That referral page is out of date and has been for a long time.

I do not use the referral board. Never have. I leverage my personal connections with members here to make referrals. I receive many referrals from members in the Rain.

A great idea, the referral page, but most bypass this and go to the local page for each county and see who is active there.
Hopefully they will be cleaning the referral area up in the near future and revitalizing it.

Hi Lauren,
You are absolutely right. Not sure why people stopped using it. Must not have been effective.

The referral page is outdated.
Suggest you visit the Leaderboard. Filter by county.
Or, visit Resources > Local Info > filter by city

Hi Lauren Robichaud and welcome to AR. Referrals are a wonderful bonus that comes from this community. Unfortunately, as others have shared, the Referral Page has not been updated in awhile as most of us reach out to find our own referrals through the friendships that have formed here in the Rain.
The more active you are in writing about you, your business and your community, the easier it will be to be found!

You'll meet people as you go here and those relationships will trump the referral feature, which as you can see, is largely neglected & ignored.

You are correct. SO many here in AR Land do not use the referral page, but have already established relationships with members, so needn't visit that section.

I'm not sure the referral page is the best place to find referrals - the examples you point out are just one reason. I don't use it at all but use the relationships I have developed over time. Get to know people here on AR as you participate and develop your list of people who feel you would refer to. As as others get to know you they will do the same, and add you to their lists

Laureen honestly I haven't used that page in I can't tell you how long. I know a lot of people in the rain and where their market is so I call them directly. That's what works best for me. As for a 2 year old referral.....well??

Lauren - For some reason nobody uses the referral page on this site. Most of the members personally contact anyone they would consider sending a referral to.

I don't use the referral board. I'm here reaching out and forming relationships with other members, in hopes that I may be considered for a referral and so I know who I can refer to in a certain area.

Lauren, that page has been outdated and seldom used for a LONG time. The last referal requests I've seen have actually been questions asked here.
5,584,468
it's useless..... I wouldn't use it unless someone decides to update it....agents will get to know you when you comment and write blog posts.... make sure your profile page is updated....

Your observation is correct. Often they look for agents active and contact them directly.

First off, welcome to AR
You're not missing anything - most of us here do not use that page and rely on the connections we've built over time.
Jump in, engage the community and watch the referrals and business come

Lauren Robichaud No, you aren missing anything. The page is not kept up to date.

I've had the same experience; very dated stuff, but I've also been contacted with referrals based on geography.

Lauren Robichaud - it seems this page is not as much utilized as it should be...

I noticed similar referrals and suspect that the referrals with placed and no one updated them. Or, nothing ever came together. A 9 year old referral is pretty old!!!
3,763,935
You are right! Most of the referrals I've received from ActiveRain were from people I've actually met or people I've met when we read and commented on each other's posts. Then, every once in a while the phone will ring and it will be a real buyer or seller on the line.
2,443,346
It is a history of referrals. If someone had a more recent one, it would be there.

Lauren. Excellent question here. I have looked at referral page a few times as well only to see the same type of times you state. I did not take the time you did to pursue further. Only figured it to be of no use to me. Mark

No you are correct, just like getting a buyer lead if you can't connect pretty quickly it goes cold or to someone else.

Unfortunately the referral page is so out of date. If you have a referral to send search the Leaderboard for active agents in selected area. Most members reach out to another member directly to send a referral.
You will need to get active on this site so other members know you and hopefully send a referral your way.

No one posts referrals on their anymore. I think that most people have switched to just phoning.
