Is it worth holding a real estate license as a developer?

[Account Closed]

hi folks

i am currently trying to weigh the potential benefits of getting a real estate license for my california deals.

I have $8 million of new homes to sell in one year and am understandably reluctant to the idea of handling $400,000 of my hard earned money to a realtor who will only open the doors for me

I don't think that holding a RE license would make my lenders more flexible or cheaper.

As the market is fairly hot for now, i could just pay a few hundred bucks for a MLS listing and handle the sale myself. I am a professional developer so my liability is in line anyway and no RE agent can shield me from potential claims according lawyers i've been talking to

What's your take on it?
