Does anyone live or know of someone who lives in Yorba Linda?

Rudy Bachraty answered:
Hi Macy!

I do. My good friend Loren Nason lives there and even has a super hyper-local blog about Yorba Linda called "Land of Gracious Living".

You can follow my strategies to connect and network w/ other real estate professionals on these but they also work well for connecting with consumers :)

Good luck and please let me know how you do.

Hi Joe!

This in an interesting question. From my experience, I have both given and received referrals. In each instance, it was a one time thing. As mentioned below, it ultimately depends on your referral agreement. Did you have a written agreement or was it verbal? And, out our curiosity, how does the referring agent know the "referral" is conducting another transaction w/ you?
