We have this situation.
Seller is not an agent but wants to short sale his home here in Tehachapi.
Brother to seller is a licensed CA realtor and wants a commission referral. Is he allowed to get the commission or not due to the arms length stuff?
Thanks,
Lola

I have seen this question come up before. Technically the "arms length" is supposed to apply to the buyer and the seller. But, some lenders take it a step further and apply it to all parties involved in the transaction.
You could try to get the commission referral for the brother. Another option is to accept the full commission and then pay the brother from those proceeds after the transaction is completed.
