Relocate to Wisconsin : This morning I awoke to the slap slap sound of Piles of Cash from an AR Referral

   I opened my E-Mail box to the pleasant sound of cash slapping against the window.....and I opened the ne-mail to learn it was not really in an area close enough for us to service well....Oh well, I thought, as I sipped some morning mocha....it was nice he thought of us.....and then I read further.

   The referring agent wanted someone familiar with the area....we are....and I began my response saying that I knew agents in that area  I would refer at no charge....and then looked at the referral fee.....40% ....I know lots

of agents in lots of areas...and thanks to AR, lots more...but no agent, no relocation company...no anything that I know gets 40% for picking up the phone or spending 5 minutes at a keyboard.  I love getting and giving referrals...we do it more than most agents I would guess...I am hoping this was inexperience talking and not what some folks from the other side of the country may come to view as normal....not from me or anyone I know in the midwest.
