Lender & Referral Programs Referral Disclosures
Agent Generated Referrals (AGRs)
• Q: What is the definition of an Agent Generated Referral? A: An Agent Generated Referral is a lead generated in your local marketplace that does not have another real estate firm or benefits program attached to it as the referring source. The customer must be a member of any one of the Realogy Leads Group organizations / associations, such as Navy Federal Credit Union and AARP. • Q: How do you recognize a potential AGR? A: Ask the simple questions when first meeting with a client. “Are you part of any organization that offers you a real estate benefit?” “Have you or any member of your family served in the military? Are you part of any military organization that offers a real estate benefit?” If they say yes, you have an AGR! Another key question is- Where are you planning to secure financing? Or – you are doing a competitive listing presentation and upon touring the home, you notice military memorabilia. Consider mentioning your association with one of the military affinity programs and secure the listing!
AGRs: Why Offer the Program?
• It makes Good Business Sense • Looking for a way to build your business? Take advantage of your affiliation with Navy Federal Credit Union and AARP to market yourself to former and active military • Competitive edge – it is unique service • A risk!...member may contact the program and they could be assigned to a competing firm or agent • Reduced referral fee! • Retention tool = Evokes loyal customers • Satisfied customers will tell their friends, family and co-workers
Agent Generated Referrals (AGRs) • Q: How do you submit an AGR? • A: First, instruct the customer NOT to call the program such as Navy Federal or AARP directly to register. Explain to them that someone from the program will be contacting them. • In order to submit an AGR, you will need all customer contact information • Affinity Program • Customer Name • Address • All contact information • Best time of day to reach them • Your Relocation Department will submit your customer to the Realogy Advantage Network for enrollment into the preferred Lender or Referral Program.
