<p>It wasn't clear the question was about agents sharing
commissions, but referral fees are very common in real estate, and
allowed.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates. I am not familiar with all of
the rules governing real estate agents so hopefully those of
you who work that arena can educate me. Client wants to know
if a selling agent can give/rebate the buyer part of the
selling agents commission. On its face I don’t see an issue
unless there is some sort of prohibition on fee sharing like
with attorneys or it violates some MLS rule. Thanks in
advance! Craig
