question- commission split
My friend asked me to help him find an agent in NYC for a large purchase in commercial real estate. I see an opportunity and want to get a piece of the commission for bringing in the business. However, one broker told me that that falls under their "kickback" clause.  Is there any way yo legally split the commission with a finder's/procurement fee or something along those lines.
