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:

🌐 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.
