I've searched hard through the forum, and I can't find a thread on this issue. If I missed it please accept my apology.

The common ediquette here in Louisiana is that if a realtor refers a client to the mortgage agent then the mortgage agent is supposed to refer clients back to the realtor. I've tried several mortgage agents around here and found that they are always the ones that end up with the candy cane, and I end up with a good 'ol boy slap on the back. I'm sorry, but an "At-a-boy" doesn't put groceries on the table.

Today I had yet another referral for a mortgage agent. I called him up and told him I wanted 25% of the loan origination fee or $250, whichever is greater. The mortgage agent was really defensive about it, but after a lengthly confrontation agreed to fax me a written agreement detailing as such.

How do you guys feel about it? Is there anyone else that is tired of putting groceries on the mortgage agents table and only getting a slap on the back in return?
