Ep 243: Why Referrals Are The Real ROI For Real Estate Agents

“I don't view transactions as a dollar amount, I view them as I'm helping people. My view is, helping people helps me grow my business."

Episode 243 of The Smart Agents Podcast features Daniel Berger, Broker/Owner of Remax Prestige Properties in White Plains, NY. After pivoting from careers in sales and marketing, Daniel has built a thriving brokerage using guerrilla marketing tactics, client-first service, and a serious investment in lead generation. He shares how treating every client (no matter the price point) like a long-term relationship has led to referral after referral.

From navigating 205 home showings for one buyer to lending clients money to close deals, Daniel’s stories are as practical as they are inspiring. You'll also hear how he's leveraged tools like RateMyAgent to build one of New York's most trusted reputations.
