Hawaii License Law
In Hawaii, a licensee who receives a gift from a service provider (home inspector, contractor) for referrals is potentially violating:
AA. Only their brokerage's internal policies
BB. RESPA (if a federally related transaction) and their fiduciary duty of loyalty to the client✓ Correct
CC. Hawaii tax law only
DD. No law since gifts are not the same as cash payments
Explanation
Receiving anything of value for referrals in federally related transactions may violate RESPA's anti-kickback provisions. Additionally, undisclosed referral arrangements breach fiduciary duties.
