I would not accept applications from third parties without an agreement in place to avoid the situation that you are describing. You need an agreement to say what is and what is not acceptable to be submitted as an application, what qualifies for the broker to receive a broker fee (RESPA Section 8 concerns) and who is responsible for what disclosures.
