Just because a real estate agent recommends additional services does not mean a kickback or a referral fee is the motive of your agent.Services are such as Title and Mortgage companies are not allowed to give kickbacks or referral fees under RESPA to real estate agents or anyone else for that matter. How about trying to provide service and solid advice to the customer to use companies they can trust. Not all agents are on the "take" as some believe. This current market will shake out crummy agents and will leave the true professionals.

A weak realtor
I used a real estate agent to help me buy a property and she was easily bullied by the seller's broker. I finally had to call the seller's broker myself and insist on some very basic things (e.g., getting the keys to the apt.)
I will only use a realtor who can stick up for me and get me what I want.

Honest hard-w0rking agent is worth weight in gold
I have an agent that is so intelligent and honest that he squeaks. He is worth ever dollar spent for his services.
