Answered by: 

Question: 
If we process, underwrite and close loans in our name, but pay the third party originator a referral fee and disclose it on the Good Faith Estimate is this a violation of RESPA?
Answer: 

The third party must earn the fee otherwise you have a Section 8 violation. Review II. RESPA Policy Statement 1999-1 C. here.
