The Better Way Started Here
Hi, I’m Mark Mertel. I started My Best Referrals Group (MBR) to offer a better way to find trusted professionals in nearly every business discipline for home, business, and personal needs. Unlike random online directories, providers in the MBR Directory must be invited by an existing MBR member provider who vouches for their excellence. If you spoke with an MBR member provider, just like a good friend, they would tell you, “This is who I would use!”
My Best Referral was born from a simple but powerful idea—that great work deserves great referrals, and great clients deserve better ways to find them. This isn’t a list. It’s a community. A hand-curated network built on real relationships, not search engine results.
No more guesswork. No more gambling.
Contact your preferred provider directly or utilize your personal concierge — either way, you’re matched with trusted professionals we’d recommend to our own families.
“I launched MBR upon recognizing that the most reliable referrals came from people I
trusted—friends and colleagues—who consistently provided excellent
recommendations. I thought, “Why rely on strangers or unpredictable sources when I
can access trusted referrals?” As a result, I assembled a group of trusted professionals,
and we began sharing referrals among ourselves. Over time, we expanded this trusted
network to include more providers and made it accessible to our clients, giving birth to MBR”

Built on Trust. Backed by Values.
