    “When you understand our model, you will understand why we must generate high-quality leads. Unlike other companies, our income isn’t derived from selling leads. We earn an income only once the client buys or sells. So naturally, we have a greater incentive to provide high-quality leads to our agents that will actually amount to something.”
