After deliberation, we resolved to attribute much of this confusion to the following opinion issued by the Georgia Attorney General in 1953, which gives variance on individuals who casually refers someone to a property they are aware of being sold. The legality of this being hinged upon the referrer not receiving compensation for his referral. As stated in O.C.G.A. 43-40-1, this compensation can come in the form of a "fee, commission, or any other valuable consideration."[^2].

Person who procures a purchaser for real estate, but who does not accept any compensation therefor, does not violate law requiring all real estate dealers to first procure a license, notwithstanding fact that such person does charge a fee for services in procuring a loan incident to purchase of such property. 1952-53 Ga.
