As often as possible.  We can get a flavor of the agent by reading their blogs, far better than going to the Brand roster

I don't partner up, but I have used AR to recommend agents to clients I have had relocating to another part of the country a few times.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.  We have great relationships here in the rain and that is one of the benefits!

I sure would.
Have I done so yet. No.

I will when I get my next referral for the mainland/Canada. I just started being active on AR a few months ago so it hasn't happened yet but this is a great forum for meeting good agents.

Yes, I have sent a referral to an agent in New Orleans once.

I have done this very successfully on several occasions. I love doing it. AR makes finding a referring agent so easy. As a matter of fact...I got a check just a few days ago from a referral I did with an AR agent. 

Not as much as I should.

Not really. I look to CRS members with specific expertise, and I have been involved in state and national leadership for years and have interacted personally with a ton of agents who I do catalog for location and specific areas of excellence. 

Several times a year on average. 

If I am convinced that the person I'm referring to is indeed the best option, absolutely.

Yes Shuchi Yes, I have sent a referral to an agent in Maryland once.

Yes, Shuchi Agrawal - it's a trust relationship and once you know someone, you can trust them.

It's great to get to know agents in the Rain and being able to refer business based on that relationship.  We all strive to be the best we can be, and this is no exception!
