Hi BP Members!
I am looking for referrals to attorneys who can help out with some legals questions on commissions for things like referrals. In most (maybe all?) states, one has to be a licensed broker to take any fees, commissions, or payments for real estate related services.
But I want to speak to a lawyer about the definitions of these laws and just how far they extend. I have a friend starting a business that will be nationwide and she needs some clarity on these matters.
She is looking for a real expert, as well as someone that could give her advice on the nationwide aspect of receiving payments for real estate related services. Tips or leads to lawyers are appreciated.

If you're looking for an attorney to provide such a large scale form of advice, you're likely to have to go with one of the larger firms in America. Attorneys can only speak to those states where they are licensed in. Unless you want to hire an attorney in each state, the large firms are for you. Try reaching out to one of the larger Real Estate firms in the United States; like DLA Piper.
