My #1 is my website.  #2 is realtors (and other complementary businesses), #3 is past customers.  

BTW, we don't do any "lead gen" in the way that I hear realtors doing it.  We are not making outgoing calls...unless it's to return a call we missed.

I would hope that the agents who have been the business for 20 years or more would have a healthy referral base established, and therefore would generate the majority of their income from their past clients.

the largest percentage of MY personal business is referral.  However my office is about half internet leads at this point. I don't work those except the rarest of occassions when all my agents are busy.
