I give him Style-Points for trying! I did recently talk to an agent who had a referral, but refused to give it to a mutual Twitter Fan, because she said that agent's time on twitter reflected that he wasn't busy enough. I don't know that I agree with the logic, but it was evident that it does factor into some folks rationale. :) Seems for Romo the difference between HERO and ZERO was about 8 yards.

I always try and follow up with the referrer and make them feel like they did me a huge favor. When they feel like they're a part of my business, they feel more apt to become more of a part of it. I have several clients who are proud of my successes and want to see me get even better - and they spend time encouraging that in me (which is a really interesting side effect of being involved in something so major in someone's life). Clients can make or break you in real estate - not just during the transaction, but long after as well. Ken – Good point about forgetting the referrer after you get the new referral.

Great reminder of a part of our jobs that sometimes doesn't seem to be a priority, when in fact it is probably more important than any other. We also make referrals to our clients for other services - be it home inspectors, pest control companies, lenders, closing attorneys (title companies), cleaning services, landscapers, and contractors. I think it's vital to protect your own reputation when doing so - send them a fly-by night painter who fails to show up after getting a draw to buy supplies - and guess who they'll remember referred them? I love the Tony Romo analogy - but then again I'm part of the Steeler Nation - any Cowboy flubbing anything would be well received. Navy Chief, Navy Pride On point, Ken.
