My name is Jeremiah Thompson. I started out as a complete and utter real estate rookie seven years ago working in a small RE/MAX office in Missoula, Montana.
I spent countless hours "in the field"... hosting open houses, only to feed cookies to the neighbors.
I spent long hours on the phone, cold-calling and even getting yelled at sometimes.
I put in so many hours at work, that it cost me a relationship with my girlfriend and some of my most valuable possessions...
The "Crazy Idea" That Turned My Career Around
and How It Can Work for You
I decided that things had to change. And just after my first year in real estate, I had gone from a rookie to the prestigious Top Producer in the entire office.
Here's how I did it: Seven years ago, back in the office, I started getting emails from home buyers and sellers that had done research on the Internet and were looking to buy or sell a home in my area.
I failed miserably at first...Because like most agents then I wanted closings and I wanted them now then I decided to reply to these internet-based prospects in the same way that I worked with "regular" customers.
I offered to show them home listings and to get them into a home quickly and hassle-free.
Each time I tried this approach then it ended my relationship with the client before it even had a chance to get started.
Then I changed my approach...I started taking a serious look at where these homeowners were in the real estate "cycle". And I tweaked and fine-tuned my sales process.
That's When I Began to See Enormous Changes! I started listing and closing on more homes than anyone in my entire office. Commissions started pouring in, and I realized that anyone could do the very same things I was doing - if they only knew how.
Why are we unique among internet client referral companies?
I took all the knowledge I had gained as a successful real estate agent and used that experience to form my company, Real Estate Client Referrals http://www.recr.com/, in March of 2003.
When I started the company, I did so knowing exactly what I'd want as an agent myself. So I made sure that I included all the tools, tips and techniques I used to close more sales with Internet referrals. That means:
NO Monthly Fees - Ever. You simply pay for your referrals and that's it
NO Long-Term Contracts - If you're not happy, I'll cheerfully refund your money. More on that below...
NO Recycling of Referrals - You get exclusive access to your local area - and we never share your referral's contact information with any other agents - period.
Let Me Take All the Risk Out Of Your Decision...
Love This System - or Your Money Back... I genuinely want you to succeed in the real estate business. That's why I invite you to try out our system out, risk-free, for 90 days |

How does your program cmpare to House Values/Just listed? I get pretty good results from them.
Thanks
Chris -- I work with 3,500 agents across the US and Canada. I process about 1,500 new referrals every day including weekends. We are a very small company (50 employees) and the followup associated with this would be astronomical and would require numerous additional people to handle, thus elevating our expenses and the need for increasing our prices. But, aside from that, I have used other companies in the past that insisted on a commission split. I hated it!! Sending 30% of MY money to some entity out there with a website that emailed me a name and a phone number seems insane. If it were a peronal referral from a friend, maybe. But, an internet lead? No way. So, I built this company to make sure that agents did not have to give up their hard earned money at closing.
As far as the costs of the program....lets analyze that real quick. The base package is $2174. That is for 35 referrals. So, the average cost per referral is $62. Even if you only get 1 into a closing, you still make a profit. (You would have to sell a house that is at least $100,000 at 2.1% to overcome the costs and break even.) Now, I know you are not in business to break even...so, when you apply the 1 in 5 closing ratio to this....7 of these will end up in a contract. If you made only the initial investment on each closing ($2,100 X 7 homes) you would end up with $14,700 in commissions. Not a bad return on your investment.
I have guarantees in place to cover you from every angle, so the risk is very limited. Each referral is guaranteed. If I ever send you a bad referral (bad meaning if you call and number isnt correct, the client doesnt live at that number, the client doesnt remember signing up or speaking with us, even going so far as you cant get hold of them after numberous attempts) I will replace that referral for you for free. Secondly, I have a 90-day pro-rated money back guarantee. Try it out...if you dont like it, quit. You will get your money back (minus the cost of the referrals that you have taken) Third, I guarantee closings. I guarantee you will at least make your money back with my program or you use the service for free until you do.
Thanks for the comments and for giving me the opportunity to explain my program further. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
