While referrals from clients remains #1, I'm lucky enough to have many agents that refer my services, Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor ... but I must add that, while it's taken time, my online presence is definitely gaining ground on that.  Again, I'm lucky on many levels and thankful ...

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor Interesting question. Believe it or not with 5 grown kids, 4 of 5 who live within 5 miles of us and a daughter-in-law and nephew who are or were under my brokerage most of our leads come from within our families sphere of influence.

All toll when you add my immediate and extended family together we're at 65-70 and we all  have grown up and continue to live in the North San Diego Coastal area and plan to stay here. 

So when you add in all the freinds and neighbors to that we're in the hundreds. Add to that the fact that we're basically buyers agents and seldom take listings or sit open houses and we've got a perpetual farm with a lot of moving parts that literally keep on MOVING.
