About CRG

A Better Way to Network

Carolinas Referral Group (CRG) is a professional, non-competitive referral organization based in the greater Charlotte area. Our sole focus is to help members grow and strengthen their businesses through trusted relationships and consistent referrals. Each CRG chapter is industry-exclusive and meets once a week, providing a structured yet friendly environment for networking, learning, and collaboration.

Founded in 2014 out of a Ballantyne real estate office, Carolinas Referral Group began as Charlotte Referral Group before expanding to serve the broader Charlotte region. CRG was created as a more relaxed, yet professional alternative to traditional networking groups, with a focus on quality referrals and meaningful business growth.

CRG members regularly refer friends, family, clients, and customers to one another—built on a foundation of trust and accountability. Over the years, members have referred millions of dollars in business within the group while also raising tens of thousands of dollars for local charities.
