Advice on brokering a deal between two agents

[Simeon Rivas]

Hi everyone, 

I have an opportunity to connect two agents. One has a few large off market deals, and the other has a potential client who is ready to buy a few million. I want a referral fee for putting together the transaction. Can I get any advice on how to do this where I can avoid being worked out of the deal? I want to make sure that this is fair for me and everyone else. I am newer as a realtor, but I have lots of experience investing be it stock or real estate. 

Thank you!
