However, the trend we see is that some of the national Realty companies now own their own mortgage companies and title companies, and they will find ways to punish their Realtor associates if they do not convince their clients to utilze the services of these in-house providers. One Realtor was told that if he did not increase his percentage of clients utilizing the in-house providers, he would be transferred to one of the undesireable slow satellite offices.

It doesn't surprise me though, real estate companies are 'in it to win it'. If they can turn a higher profit by using preferred partners and perhaps stimulate salespersons by offering higher incentives, for using preferred partners... why wouldn't they? I will definitely keep this article in mind when making my next home purchase. Thanks! This is really good info… thanks for the heads-up!
