Any other loan officer/ realtor husband wife teams out there?

[Luke Dilorenzo]

Hey BP I need some relationship advice lol..

Long story short, I am a licensed loan officer and investor with a decent book of biz. My wife just got licensed as a agent and is hanging her hat at a brokerage that is offering 50/50 on her first deals (which she is getting from me because I have hot leads from my side of the biz)

This brokerage owner is a prospect referral partner of mine, but have not received any deals. I feel as though as a lender, I am giving this guy my referral even though it’s through my wife and it makes me feel some what uncomfortable.

First off, I would like to know if 50/50 is a good deal for a new agent who is going to get up quick because of a steady flow of leads coming from me

Also, sounds pity but I think I would rather my wife work with someone who does send me referrals since they will be eating 50% of the deals I’m bringing in. If I’m being a bit too sensitive I would like to know. I just have a hard tone handing deals off to a principal broker that won’t reciprocate.
