New poll... reward program!

Ok. If you're reading this on facebook, I'd like you to take a moment to visit featherslam.blogspot.com. On this website, I have included a new poll asking visitors their preferred compensation in a referral reward program. I'd like for you to go and vote. It will give me an indication to what might motivate people to use word-of-mouth to help me out in my little real estate venture.

Why a referral program? Well, real estate is all about relationships and my network is only so big. In order for me to be a successful real estate agent, I believe that I need to do two things. First, get the word out. Second, work hard to gain the knowledge and trust that is needed to deliver to my clients.

What kind of people am I looking for? Pretty much anyone that is looking to get involved in real estate, either buying or selling. If you're a buyer, I'm free. I do not charge any fees to help you look for a property. I earn a commission only when I help you purchase a home. The money that I am paid comes from the seller's proceeds, so I can help you choose the right home at no cost to the buyer. Nothing! Therefore, if you're referring a buyer to me, I will compensate you if I am able to make a sale. It's a pretty good deal. You get a reward and it does not cost your friends a dime.

Hey Chad, I'm glad to see your taking action, I know last time we spoke you were still on the fence about the whole issue. Good news about the sale next door as well, this certainly means good things for you. The flip a few doors down is going to market soon and is to be listed at $229,000 which means around $80,000 difference in my purchase price. I told you I would call you before this months OREIO meeting but I seem to have misplaced your phone number. I hope you get this message in time, and really urge you to attend. This month will be OTTAWA investors sharing there stories and techniques. It will be Monday on Carling near Kirkwood. If you want to attend the information is all available on the OREIO web site. Hope to see you there, or give me a call sometime if you can't. 613-325-1603. Take care Chad. Philippe.
