Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.
Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need real estate attorneys, who else gets a call that same week?
Real estate attorneys sell to both individuals and businesses, and most of the work starts when somebody buys a house. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Clients return now and then, so the introduction has to keep paying off.
- Home purchasewhen somebody buys a house
- Commercial property acquisitionwhen an investor or operator buys a commercial building
- Home salewhen somebody puts a house on the market
- Lawsuit or claimwhen somebody gets sued
- New lease or locationwhen a business signs a lease or opens a location
- Death / probatewhen somebody dies and an estate has to be settled
- Divorcewhen a marriage ends

Land title association
Most real estate attorneys join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Title agents and closing lawyers. They touch every deal on its last day. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licences, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.
Land title association →Let us be straight with you. For real estate attorneys, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
