The large international corporate monopolies seeking to take over and destroy our real estate market, Zillow, Compass, and Rocket, are not satisfied with monopolizing real estate sales, but also affiliated services, such as mortgage, closing, and title services. This has always been the desire of short-sighted real estate companies that, instead of putting all their energy into serving their customers, look at customers as sheep to be slaughtered and want to get as much meat off it as they can.
When I started in real estate, every real estate broker attempted to have a lender, title, and escrow relationship that they could monetize. These often crossed lines of legality, resulting in fines and companies being shut down. You can imagine that a buyer of real estate is vulnerable to using the vendor recommended by their real estate agent, but when that agent does not disclose that the ONLY reason they are being recommended is that the agent or agency is getting a kickback it becomes fraud.
