California Referral Sheet

A California referral checklist for sharing general questions without sensitive client records.

Before referring

  • Confirm the client wants an introduction.
  • Identify the receiving company and verify its Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) identifiers.
  • Explain who will receive the introduction and disclose any affiliation.
  • Do not promise eligibility, terms, or proceeds.

California questions to flag

  • Current insurance availability and premium
  • Property taxes, assessments, and HOA dues
  • Trust or title questions
  • Need for California legal or tax advice

No-kickback rule

  • No fee or thing of value is paid for directing a consumer to a settlement-service provider.
  • The homeowner controls whether to continue.
