The Hidden Math Behind Referral-Only Real Estate Growth with Carol Foderick | Ep 100

More than 500 transactions last year - 100% by referral.
Nearly $1B in sales over the past five years - working by referral only.

Carol Foderick has built a 20-agent, 15-staff team that exclusively works by referral. Each agent owns their database and relies on the camaraderie of the team and the leverage of the staff. Go inside the structure of her team and get the numbers behind working by referral.
