Agent-to-Agent Free Referral Network Launches Today

Realty Lifeline Agent-to-Agent Free Referral NetworkRealty Lifeline- agent-to-agent free referral network was announced today at PRWeb. Website is aimed at providing real estate agents to share the referrals. Any agent can submit and bid on referrals for free. However every referral will expire in 90 days. When submitting a bid no personally identifiable info of your seller or buyer is required. After another agent successfully accepts the bid, you finalize your bid with that agent:

What are Bids?
When a referring agent posts a Rerrral on our site, it is available for all other agents to view. If you would like to get that lead (or Referral), you must place a “Bid” on it. When you place a Bid on a Referral, the referring agent can review your profile and reviews from past Realty Lifeline transactions.

How do I bid on Referrals?
You create a Bid by clicking on the Bid on this Referral button on the Referral Details page. The referring agent will review all of the Bids that he or she gets, then choose an agent that they want to work with. Who is selected is entirely dependent on the referring agent.

What are Active Bids?
A Bid is active on a Referral unless you withdraw it, or unless the Referral expires.

I’ve submitted my Bid… what’s next?
The Referring Agent will review Bids as they come in and make a decision on will get the Referral. When a Referral is awarded to you, you will see a message on the Home page and the Referral will appear under the Pending Transactions section.

This website indeed can become very popular among the real estate agents because it’s free and no third party is involved in the referral process.

Real Estate Forums

Participating in online forum can benefit you on many levels. You can network with other real estate agents and even can bring some extra visitors to your website. I have compiled a list of five real estate forums that you can not afford to ignore. I will later explain who it can be used on occasions while working with Hittail. However there is one very important thing to remember when joining an online forum. You will benefit form online forums by contributing to them. If you join a forum only as an opportunity to leave links back to your websites, soon you will earn a reputation of a spammer and no one will take you seriously.

Many online forums reward active users by offering a signature which can accompany every post you write on the forum. Some use this signature to promote their websites. Many forums will require to write certain amount of posts before allowing you to use the signature. Some forums grant you this opportunity from the time you join the forum.

Forums in the list below are particularly focused on real estate. If you are not member of any forum on the list consider joining them. Should you be already a member of some of them feel free to leave your feedback.

Real Estate Webmasters Forum- probably my favorite forum. You can find there great webmasters tips for your real estate website.

The Pro Real Estate Network Forums
There are many other online forums that real estate agents can benefit from. Especially if they are looking for webmasters, SEO, PPC and other tips. I will write about those in the future.

They feel that many real estate agents are being micro-managed by the established big brokerages.
