Post: How to write "Finders or Referral Fee" for out of state Commercial deal as LIC CA REA

Hi Everyone any advice on how to write up a "Finders Fee" or a "Referral Fee" agreement or which contract to use for a OUT OF STATE Commercial RE Deal?
Seller out of state has no representation, buyers out of state have no representation.
Buyers are in CA
Do you do a FINDERS FEE for Seller only or BOTH SELLER & BUYER? &
What standard percentage for each since its out of state and RE License is only for CA?
Have it paid out of escrow? or include it in closing costs of escrow?
or do you do a Referral FEE with Seller since its out of state and have Buyer pay a Referral Fee and at what percentage?
Summary: out of state commercial deal, neither Seller or buyer have reps. Buyer is from your RE licensed state of CA. Seller is from out of state where you dont have a RE License. How do you structure agreement to get paid from both sides?
How would you write the compensation agreement? is there one already out there that is standard for this?
Thanks for the help in advance

So far they have found a few 5/1, 7/1 ARMS for $1MM+ with 40% down

I saw Lion Desk actually wasnt too bad. Ive heard RealVolve, Salesforce, Contactually, Insightly, Market Leader, Top Producer, Rethink, Zoho, Pipedrive, Apptivo, Bitrix 24, Base
Sooooooo many
Was leaning towards Contactually but doesnt integrate with our local MLS here in Los Angeles but heard good things about user interface was good price too
Now Leaning toward Top Producer as some fellow colleagues have said good things about it, but its a little pricier @ around $40/month

Hi Im a New Agent
Been looking into some CRM Managements for Real Estate Agents
There are sooooo many
Which ones are the Best, Cost effective, User friendly, and Integrate California MLS and other integrations and offer simple export import of Contacts Emails etc with GMail AOL etc
Also looking for a tool to easily upload business cards as i get a ton of them a day to the database
Maybe a Iphone app that works with 1 of these CRMS or something that scans or snaps a photo of it and converts it into the database automatically?
Ive seen a few but wondering everyones experience and why you would suggest a certain CRM over the other
Thanks fellow BP colleagues in advance

Just got License, Checking Out Best Brokerages in Town to work with, Im a Newbie, I know a lot of people will be biased towards their own brokerage but why?
Differences: fees, commissions, training, help with advertising, lead generations, mentoring etc.
Bigger firm or boutique firm?
Mentor or no mentor?
Join a group or dont join a group?
How to decide which neighborhoods to focus on or in
Etc....
Any help greatly appreciated
