Question About Lead & Realtor Finder's Fee?

[Lue Blackwell]

Hi, question: And this is probably dependent on the state, but if a wholesaler has a warm lead that they've found for a homeowner who wants to sell but doesn't want to deal with a wholesaler, is it possible for that wholesaler to receive a finder's fee or somehow be compensated if they pass that lead onto a local real estate agent? I know realtors are bound by state regulations and parameters. Also, the wholesaler is fine with passing this directly to an end buyer too. 
Any feedback or input would be appreciated.
