I was told by some people that I should receive a referral or a finder's fee from him. That "fee" would really help me right now, but I'm not sure how or if I should approach him about this. He has yet to mention or give me such a thing.

Any ideas, adivce?
Are you in the business? If you are a real estate agent yourself, then yes, you would get a referral fee, something like .5%, here in the US anyway. My step-dad used to be a realtor and we'd always have him refer us to someone when buying or selling real estate so he could get a little check.

If you're just a regular non-realtor type person, nope, never heard of that!
