Agents, would you consider this a conflict of interest or an opportunity?
Hello BP,
I'm just getting started into investing in real estate-- I also work for a company that offers access to all genres of attorneys to the general public for a low monthly fee. I've been contemplating approaching agents that I know in states that require closing attorneys to see if they'd be interested in marketing the legal service to their clients to use for closings and beyond. To me, this seems like a win/win-- the client saves money through a service that handles all of their legal needs (including a hopefully imminent closing) for $17/mo, and the agent makes commission from the sale of their client's membership. Licensees, what do you think of this? Is this a kickback or is it something that could enhance a buyer's experience with you?
Thank you,
Jordan Acosta
