Question 2

How does Reffdesk select its agent partners?

Accepted Answer

Reffdesk analyzes and screens agents based on their qualifications, expertise, and track record, ensuring clients are connected with the best professionals in their area.

Question 3

What is the 'One Agent, One Zipcode' philosophy?

Accepted Answer

Reffdesk assigns each zipcode to a single agent, maximizing conversion potential and ensuring clients receive unparalleled service based on profound local knowledge. However, if a zipcode is large enough and we are receiving a very good number of responses from that area, more agents may be added to facilitate those referrals. But one referral is only shared with one agent and is exclusive; it will not be shared with any other agent.

Question 4

What is the Quality of Referrals?

Accepted Answer

We are incentivized to provide agents with double-verified exclusive referrals as we get paid if the referrals we give are closed by agents and actually make them money.

Question 5

Geo farming is a strategy where agents focus on a specific geographic area to become the go-to professional in that region. Reffdesk's approach ensures agents can harness the power of geo farming effectively.

Question 6

We have over 200+ lead generating sources which are mainly divided into 3 categories: Search engines, Social media and Website network.

Question 7

Is there a signup fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we charge a one time non-refundable Members fee based on your plan.

Question 8

Is there any monthly/yearly or per lead fee?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no monthly/yearly per lead fee of any kind. We charge a one time membership fee similar to the admin fee which realtors charge on a transaction. Our membership fee helps us to keep your profile up to date, perform continuous SEO (search engine optimization), and offset some of the tech costs.

Question 9

Is SEO and agent profile worth it?

Accepted Answer

One of the first questions all growing businesses have is whether SEO works indirectly. SEO has been dwarfed by many an extremely important and profitable channel. And that idea is well substantiated — after all, the promise of getting leads when you don't need to would sound intoxicating to any agent that it takes time and a lot of expertise to get properly ranked. In simple words, the longer an agent stays active with us the better the results they tend to get.

Question 10

What is SEO and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. In the simplest of terms, good SEO optimizes your visibility online. This means that the more people see your profile, the more your online traffic increases, and the better your chances to provide your service to a greater number of people. In simple words, the longer an agent stays active with us the better the results they tend to get.

Question 11

How long does SEO take to work on my profile?

Accepted Answer

SEO is like a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time and consistent effort to see results. On average, it takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months. In simple words, the longer an agent stays active with us the better the results they tend to get.

Question 12

Is there a Contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No. Basically, we provide real estate agents with referrals and we have a standard referral agreement that allows us to be paid on closed deals.

Question 13

Is there a cancellation fee?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no cancellation fee. You can cancel your service anytime and if you wish to keep working with the leads then you are obligated to pay us our referral fee.

Question 14

Do I get to keep the referrals if I cancel your service?

Accepted Answer

If you decide to keep the referrals then you are still obligated to pay us our referral fee on the closed transaction.

Question 15

How does Reffdesk protect my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your information is secure with Reffdesk. We utilize cutting-edge encryption protocols, including AES-256 encryption, to protect your personal and payment data. Our platform adheres to rigorous security standards and employs secure token access to safeguard sensitive information throughout the transaction process. Furthermore, ACH and Zelle payments are processed through secure, bank-grade systems, ensuring the confidentiality and safety of your data at all times.

Question 16

What payment options are available?

Accepted Answer

We currently accept ACH payments only. We do not accept credit/debit cards due to the high risks associated with them. By using ACH payments, we're able to keep processing fees as low as possible and reduce the risk of fraud. This approach ensures better value for our users while also helping us maintain a secure environment.
