I've been sent an ad to review for a Realtor event sponsered by the bank. It states "Special Gift, Free Food, Door Prizes, Giveaways, and the Cash Machine"

Wouldn't this be something of value for possible referrals?

Have you invited all realtors, or just specific ones?

To answer your question: Yes, that is something of value. But as Skittles is trying to get at, this isn't necessarily illegal. If everyone's invited, it might be okay.

It appears to be to all local realtors but I am checking to make sure.

Thanks smile

The invites are going out to all realtors that are a part of the area Realtors Association.

Would this be ok? If so, can you please point me to a reference so that I may defend it?
