Is sending bank advertisements (home mortgage related) to local realtors a violation of RESPA?

Advertisements for the realtors to hand out? Or just sending them the same ads you send to other customers? Either way probably not unless you are paying them to hand things out.

It is an advertisement that could be provided in a newspaper or general public; however the delivery is a flyer directed to the realtors. The purpose is to gain business (referrals) from the realtors.

If it is just an advertisement saying here are our rates or we do stuff good then it wouldn't be an issue to me. The advertisement by itself isn't going to be a thing of value.
