Having a Real Estate License: Does that make you an Agent?

[Account Closed]

I was wondering about something for a little while now. When you get your salesperson license you will then have access to the MLS, and you need to find a broker to "sponsor" you. So, does this technically make you an agent? I was thinking, if I could start off working as an agent listing and marketing properties for sellers and then bringing them buyers and collecting a 3%-6% commission for each transaction it would be a great way for me to raise capital for investing. Would it be possible to be an agent and an investor at the same time or is being an agent a full time job that would make it difficult to invest as well. Would appreciate it if anyone could answer my questions or give me advice on this matter. It's something I've really been thinking about.
