About My Referrals

  • Why am I not getting any referrals?

    Here are some things that can have an impact on how often you receive referrals:

    1. Make sure your account settings are not too narrow. You can set up your price range, primary zip code and radius, hours of availability, etc. The more available you are and the wider the price range you set, the more opportunities of a referral being offered to you.

    2. If you’re relatively new, it can sometimes take a couple of weeks for a new team to fully ramp up, so don't be discouraged. 

    3. Lastly, make sure you select a sound notification so you hear your phone when a referral is being offered to you. Agents that tend to have their phones near them are usually faster to respond and are more successful with accepting a live referral. 

  • How do I place the app on snooze?

    1. Click on the PrimeStreet App.
    2. Click Profile.
    3. Click on the toggle bar for "I Am Available."

    Select the time frame for do not disturb. If you need to extend it, simply repeat these steps once your time frame has expired.

    The following steps will be helpful with placing any app on snooze for your specific phone type.

    Snooze an iPhone app:

    Ask Siri. Say something like, “Turn on Do Not Disturb,” or “Turn off Do Not Disturb.” 

    1. You can also open Control Center, then tap to turn on Do Not Disturb. When Do Not Disturb is on, it appears in the status bar.
    2. To choose an end time for Do Not Disturb, touch and hold Control Center, then choose an option, such as “For 1 hour” or “Until the end of this event.” You can also tap Schedule, turn on Scheduled, then set beginning and ending times.

    Snooze an Android app:

    1. Pull down the Control Center by swiping down from the top of the screen.
    2. If you don't see the Do Not Disturb icon, swipe down a second time to see more icons.
    3. Find "Do Not Disturb" and tap it. Each tap toggles it on or off. 

  • When should you place yourself on snooze?

    Snooze is a feature we have built into your PrimeStreet app to silence any notifications in the app. The snooze feature allows you to place the app on "Do Not Disturb" for a specified amount of hours, days, or up to 4 weeks.

    To find this feature you will need to toggle the “I am available” button off, then select your timeframe. During this time you will not receive any offers for a new referral. You will also not receive any other notifications in your app.

    If the amount of snooze time needed exceeds one week, you can put yourself on snooze again when your week is up. You can also edit the days of the week or hours you are available in your settings temporarily, and then reset your days/hours when you are ready to begin receiving referrals again. We only recommend the second option if you will not be able to accept referrals for over a month.

    Below are a few reasons to place your PrimeStreet app on snooze:

    -You are going on vacation
    -You are in a meeting where you can’t be disturbed

  • When is it OK to remove a referral from my funnel?

    Below is a list of reasons when it's acceptable to remove a referral from your funnel in your app, and only after you've considered using long-term hold.

    1. Working with another agent
    • Client decided to work with another agent (friend, family, or associate)

    2. Became unresponsive
    • Client is not following back up despite multiple outreach attempts (expectation is 7 attempts - should be a combo of calls/emails/texts)
    • The phone number to the client is no longer valid and he/she isn’t responding to email

    3. No longer buying/selling
    • Client changes their mind and doesn’t wish to buy at all/list the home
    • Client only wanted a home value estimate and had no intention of selling

    4. Couldn’t find home in budget
    • Client did not like anything in their price range or no home is being sold in their price range at this time

    5. Mortgage/Funding issues
    • The client is unable to buy a home due to the following reasons: did not get approved for loan, did not have enough money for down payment, lost their job, co-signer back out, etc.

    6. Doesn’t work area
    • Client is looking to buy/sell outside of your coverage area. Note: You may want to adjust your zip code or radius settings.

    7. Language barrier
    • Client needs someone who speaks a language he/she is fluent in

    8. Transaction with an iBuyer
    • Client decided not to list home and took a cash offer instead

    9. I am no longer with brokerage
    • You do not work with the brokerage anymore

    10. Duplicate referral
    • You received this client from another source already (we need to be notified in 24 hours if this is the case).
    • Client is located in your funnel more than once in error

  • When is it OK to move a client to Long Term Hold?

    Long term hold pauses a client in your app for 30 days. Within those 30 days, this client does not need to be updated every seven days. Once those 30 days have expired, you will need to update that referral again. If they still need more time before moving forward, you can place them back on Long Term Hold.

    Below are a list of reasons why you should move a client to this section of your sales funnel:

    • Personal Issues

    • Your client had an emergency occur such as a family or health issue.

    • Funding

    • Your client needs a couple of months to save for their down payment.

    • Credit

    • Your client is working on their credit score with a program, paying off some debt and/or waiting for an updated score.

    Please remember that using long term hold does not penalize your score unless it’s being abused. Placing too many clients in long term hold can hurt your agent score. We recommend that if your client does not fall under these circumstances to take a look at the removal list and remove them from your funnel.

  • What does PrimeStreet Qualified mean?

    This doesn't mean referrals are pre-approved or pre-qualified, it just means that they've gone through the PrimeStreet pre-screening process.

    If they are not pre-qualified, we ask them if they are a cash buyer.

    If they are not, we ask for their credit score range/bucket, and we ask if they have a down payment. Their credit score must be fair to excellent.

    If they have no down payment, we ask if they are military or veteran. If they are not, we don't refer them to an agent.

  • I closed a home with a PrimeStreet referral! What happens next?

    Congratulations! When you close a home with a PrimeStreet referral, you must mark the opportunity as closed in your PrimeStreet app right away. You can do this by opening your PrimeStreet funnel and moving the client opportunity to the “Closed” stage. You will then be prompted to enter information about the closing (i.e Property Address, Sale Price, Close Date, etc.).

    If the referral was received as part of our PrimeStreet Referrals program, the following additional steps will take place:

    Shortly after submitting this information, you and your broker will both receive instructions via email for submitting closing documentation. Once closing documentation is received, we will process an invoice for the referral fee and email it directly to your broker. The invoice will provide all the information needed to submit payment either electronically through our payment portal, or via a check mailed directly to our billing department at the address below.

    If you have additional questions regarding billing or payments, you can reach our billing team at [email protected].

  • What performance level with clients is needed to achieve a high agent score and maximize my chances of receiving the best referrals?

    Top PrimeStreet agents meet with more than a third of their referrals and close about 10% of referrals received.

About My App

  • How do I update my app to the latest version?

    For iOS: Please ensure you have upgraded to our Business App. If you’re not sure if that’s the app you are using, you’ll notice the Business version has the registered trademark symbol (®). If you are in the Business app, you are updated automatically when you login.

    For Android: Find the listing in the Google Play Store. It will prompt you to update the app if you are running an older version.

    If after doing this, it’s still not working correctly, please let us know and give us the following details as well:

    What type of device are you using? (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+, Google Pixel 2, iPhone 8, iPhone XS, etc.)

    What operating system are you running?
    ---> For Android, open your device's Settings. Tap About Phone or About Device. Tap Android Version to display your version information.
    ---> For iOS, Find the Settings Icon, Click Settings, Click General, Click About, Scroll to Version

    Note: If your Android operating system version is less than 7.0, you need to update your phone’s software. If your iOS version is less than 15.0, you also need to update your phone’s software.

    If you are running an older version of the app, follow the steps below to check for updates.

    iPhone:

    1. Open the App Store (Application on phone)
    2. Select 'Today' on the Tab bar (should be the bottom left)
    3. Click into their 'Account' (icon in top right)
    4. Pull this list down and refresh the list (gear/loading icon at top)
    5. The PrimeStreet application should be listed below as an available update
    6. If the above does not show a PrimeStreet application update please continue
    7. Click into “Purchased”
    8. Click into “My Purchases”
    9. Search for “'PrimeStreet”
    10. The application should show the ability to update if there is one available.

    Android:
    1. Go to the Google Play Store
    2. Type PrimeStreet in the search field
    3. Click on the PrimeStreet icon
    4. Select “Update”, if there is one available.

  • How do I set sound notifications?

    We have a few unique options for sounds. To set this up, go to the PrimeStreet app then choose My Profile > Settings > Notification Settings > Notification Sound. From here, you will see options to pick a sound.

    Things to keep in mind:
    • If you are actively in the app and a referral comes in, it will just display on your screen. It will NOT make a sound!
    • If you are in another app or phone is locked, it will make a sound.

    If you have a smartwatch, the audio will not play the same sound on the phone, it will play the default watch tone. This will be the same for iOS and Google watches.

  • How do I set my coverage area?

    To set up your coverage area, choose My Profile > I will work within > +Add Area > Type in desired zip code and select > Add radius in miles.

    To ensure you are set up to receive the most referrals, be sure you are setting up a radius from a zip code during the app set up process. For example, if you use 25 miles from 23510, you will get referrals from several cities. Remember to deselect all the zip codes within a radius that you do not want to actively work.

    If you are unsure of a radius of a zip code this link can be a great tool.
