💸 Referral fees? Let’s keep it legal, agents: ✔️ Only licensed real estate pros can cash in ✔️ If you're in the deal and getting paid, disclose it 🚫 No license = no fee. Sorry, Aunt Linda - even if she “knows a guy.” When your unlicensed cousin asks for a referral fee…

When agents offer to pay for repairs or rebate commission to close a deal? That’s called an inducement — and it’s legal in Ohio. BUT it must be disclosed in the purchase contract or an addendum. Transparency protects everyone. 🏡 #OhioRealEstate #REtips
