Referral fees from buyers/sellers in Florida

[David Rubio]

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I'm a new real estate agent and I want to make sure this is legal. I've searched through my entire pre-licensing course and I couldn't find anything.

In Florida, is it illegal for a licensed real estate agent to receive a referral fee from an unlicensed buyer or seller for bringing them together?

Thanks!

@David Rubio I would have the seller sign a commission agreement for the help of this transaction paid to your broker. A commission agreement is not an exclusive agreement. It just states that your broker will be compensated if you were to bring  buyer to the table. Very simple and straight forward.
