agent—and you'll be in great hands.”

🌐 2. Leverage Your Online Presence

A strong online presence builds trust—and trust leads to referrals.

Here’s how to establish yourself as a go-to resource:

• Post valuable real estate tips and market insights on social media

• Share success stories or testimonials

• Write short blogs or articles on your website

• Let your followers know you help people find great agents nationwide

💡 Add a contact form or referral request link to your social pages or website so people can reach out easily.

🔁 3. Stay in Touch With Past Clients

Just because a deal closed doesn’t mean the relationship should end.

Keep in touch with past clients by:

• Sending holiday greetings or birthday messages

• Checking in a few times a year

• Letting them know you're now focused on helping friends and family through referrals

These small touches keep you top-of-mind—and increase the chances they’ll refer someone your way.

📋 4. Qualify the Referral Before You Place It

Before connecting a client with an agent:

• Ask key questions (timeline, location, budget)

• Understand their expectations

• Help them feel confident that you're choosing someone who’s a great fit

Platinum Star Properties provides a referral agreement form to protect your interests—be sure to use it every time.

🤝 5. Build a Trusted Agent Network

Have a shortlist of agents ready in different cities or specialties (first-time buyers, luxury, relocation, etc.). You can even reach out to agents proactively and let them know you’re a referral partner looking to send business their way.

✅ This creates a win-win—and gives you confidence that your clients are being taken care of.

💰 6. Make It Clear You’re Still in the Business

Many referral agents miss opportunities because people assume they’ve left real estate altogether.

Make sure your network knows you’re still licensed and actively helping people—just in a different way.

📢 Your message:

“I’m still in real estate—just now helping people get connected to the best local agents. If someone you know needs help, I’m happy to assist!”

At Platinum Star Properties, we make it easy to hang your license, refer clients, and collect commissions—all while maintaining a flexible lifestyle.
