A kickback is a kickback... no matter what you call it... and doing business this way is unethical.

The Bush administration actually tried to do something about this madness a few years ago with a new RESPA regulation that would have allowed lenders to bundle services and charge a single guaranteed fee. (Believe it or not, current rules actually prohibit this!) It was killed by intense lobbying by the National Association of Realtors and National Association of Mortgage Brokers, aided unfortunately by Republicans like Wayne Allard. NAR is basically a criminal enterprise.

I love all the "$50 Processing Fees" and "$65 Document Preparation Fees" that always wind up on closing statements.
