DO NOT USE Real Estate Client Referrals???
If Matt had listened to that, he would have missed out on the biggest closing of his career!!
Congratulations on the closing, Matt!!
See…Matt has been a testimonial of mine for the better part of a year. He recently closed the largest transaction of his real estate career thanks to a buyer that he received from Real Estate Client Referrals!! Here is what he had to say in his own words…
I have to say, I’m a skeptic at heart – when anyone promises me more business, I usually laugh and politely tell them “thanks but no thanks.”
I had heard of RECR through various websites I frequent, but wound up talking to Clint Miller one day. We spoke at length and I never got any sort of hard sell, we were just chatting about business. When I asked questions, I got answers. Good solid answers with no run around attached to them. After thinking it over for a few days, I decided to take a shot at it.
Since then, I’ve received a pretty regular stream of referrals. Since the referrals have already had contact with someone at RECR, they know I’m going to be calling and most have been very easy to speak to. The ice has already been broken and they are receptive to what I have to say. Since they’ve already been checked out, I don’t have to try calling “Mickey Mouse” for three weeks at 867-5309.
The best part about RECR is that you can “dispute a referral.” Been trying to contact someone and getting nowhere? Just tell your contact and they work to replace the referral with another one in your account.
If a referral isn’t working out, you’re not chasing your tail all day trying to draw blood from a stone. Because they give you full contact info, you can call, write, or email the referrals too, something most companies I’ve seen don’t offer (they give you email and maybe a phone number) and you already know the basics of what they’re looking for. You just need to contact them and start building the trust and relationship (RECR can’t do everything for you).
With the Gold and Platinum packages you get a guaranteed number of closings – how can you go wrong with that logic? Close on a $100,000 house at 3% and you’ve made a profit already. And because you’re the only agent in a given area, you’re not fighting other agents for the same referrals.
I know there’s plenty of skeptics in this world, as I said, I’m one of them. I’d be more than happy to answer your doubts if you’d like. Just contact Clint Miller and he’ll connect us. I am a firm believer that if something’s worth it, I want other agents to know.

I already love RECR. You KNOW I want to be on board...
Hi Susie!! Yes, sweetheart...I know you do. :-) And, that is only one slice of the entire pie of love that I have for you. :-) (God, that was sappy...LOL!!)
That's quite a recommendation you got there. Looks like my area is already taken.
Julia...Send me an email to clintmiller@recr.com with what areas you would like to have...Id like to check it out on my end to make sure.
And...thankfully, Matt and I have become really good friends. I respect him professionally...and I really genuinly like the guy personally. :-)
Wow- I turned one of these down yesterday! Can I send you my info too?
Cindy -- Please do so! clintmiller@recr.com -- Please include the city, county, and state you cover so we can discuss what is available. Thanks!
Clint - You know what bugs the crap out of me? When someone at your office calls, leaves his name and a very attractive message but never says the name of the company. After returning 1 call, I know whom that it and never bother to return the call. I feel that message was very misleading.
Of course I'm not saying that's you because you would never do that but still I cant help to share this incident with you. I think what the person did was rather unprofessional.
When I found out whom he was, I told him, if I ever want to work with the company, I'll calll Clint. I know where to find him.
Loreena -- I am sincerely sorry that you went through that. Unfortunately, in a call center environment, not everyone is as.....professional (for lack of a better word) as they should be...And, when it comes time for the two of us to work together, you can just call me directly. ;-)
In the meantime, I will notify the calling manager and make sure that he is aware of what happend. Unfortunately, that is about the best I can do at this point.
Hope you have an awesome day!
Very good testimonial. Hopefully you should get more business from Matt's closing(s)!
IMF -- And Matt is a good friend. Im happy he has been successful with the program. I hope it leads to more business for both of us. :-)
I cant believe I forgot to link the FB fan site and the twitter link...sorry. Links are there now. :-)
I know it has nothing to do with you. And thanks for sharing that with the call manager. I do think it's important. Otherwise, it will leave a bad taste in people's mouth.
Loreena -- Yeah, I agree. And, thanks for letting me know!
After 35 plus years of seeing this type of offering I have a policy of not paying for services that offer potential referrals. I will pay for a specific referrals. I am most likely missing out I hope it works well for you.
Terry and Bonnie -- Everyone has a level of comfort that they maintain. I certainly dont fault you for that.
But, for those that use the program and have good follow up skills like Matt does, it does work. ;-)
Watching with interest and became a fan on fb.
Barb -- Awesome! And, thanks!
I'm not an agent but if I were I would definitely be on board. I have known Clint through AR and social media for a while now and I am always impressed with his courtesy, personality and compassionate concern for people. Thanks Clint for all you do for Social Media Edge's listeners AND your clients!
Ken...Thank you so much for the kind words, my friend! Much appreciated!
