Working with RE Agent

[Robert Burns]

I have a buyer who is very interested in buying a minor to moderate rehab property for himself to live in. I have a RE agent with a property that may be what he wants. I need some advice on how to handle this deal. If I just hand over the buyer to the RE agent and can she compensate me for the referral? I don't think that's legal. The other senario is that I put the house under contract and then assign the contract to my buyer with a assignment fee built in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
