Name : Christen Portelli Title : Managing Principal Company/firm : Highcap Group Years with Company/firm : 5 Years in field : 11 Years in real estate industry : 11 Address : 57 West 38th Street, Suite 605 New York NY 10018 Telephone : 646-546-5255 Email : [email protected] URL : www.highcapgroup.com What do you consider to be the most successful way to increase referrals? Referrals are a key to success and also the best compliment. In addition to client referrals, over the years I have built a community of real estate professionals (attorneys, lenders, mortgage brokers etc.) which provide a constant source of referrals. Being trustworthy, credible and creative along with the ability to deliver continues to lead to referrals. And, every client receives priority.
