For most real estate attorneys, Realtors are their #1 referral source—but too often, attorneys rely solely on past transactions to generate business instead of proactively strengthening those relationships.

In this CLE, Sabrina Bier, a seasoned real estate marketing strategist at Proper Title and former top-producing Realtor®, will take you inside the mindset of today’s Realtor. You’ll learn what Realtors actually care about, why they refer certain attorneys over others, and how to stand out as their trusted go-to legal partner.

This session will cover three key strategies to build lasting relationships through old-school marketing, modern digital tools, and in-person networking. You’ll walk away with clear, actionable steps to increase your referrals, establish trust with top-producing agents, and position yourself as an indispensable part of their team.
