Johnny Rodriguez: Got a Lead Using Halo

The Story in 15 Seconds

  • Johnny Rodriguez got his first Halo referral lead.
  • It came from a New Jersey reader about an hour and a half away.
  • He had been reading all of Johnny's market updates.
  • He has capital saved and wants to do his first deal.
  • Johnny connected him with a good agent in his area.


A reader from about an hour and a half away had been following every one of Johnny Rodriguez's market updates. Then he reached out. It is Johnny's first referral lead from his Halo site, and he was shocked it came from that far.

A Lead From Far Outside His Area

Johnny shared the news with the Halo community as a win. The lead came from about an hour and a half away, which surprised him.

The message was clear and specific, so he read it out exactly as it came in.

What the Lead Wrote

The writer lives in New Jersey and had been reading Johnny's market updates. He said Johnny understands the current market in a way many outsiders do not. He has capital saved and wants to do his first deal, but he does not know where to find it.

"I'm loving that you have the right understanding of our current market, which a lot of outsiders don't see and understand. I have capital saved up and want to do my first deal, but where do I find my first deal?"
— Johnny Rodriguez, reading the lead's message

Connecting Him to the Right Agent

Johnny and the lead have been going back and forth. Because the lead is far from his area, Johnny spoke to his broker, found a good agent down that way and connected them for a referral.

The lead gets someone local, and Johnny stays the person who made the introduction.

How the referral worked
  1. The reader writes inHe lives about an hour and a half away and follows Johnny's market updates.
  2. Johnny asks his brokerThe lead is far from his area, so he looks for help closer to the reader.
  3. A local agent takes overThey find a good agent down that way and connect them for a referral.

The reader gets someone local, and Johnny stays the person who made the introduction.

One Habit Worth Copying

Keep writing about your market in plain terms. Readers who agree with what you say may write in when they are ready, even if they live well outside your area.

When a lead is too far away, bring in your broker and connect them with a strong local agent.
