Agents: That symbiotic relationship

[d000hg]

What, so you've never heard of a referal fee? Perhaps you should dip your toe in the real business world and see how (above board) referals work?

A referral fee is something more formal, not bunging someone a random wad of cash as a thankyou. Perhaps you should look at the real world where it's not unacceptable to do someone a favour.

Sorry but I dont see why your agent 'friend' didnt give you at least 10% of his commission for you giving him this 'in.' It doesnt matter imho that the client paid you as well, you provided a service to both so should have been asking for money from both.

Alternatively he can make his own mind up about what is an acceptable reward.

Absolutely! If he wants to hand his agent a juicy lead on a plate and ask for nothing in return, I'm sure his agent will love him forever and that will be reward enough.
