I was wondering what some of you have done to protect your bird dogs and make sure that they get credit for their referrals. I was thinking of having the bird dog leave a voicemail or send an email of the property before the bird dog has the seller gives me a call. Also, of course, asking the seller who referred them to cross check.

What do you guys do?

I love the idea of only paying for marketing when I close a deal. The only thing I struggle with is an efficient way of approaching people who would know people who need to sell their property, like lawyers, contractors, postal workers, etc.

Is it as simple as basically writing an email and saying "I understand you may be working with people that need to sell their homes. I'm a real estate investor that will give a $500 referral fee if you send me a lead and I sell the property." Or something like that?

Or is there more to it?

How have you set up referrals in the past?

Thank you in advance.
