The look of incredulity usually pops up somewhere during the middle part of the process. We\\u2019ve been helping a client pick out a property, put them in touch with the local market specialist, we\'re working the phones and e-mail to help find the \\u201cdeal\\u201d they\\u2019re looking for.

Then it sinks in. \\u201cWe really don\\u2019t pay you anything for all this work you\'re doing?\\u201d The truth is, no, you really don\\u2019t. Which brings up the question of whether or not we\\u2019re in the charity business. Definitely not. We make money but not from nickel and diming the client to death.

As Founder and CEO Jason Hartman describes frequently, our business model as a referral service collects a fee from the agent in the local market where you decide to buy a property. Think of it from his point of view. He has a high volume and reliable source of qualified buyers from us. He doesn\\u2019t have to advertise locally, work the phones cold calling, or try to drum up business over the Internet. He\\u2019s glad to pay our fee for sending him buyers. Makes his life much easier.

An intended side effect of this arrangement is that our local agent is very responsive when a Platinum Properties Investor Network\\u2122 person, be it a client or staff member, has a problem. They do not want to do anything to screw up the goose that lays the golden egg. They will bend over backwards to fix the issue. There\\u2019s power in numbers and when you use our referral network the numbers have your back.
