Is is legal for a CA Commercial Real Estate broker to accept a fee from a service provider...?
...they recommend to their clients. I have a business marketing Cost Segregation Studies to commercial property owners. I want to partner with Commercial Real Estate Brokers and allow them to leverage their existing database and accept a referral fee from me. I am located in California so information specific to my state would be helpful. However, because Cost Segregation is used to reduce federal income taxes, I am also interested in learning what the rules are in the other 49 States. Any information is greatly appreciated.

- Brokers can, agents can't. If you want to give the agent a referral fee, it has to go thru the broker.
