I do not use the exchange. I use the community. I refer to those I know and know I can trust with a referral.  I recently made several of them. 

I don't think anyone uses that anymore. 

The membership of ActiveRain provides some exceptional referral options but I rarely go to that particular section.  As I recall it seems the information was not up-to-date and/or unrealistic requests.  

I am more inclined to use either a CRS or someone I met through NAR.

It seems to be a feature that few visit any longer. Lost opportunities!

No, I don't check it regularly either.

 Kathleen Daniels said it well.

This question board is a good place to ask for referrals.  I have gotten names on several occasions; it paid off for both me and for them.

Sorry do not use the exchange here.

I basically have an agent in every major US city so no, I go direct to my Buffini & Company and Active Rain blended network, with CRS filling in any gaps.

I never give it a second thought. Shame on me!

I have used the AR referral network to post a need. The result was near instant responses.

However, looking up agents, that is finding an agent in Boise with experience in a area, is labor intensive. Too many are no longer in the business.

My preference is to look up a Remax Broker and get a referral from him/her.

I do not check the referral network at all.

I went to that section just the other day and posted a referral for the DFW area prior to the TX hurricane and got an instant response from a highly qualified Realtor.  Gave him the referral and connection made.

It's clear that section is not updated/maintained by AR as there are many referrals that are very old.  And I can't figure out how to delete my old referrals.

Cheers!   

It is a waste of time, outdated.

No - but once in awhile I do get contacted from a member but not through the exchange

Lyn Sims nailed this one!

No, not recently.

Peter Mohylsky - I am not checking this regularly for sure. 

I haven't used it in years....

I haven't checked it for a long time.

I have gotten referrals from members but not through the referral exchange.

An unmaintained tool soon gets forgotten.

No I don't use it. Getting to know fellow AR members is far better and using my CRS network.

I have not used it.

Peter I haven't looked at it in years. I know the folks that I refer to and if I don't I call them and get to know them. I'm not sure that section is even working or been updated?

Hi Peter Mohylsky - go with Kathleen Daniels' recommendation - look up the area and do some research. You'll be glad you did!

I use all aspects of this site

Last time I looked at it , it needed to be updated

I don't use it, I use the Q&A if needed.

I don't use it... too much like spitting in the wind... prefer to do my own in-depth research about whom to refer to unless I already has a contact in a specific area.

Dated info. Tried it once did not even get a thank you or acknowlegement.

Contacted a millionare recently by eMail that agent was busy blogging.  Mine was an cash investors interested in multiple properties. That person blew it as the investor got a realtor now.
