Absolutely not! I want to be the source that they call to ask for these things - it gives me another opportunity for a 'touch.'

Absolutely not. This is a liability issue. I do recommend several vendors to clients but it is their choice in case someething goes wrong.

I do not have that on a website. There is no reason to share valuable contacts with anybody and everybody.

I have my own local vendors page made up of 14 years worth of relationships built three transactions and networking in San Diego and I continue to add people to it: but these are my peeps I control it and only the people that earn a spot get to go in. Earning it simply means you take very good care of my clients.

No, I don't think publishing a list is beneficial at all. I agree with Fred Griffin , Debe Maxwell, CRS , Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® , Joe Pryor . It's not possible to recommend anyone on a long list. I do have a concierge list. When clients call, it's a one-on-one recommendation as a touch point. And the recipient of the recommendation gets a personal contact from me.

I used to, but didn't find that people really used it. Anyone who knew me and wanted recommendations would just call or email me. And like Debe Maxwell, CRS I prefer to have them reach out directly for the opportunity of an additional touch.

No. I use to but it was rarely used as most buyers already know someone they plan to call. I quit giving recommendations, now I only give suggestions when asked.

Yes I did but no one really used it. Most of the resources retired or moved on also to other things. I also included companies that I had done business with like kitchen cabinets, etc.
Went nowhere.

When my community website was alive and well there was a vendor resources page. The PURPOSE of the page was to drive subscribers. And it worked! Those vendors shown ALL provided these subscribers extra value.
They all offered to pay me, but the disclosure issue become too burdensome.
There are many services now doing the same thing including local HOAs.
Now I support an anonymized 'bartering' page. The PURPOSE is the snag IPs for pre-defined activity. Obviously one must subcribe and reveal much about themselves.
The laborious community and area calendar of events remains the all time traffic magnet.

I used to have one on my mortgage website. I think people saw it as a valuable resource. I am not sure where there is any additional liability as opposed to making a recommending via phone. To me it's a time saver and makes you appear to be a trusted local resource.

I used to do this, but found other REALTORS were using my page. Now I prefer to have my clients call me directly.
1,650,236
No, I do not have.
I do provide clients or anyone who asks with names of those I had a positive experience with, but again only upon request.

I don't have one yet, but I am working on it. What I have been doing is keep the information of the people I have done work. Of course, they are responsible and professional, and I call the one that I have not I call them and ask about their services. I also check their Yelp ratings.

we have that in our listing brochure.... homeowners often need work done before they list...all of our contacts in the trades are there with their contact info....

To the group saying they want to "be the source". My question is? How does that benefit you when people don't know you or that you have that information?
The idea with this type of page is to utilize the information to:
- Generate traffic to your site
- SEO benefit
- Provide value that is easily accessible to buyers/sellers
- Help position you as a local authority by offering this value and content
- Co-marketing opportunities with the businesses. Link exchange. More referrals from a business that you are co-marketing via this "Resource Page".
- Use the page and content with your marketing such as a newsletter or email message blast. (t would drive traffic to your site, put your business in front of more people.
- Help with branding (see #6)
- You are still the "Source" of the content. That doesn't change,
One of the best resources agents have is information. I don't like the idea of holding tight to this info. Id rather offer value and build a business with it.
About Liability....
In the example I posted the agent has a disclaimer. That all you need to cover it.
Thanks to all for the replies.

Yes and No.
Yes - I have a neighborhood resources page, but it has contact info for the schools, utility providers, parks, hospitals, cops, top employers, etc. on it.
No - I do not list tradespeople. I prefer to do that as a point in time recommendation, since my list of who I like is ever changing.

I have a list of contacts and resources on hand but I don't share them. I want people to call me for this information..another opporutnity to make contact.

I do not have one. I like the idea of the potential traffic it could attract, but also see what others say about the liability of the listings. I would prefer to be able to speak directly with clients, so I could be aware of their future plans and to catch up with them about their life and family.
