Explanation
A kickback occurs when a licensee receives undisclosed compensation from a third party (lender, inspector, title company) for referring their clients. RESPA prohibits kickbacks in connection with federally-related mortgage transactions. Under ORS Chapter 696, undisclosed compensation creates a conflict of interest and can result in OREA disciplinary action.
