However you are asking the correct question when it comes to liability damages this is absolutely a lawyer question in that this can be subject to change based off of where the property is located.

This is the beauty of being a contractor, realtor, lawyers to get a few bad apples out of business.

One other point if your going to get compensated for bringing a buyer and seller together in a real estate transaction your going to need a License broker in that state.. and if you want compensation you will need a license in CA and make referral fee's. other wise I guess your just working as a referring consultant on a fee basis. but be very careful of putting compensation on a hud. things go sideways that's the first place the lawyers are going to check.. were you licensed.
