Might be selling two properties - is it worth getting real estate license first?

[Duane Gunkler]

So long story short, I have a townhouse I might sell (~$250k) and a house (~$520k).  I'm wondering if it would be worth getting my real estate license and then listing them myself.  I am fairly knowledgeable about real estate, so I'm thinking that the combined $20k-ish in listing fees might be worth it for me to just go ahead and crank out my real estate license.  There are plenty of other long-term benefits of me having the license for future purchases, etc., but curious if anyone here has faced the same decision, if so, what you decided, and what you learned from it?

Thanks in advance!
