Make an introduction

A useful referral is simple.

Provide enough context for a considerate first conversation—not a mortgage file. Nicholas receives the introduction directly through his business email.

  1. 01
    Permission

    Confirm that the person asked for or authorized the introduction and understands Nicholas may contact them individually.

  2. 02
    Useful context

    Share the high-level goal, property state or market, decision they are facing, and any deadline that could affect the next step.

  3. 03
    A clean handoff

    Tell Nicholas how the person prefers to be contacted and whether you want to stay copied, make the first group introduction, or step back.

Keep sensitive information out of this form.

Do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, tax returns, income or asset documents, divorce decrees, settlement agreements, court records, health information, credentials, or uploaded files. Nicholas will provide a secure path if documents are later needed.

Thank you—the introduction was sent.Nicholas will review the context and follow up personally using the contact information provided.
