Real Estate Agents: Why They’re My Best Referral Partners

Kathy Wright Season 1 Episode 6

In this episode of The Real Estate Connector, Kathy Wright shares how real estate agents have become her strongest allies in building a successful property management business across the Upstate of South Carolina.

She dives into why agents and property managers make the perfect referral partners, how her referral program keeps agents in the loop (and earning commissions), and how working together creates better outcomes for investors, tenants, and the entire real estate community.

Kathy also shares stories of successful partnerships — including one agent whose client bought 15 homes in a single year — and why protecting relationships is always a top priority.

Whether you’re a licensed agent, a property manager, or an investor looking to build your network, this episode will give you practical strategies to turn partnerships into long-term success.
