They're also a breed that can be susceptible to Canine Bloat. For puppies, a heavy good-quality spill-proof dog bowl that's also 'non-skid' is highly recommended! There are also some excellent, heavy-duty raised dog bowls that work well to keep food and water in the dishes and not on your kitchen floor.
Hi Mark. The referral fee up to $500.00 can be paid to a non-licensee legally in California by a broker or real estate agent SOLELY in a real estate transaction that does not have a federally funded loan, for example an all cash purchase otherwise there very well could be a RESPA violation for such a referral fee.
Your family member didn't want you to let them refer you. They didn't think your house was very high end. They didn't think you had no lifelong friends who are in real estate. More specifically, they wanted the referral fee. Often it's 25% off the top of the buyer's or seller's side, which can be negotiated up front between the agents.
