I don’t see an INHERENT conflict of interest. I can certainly see ways in which it COULD be a conflict of interest depending on your role(s) in a specific transaction, but I think if you are selling real estate and also arranging mortgages for other deals, there is nothing to worry about.
But check the licensing laws of your state to make sure it is OK.

They have a system in place for RE agents to originate loans in compliance with RESPA regulations. It requires you to become a PT employee of their company - somehow that covers a compliance rule.

Let me step out on a limb here…
I would have to say that if you are having trouble answering the question from either seat, loan officer or RE agent, that you may have a much larger problem here.
